Fatigue crack propagation rate and threshold characteristics of the SA516/70 steel which is used for the low temperature pressure vessels, were studied in the room temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and low temperature ranges of $-10^{\circ}C,\;-30^{\circ}C,\;-60^{\circ}C\;and\;-80^{\circ}C$ with stress ratio of R=0.1. In the logarithmic relationship between the fatigue crack propagation rate($d{\alpha}/dN$) and stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}K$, the linear relationship was obtained up to $d{\alpha}/dN=4.425{\times}10^4mm/cycle$ in the same of room temperature, but in low temperature case, the relationship was extended to the range of low crack propagation rate. The fractured specimens were examined by SEM. Tested results showed that specimen failed at low temperature exhibit the quasi-cleavage fracture formation however considerable ductility proceed final fracture.

Tensile tests were conducted at low temperatures for the steel materials which are used for outer shell of the vessels making transit through the polar regions. The selected steel materials were GL-DH32, GL-DH36 and GL-EH36. In comparison with the results at room temperature, the yield stress increases approximately by 10 to 13 percent at $-30^{\circ}C$ and by 13 to 19 percent at $-50^{\circ}C$ while the tensile strength increases about by 9 percent at $-30^{\circ}C$ and 11 to 14 percent at $-50^{\circ}C$. To obtain true stress-true strain, i.e. correct plastic hardening characteristics, Bridgman's(1952) necking correction formula was introduced taking triaxial state of stresses after onset of diffuse necking into consideration. Photographs of fractured surfaces were taken by using Scanning Electron Microscope immedately after tensile tests completed and one for GL-EH36 has been presented in this paper.

비정질 실리콘박막의 고상결정화 특성에 대한 비정질 박막의 증착방법, 수소화 정도, 표면결정 활성화 에너지 변화 및 열처리 환경 영향을 X선 회절, EDAX, Raman 분광 분석으로 조사하였다. 저온(58$0^{\circ}C$)열처리 corning 시료에서 기판 barium(Ba), aluminum(AI) 성분의 막내 확산 임계열처리시간 및 확산에 기인 한 불안정 결정화 특성을 관찰하였다. 화학기상증착 석영 수소화 시료에서 hard damage 기계적 활성화 효과로 얻어진 조대결정립 결정화 특성을 X선 회절의 (111) 배향 상대강도 변화로 관찰 할 수 있었으며, 이는 활성화 효과에 의한 고상 결정화 시 핵생성과 성장속도변화로 다결정 실리콘의 전기적물성 향상 가능성을 보여주었다. Soft damage, bare 활성화 처리 수소화막의 결정화는 비정질 상의 혼재, 박막 응력등의 저품위 입계특성 및 미세결정립 성장 특성으로 관찰되었으나, 활성화 전처리에 의한 저온 및 고온(875$^{\circ}C$)단시간(30분) 결정화는 확인 되었다. 스퍼터링 비수소화 막의 결정화는 상변태 상태의 Raman 결정피크로 분석 되었으며, 결정화 거동에 선행막의 스퍼터링 및 비수소화 영향은 활성화효과에 관계없이 불완전 저품위 결정특성으로 확인되었다. AFM 표면형상은 3차원 island 성막특성을 보여주었고 표면거칠기정도는 높은 것으로 관찰되었다.

This paper discusses a new formulation for the failure strain in the average stress triaxiaility domain for a low-temperature high-strength steel (EH36). The new formula available at a low average stress triaxiality zone is proposed based on the comparison of two results from tensile tests of flat type specimens and their numerical simulations. In order to confirm the validity of the failure strain formulation, a user-subroutine was developed using Abaqus/Explicit, which is known to be one of the most popular commercial finite element analysis codes. Numerical fracture simulations with the user-subroutine were conducted for all the tensile tests. A comparison of the engineering stress-strain curves and engineering failure strain obtained from the numerical simulation with the user-subroutine for the tensile tests revealed that the newly developed user-subroutine effectively predicts the initiation of failure.

Pb(Zn/sub 1/3/Nb/sub 2/3/)O₃(PZN)은 전형적인 완화형 강유전체로서 급격하게 상전이를 일으키는 것이 아니라 온도에 따라 완만하게 변화하는 물질이다. 완화형 강유전체의 경우, 저온에서는 ㎛ 이상의 거시분역이 존재하고 일반적인 강유전체와 유사한 특성을 가지지만, 온도가 증가하면서 거시분역이 불안정해 지고 크기가 자가져서 수 nm 크기의 미소 극성 영역으로 나뉘는데, 이때 결정구조, 유전율, 유전 손실등의 온도와 주파수에 따른 변화를 관찰하여 강유전 상전이 현상의 특징을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 융제법에 의해 PZN-xPT 단결정을 성장시킨 후 온도에 따른 결정구조를 변화를 측정하고, 이러한 결정구조의 변화가 강유전 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 순수한 PZN은 전형적인 완화형 강유전체의 상전이거동을 나타내었으며, PT의 함량이 증가하면서 점차 일반적인 강유전체로 전이하는 것이 관찰되었다. 그러나 PZN-0.12PT의 경우도 완전한 일반적 강유전체는 아니었으며 완화형거동을 일부 나타내었다. 모든 조성에서 온도가 감소하면서 국부적인 응력의 증가가 관찰되었으며, 응력의 인가 정도는 H 함량에 따라 증가하였다. 이상의 변화는 순수한 PEW에서 나타나는 미소분역들이 온도의 감소와 H 양의 증가에 따라 정전기적 상호작용을 일으키면서 강유전분역으로 성장하기 때문이었으며, Vogel-fulture식에 따른 유전율 최대온도와 측정주파수간의 관계는 분역들간의 상호작용을 됫받침해주었다.

The fatigue crack growth behavior of the cold-rolled STS 304 steel developed for membrane material of LNG storage tank was examined experimentally at 293K, 153K and 111K. The fatigue crack growth rate(do/dN) tends to increase as the stress ratio (R) increases over the testing temperature when compared at the same stress intensity factor range($\Delta$K). The effect of R on do/dN is more explicit at low temperatures than at room temperature. The resistance of fatigue crack growth at low temperatures is higher compared with that at room temperature which is attributed to the extent of strain-induced martensitic transformation at the crack tip. The temperature dependence of fatigue crack growth resistance is gradually vanished with an increase in $\Delta$K which correlates with a decreasing fracture toughness with decreasing temperature. Fractographic examinations reveal that the differences of the fatigue crack growth characteristics between room and low temperature are mainly explained by the crack closure and the strengthening due to the martensitic transformation.

최근 컨테이너 선박의 초대형화로 극후물 고장력 강재인 항복응력 460MPa급 고장력강인 EH47이 개발되었다. 두께 80mm의 극후물 용접에서 용접생산성 향상을 위하여 EGW/FCAW로 양면 용접이 검토되고, 입열량은 최대 300kJ/cm의 대입열 용접이 요구된다. 이를 위해서는 강재 및 용접재료 모두 300kJ/cm 용접부 성능이 선급 규격을 만족하여야 함은 물론 마지막 조립단계에서 적용되기 때문에 용접재료의 용접작업성도 매우 크게 요구되고 있다. 먼저 대입열 용접금속에서 요구되는 저온 충격인성($vE_{-20^{\circ}C}{\geq}57J$)을 만족하기 위하여는 용접금속의 미세조직 제어가 필요하며, 특히 조대한 입계페라이트 생성을 억제하고 미세한 입내 페라이트를 균일 분포하는 것이 중요하지만, 이를 위해 용접금속의 소입성이 지나치게 높이면 경화조직인 베이나이트 분율이 증가하여 오히려 용접금속 저온 충격인성을 저하시키므로, 적절한 용접금속의 성분 제어가 중요하다. 한편 용접부는 선급에서 요구하는 최소 강도인 570MPa를 만족하기 위하여 용접금속의 소성구속 현상을 활용하여 용접부 인장강도를 확보 할 수 있음을 확인했다. 이를 위해서는 용접금속의 적정한 경화도 확보가 필요하였다. 전술한 바와 같이 대입열 용접금속 저온 충격인성 확보와 용접부 강도 측면을 고려하여 용접금속 최적의 탄소당량 범위를 제시코자 하였다. 한편 용접재료의 용접작업성은 EGW용접의 용적이행 현상은 자유비행이행으로 이루어지고 있으며 특성상 용접중 용적과 용융지 사이에 많은 순간단락 현상을 동반하고 있으며, 슬래그 유동이 불안정하면 아크 꺼짐 현상도 관찰되고 있다. 따라서, 현장용접시 원할한 용접작업성을 확보할 수 있는 평가 기준으로써 아크 전류 및 전압의 변동 정도를 설정하고, 용접재료의 용접작업성 확보 기준을 제시코자 하였다.

In this study, CT specimens were prepared from ASTM SA516 Gr. 70 which was used for pressure vessel plates for room and low temperature service. And we got the following characteristics from fatigue crack growth test carried out in the environment of room and low temperature at $25^{\circ}C,\;-60^{\circ}C,\;-80^{\circ}C\;and\;-100^{\circ}C$ and in the range of stress ratio of 0.05 by means of opening mode displacement. At the constant stress ratio, the threshold stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}K_{th}$ in the early stage of fatigue crack growth (Region I) and stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}K$ in the stable of fatigue crack growth (Region II) was increased in proportion to descend temperature. It assumed that the fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at low temperature is considerable higher than that of room temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region. The straight line slope relation of logarithm $d{\alpha}/dN\;-{\Delta}K$ in Region II, that is, the fatigue crack growth exponent m increased with descending temperature at the constant stress ratio. It assumed that the fatigue crack growth rate $d{\alpha}/dN$ is rapid in proportion to descend temperature in Region II and the cryogenic-brittleness greatly affect a material with decreasing temperature.

The fabrication of steel structural members always involves welding process such as flux cored arc welding. Therefore, for the application of structural steels to cold regions, it is a prerequisite to clarify the service temperature of the welded joints in order to ensure the structural integrity of the welded parts. In this study, the Charpy impact test was conducted to evaluate the service temperature of structural steel weld. The Charpy impact test is a commercial quality control test for steels and other alloys used in the construction of metallic structures. The test allows the material properties for service conditions to be determined experimentally in a simple manner with a very low cost. Standard V-notch Charpy specimens were prepared and tested under dynamic loading condition. The service temperatures of the weld metal, HAZ (heat affected zone) and base metal were derived by the absorbed energy and the impact test requirements; thus the applicability of the structural steels to cold regions was discussed in detail.
