409L 페라이트강은 스테인레스강내 Ti을 첨가함으로써 내식성이 우수한 자동차 배기계 부품용으로 개발된 강이다. 그러나 Ti 첨가시 용존산소 및 질소와의 반응 생성물에 의해 용강의 주조성, 표면품질, 등축정율 저하등 조업 및 품질문제를 발생시킨다. 한편 용강의 응고시 생성되는 미세 질화물은 주편의 등축정율을 높혀, 주편의 가공성 및 최종제품의 품질을 향상시키는 것으로 알려져있다. 따라서 스테인레스 용강중 Ti의 반응 생성물 제어는 매우 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 고 Cr 함유 스테인레스 용강내 Ti의 열역학적 거동과 타 원소와의 상호작용계수를 측정하여야 한다.

The effect of the solution & aging treatment on the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area, hardness was studied in the 17-4 PH stainless steel. SEM pictures were also taken in order to examine the fracture surfaces and precipitated particles. X-ray diffraction patterns for the heat treated samples were also observed. Mechanical properties of the heat treated samples were superior to those of as cast samples. Tensile strength, yield strength, hardeness decreased with the increase of aging temperature. On the other hand, elongation and reduction of area increased as the aging temperature increased.

의료용 고속 에어터빈 핸드피스는 주로 치과에서 치아 절삭 및 치료에 사용하는 도구로써 치의학 분야에서 가장 폭넓게 사용되는 의료장비 중 하나이다. 핸드피스용 소재는 황동 혹은 스테인레스 강이 주로 사용되었으나, 최근 고내식성, 인체친화성이 높은 티타늄을 사용한 가벼운 재질의 핸드피스 제품들이 개발되어 독일 및 일본을 중심으로 출시되고 있다. 티타늄으로 제조되는 부분은 헤드와 바디로써, 본 연구에서는 에어터빈의 케이스에 해당하는 헤드부 제조에 있어서 정밀주조 공정 적용의 타당성을 조사하였다. 티타늄은 특히 용융점이 높고 유동성이 좋지 않을 뿐만 아니라 주형과의 반응성이 높기 때문에 주조 시 제품 내/외 부에 결함발생 빈도가 높다. 이와 같은 주조결함 제어를 위하여 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 ProCASTTM을 사용하여 핸드피스 헤드 제조 시 유동 및 응고해석을 수행하였다. 또한 헤드 부 형상에 따른 주조성을 조사하여 이를 바탕으로 최적 주조방안 도출을 위한 정밀주조 공정해석 연구를 수행하였다.

주조 스테인레스강으로 제작된 원자로 냉각재배관은 고온에서 장기간 운전됨에 따라 열취화의 영향을 받을 수 있다. 장기간의 열취화는 재료의 연성 및 파괴인성을 저하시킬 수 있으며, 배관에 균열이 존재하는 경우 건전성을 위협할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 원전수명연장을 위한 타당성 검토 측면에서 Chopra의 방법 등을 이용한 원자로 냉각재배관의 열취화 평가 및 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 원자로 냉각재배관의 열취화 수준을 정량화하였고, 건전성 평가에 활용될 수 있는 J$_{IC}$ 값을 예측하였으며, 열취화에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자를 도출하였다.

Austenitic stainless steel castings using expandable polystylene(referred to hereafter as EPS) patterns are often affected by distinctive defects associated with incomplete decomposition of the EPS as the molds are filled with metal. The quality of the castings, with particular reference to carbon pick-up in austenitic stainless steel is further influenced to a significant extent by such factors as reduced pressure, the additive by adding $Na_2CO_3$ in coating. The steel composition and microstructure were examined at the surface layer of castings, at depths of 1mm, by taking successive layers of swarf and analysis. In experiments, the carburizing atmosphere was neutralized, showing that the coating performed efficiently by decomposing almost instantly on heating and liberating $CO_2$. The upper parts of castings obtained using EPS patterns were slightly higher in carbon pick-up than other parts. Comparing the 316L and 304 stainless steel castings, qualitative and quantative differences could be found between the carbon pick-up behaviours as influence of the carbon content and alloying elements. Carbide former such as Cr makes carbon more soluble in the steel. This must make carbon pick-up in the surface layer but at the same time richer in carbon especially in the 304 stainless steel castings.

Recently an increase in production cost of 300 series stainless steel with a sudden increase in nickel cost has caused a decrease in demand for 300 series stainless steel so that 400 series stainless steel has begun to make a mark. Although 400 series stainless steel has good properties, it has a problem of lack of corrosion resistance. There is Ti in 400 series stainless steel alloys to solve the problem above and it has lower density than the others. For that reason, wire feeding process has been applied for adding Ti alloy in 400 series stainless steel. This paper presents consideration of variation on the depth of wire dissolution by conditions of wire feeding which are wire injection speed, the temperature of molten steel, wire diameter and bubble generation rate. The computer program for solution of conducting wire feeding has been developed in Flow3D.

A thermal aging is observed in a primary reactor cooling system(RCS) made of a casting stainless steel when the RCS is exposed for long period at the reactor operating temperature, 290~3300C An investigation of effects of thermal aging on a low cycle fatigue characteristics included a stress variations caused by a reactor operation and trip, is required. The purpose of the present investigation is to find an effect of a thermal aging of the CF8M on a low cycle fatigue life. The specimen of CF8M are prepared by an artificially accelerated aging technique holding 300 and 1800hr at 4300C respectively. The low cycle fatigue tests for the virgin and two aged specimens are performed at the room temperature for various strain amplitudes($\varepsilon$ta), 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5% strain. Through the experiment, it is found that the fatigue life is rapidly reduced with an creasing of the aging time. The experimental fatigue life estimation formulas between the virgin and two aged specimen are obtained and are proposed to a analysis purpose.

This paper reports the effect of a refractory crucible type on the microstructure of duplex stainless steel (DSS) cast with the addition of gadolinium using air-induction melting. Grade 4A DSSs with 1 wt% of gadolinium (Gd) were fabricated in various crucibles including alumina ($Al_2O_3$), magnesia (MgO), calcia (CaO) coated with yttria ($Y_2O_3$) and graphite. The standard free energies of the formation of calcium and yttrium oxide were lower than those of gadolinium oxide and other crucible elements based oxide. The yield of Gd in DSS using $Al_2O_3$, MgO, CaO-coated $Y_2O_3$ and graphite was 5, 19, 83 and 96%, respectively. As Gd yield increased, the amount of Gd-based inclusions increased, the size of the inclusions were reduced, and the inclusions became evenly distributed.

A Study on microstructure and elevated temperature strength of 18Cr-2Mo ferritic stainless steel castings strengthened by alloying small amounts of titanium and carbon, has been conducted. The morphology of titanium carbides showed spherical in shape and their distribution depended on the amount of alloying elements. Maximum density ($7{\times}10^5/cm^2$) of titanium carbides has been formed in the alloy containing 2.0 wt.% titanium and 0.5 wt.% carbon as alloying elements and the size of carbide particles is in the range of 0.5 to $3.0\;{\mu}m$. High temperature tensile and fatigue strength of this alloy were the highest among the alloys tested in this research. The fracture mode of the alloys containing alloying elements less that 2.0 wt.% titanium and 0.5 wt.% carbon showed intercrystalline fracture at room temperature, while the alloys containing higher amounts of alloying elements showed transcrystalline fracture. All of the alloys showed creep or ductile rupture mode at elevated temperature.
