Mechanical properties of HSLA cast steels alloyed with 0.15% Nb, Ti or V were tested as variations of austenizing temperatures and tempering times. The test results are as follows. The hardness of HSLA cast steels austenized for 2hrs at 115$0^{\circ}C$ was shown the highest value regardless of alloying elements and then decreased as the temperature decreased below 110$0^{\circ}C$. The hardness of HSLA cast steels with 0.15% Ti austenized for 2 hrs at $1150^{\circ}C$ was higher than that of any other HSLA cast steels, and chich was mainly attributed to the relatively high amount of bainite, and solid solution hardening. Charpy impact energy of HSLA cast steels was comparable to the C-Mn cast steel except HSLA cast steels with 0.15% Ti austenized at 115$0^{\circ}C$. The hardness of HSLA cast steels austenized for 2 hrs at $1150^{\circ}C$ increased at a ten-minute tempering, and after that, the hardness kept almost sililar level except HSLA cast steels with 0.15% V.

The disappearance of continuous yielding and the formation of an extended region in engineering stress-strain curves at tempering temperatures of 673-873K is closely related to the reduction of mobile dislocations during tempering and dynamic recovery during tensile deformation. In addition, the occurrence of discontinuous yielding at tempering temperature above 923K would be attributed to the formation of new strain-free polygonal ferrite grain.

The effect of tempering temperatures on microstructures and mechanical properties was studied in a low carbon steel. The disappearance of continuous yielding and the formation of an extended region in engineering stress-strain curves at tempering temperatures ranging from 673 to 873K was caused by the reduction of mobile dislocations during tempering and dynamic recovery during tensile deformation. In addition, the occurrence of discontinuous yielding in the sample treated at the tempering temperatures above 923K was attributed to the formation of new strain-free polygonal ferrite grain.

원자로 압력용기강의 품질 열처리인 ？칭과 템퍼링 중간에 페라이트와 오스테나이트가 공존하는 2상영역에서 열처리를 행함으로써 인성을 향상시키는 제조공정을 개발하였다. 710~74$0^{\circ}C$에서 4~8시간 동안 2상영역 열처리를 추가하면 기존 열처리 과정에 비하여 상온 충격인성이 크게 증가하였다. 상온 충격인성과 두께를 고려하여 결정한 최적 조건안 7$25^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 2상영역 열처리를 하면 최대 흡수 에너지가 30~50% 증가하고, 천이 온도가 약 l$0^{\circ}C$ 감소하였다. 2상영역에서 형성된 침상 오스테나이트는 냉각 중에 하부 베이나이트 또는 마르텐사이트로 변태하여 템퍼드 베이나이트와 복합조직을 이루므로 균열진전을 억제하여 충격인성이 향상되었다. 2상영역 열처리 온도가 높거나 시간이 길면 오스테나이트의 체적 분율이 증가하거나 조대화가 일어나 균열진전억제 효과는 저하되었다.

It is useful to use NDE methods to assess the mechanical properties of materials since destructive methods are time-consuming and usually require cutting of sample from the material/component. In the present research, ultrasonic characteristics have been utilized to evaluate changes of mechanical properties due to heat treatment temperature and condition. The attenuation coefficient of ultrasonic wave increased as the heat treatment temperature because the grain size increased in size as the temperature. The attenuation coefficient decreased as the heat treatment has been progressed (quenched, tempered, PWHT). In the case of ultrasonic velocity measurement, velocity difference between quenched and tempered/PWHT was 40 m/s. There was a good relationship between the attenuation coefficient and the toughness. The relationship can be used for the nondestructive evaluation of the forged reactor vessels. Moreover, the method may be effectively used in the field application.

This study was investigated to know the effect of Cu addition on austempered ductile cast iron at various temperatures and times. Test results showed that the volume fraction of retained austenite and the carbon contents of retained austenite showed the greatest value at $400^{\circ}C$. Also, in case of specimens having more Cu contents, the volume fraction of retained austenite and the carbon contents of retained austenite showed the lower value. After austempering treatment, tensile strength and Impact value increased, but elongation decreased. With increasing austempering treatment temperature, tensile strength, elongation, and impact value decreased. In case of specimen having more Cu contents, tensile strength showed the higher value, but elongation showed the lower value. Damping capacity was decreased by austempering treatment and was not affected on austempering temperature and time. In case of specimen having more Cu contents, damping capacity showed the higher value.

This study was undertaken to investigate the corrosive wear charateristics upon various transformation condition of austempered low-alloy ductile cast iron in corrosive environments against mating specimen made of the hardened SM45C. The corrosive wear test was carried out by rubbing the annular surface of two test pieces in distilled water and aqueous solution at constant sliding speed of 0.5m/s. In severe wear region, the corrosive wear rate Wc increased hastily with NaCl concentration owing to intermetallic adhesion but Wc went down slowly in mild wear region due to lubricating effect of the corrosion product. The critical sliding distance decreased with increasing NaCl concentration due to increased generation rate of the corrosion product and the specific corrosive wear rate has maximum in 1% NaCl aqueous solution at mild wear region. With the variation of matrix, the corrosive wear resistance of the fine acicular bainite was higher than that of coarse upper bainite because of reducing the local cell reaction by carbides. A growth in volume fraction of retained austenite in matrix increased the Wc due to soften surface, but has a declining tendency of Wc in mild wear region.
