Due to the need of increasing thermal efficiency, supercritical pressure and temperature have been utilized in power plants. It is well known that 9Cr1Mo steel is suitable fer use in power plants operating at supercritical conditions. Therefore, to ensure the safety and the soundness of the power plant, creep characterization of the steel is important. In this study, the creep characterization of the gCr1Mo steel using small punch creep(SP-Creep) test has been described. The applied load and the central displacement of the specimen in SP-Creep test have been converted to bearing stress and strain of uc, respectively. The converted SP-Creep curves clearly showed the typical three-stage behavior of creep. The steady-state creep rate and the rupture time of the steel logarithmically changed with the bearing stress and satisfied the Power law relationship. Furthermore, the Larson-Miller parameter of the SP-Creep test agreed with that of the tensile creep test. From the comparison with low Cr-Mo steels, the creep characteristics of 9Cr1Mo steel proved to be superior. Thus, it can be confirmed that the 9Cr1Mo steel is suitable for supercritical power plant.

Miniaturized specimen technology is useful to characterize the mechanical behavior when it is difficult to sample the material enough for the test. In this study, two kinds of miniaturized Charpy impact specimens(i.e., miniaturized specimen with side groove and without side groove) of aged 1Cr- lMo-0.25V steel were prepared and tested. The relationship between the extent of degradation in terms of ductile brittle transition temperature(DBTT) and the fracture stress of 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel was established. The fracture stress obtained from miniaturized specimen without side groove turned out to be linearly related with the DBTT of standard specimen. Therefore the fracture toughness of aged turbine rotor steel might be evaluated by the fracture stress. In addition, the correlation between DBTT of standard specimen and that of miniaturized specimen was investigated. As the results of normalizing DBTT by maximum elastic tensile stress, the normalized DBTT of miniaturized specimen without side groove allows one to estimate that of standard specimen.

The effect of the Mo addition on the high temperature creep properties of the 9Cr-3W steel was also evaluated. Two experimental steels, (9Cr-3W and 9Cr-3W-0.5Mo), were prepared using a vacuum induction melting process, followed by hot rolling and heat treatment processes. Three types of precipitates, ($M_{23}C_6$, Nb-rich MX and V-rich MX) were observed in a typical tempered martensitic matrix. Significant effects of the Mo addition on the tensile properties were not observed. However, the creep properties at $650^{\circ}C$ under applied stresses of 140 and 150 MPa were considerably enhanced by the Mo addition. The microstructural observation after the creep test indicated that the addition of Mo could function to retain the recovery of the martensitic matrix, thus resulting in the enhanced creep properties of the 9Cr-3W-0.5Mo steel. Furthermore coarsening of the $M_{23}C_6$ carbides and formation of Laves phases were observed in both samples after the creep tests.

본 연구에서는 프랑스의 RCC-MR A16 절차에 기초하여 Mod.9Cr-1Mo 강(ASME Grade 91) 구조의 크리프-피로 균열 개시 및 성장 평가법을 확장 개발하였다. 현재의 A16 지침은 오스테나이트 스테인리스강에 대해서만 크리프-피로 균열 개시 및 성장 평가법을 제시하고 있지만, 현재 초초임계(USC) 화력발전소는 물론 미래형 원자로 시스템의 구조재료로서 폭넓게 채택되고 있는 Mod.9Cr-1Mo 강에 대한 지침은 제시하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 FMS(페리틱-마르텐사이트강)에 대한 크리프-피로 균열 개시 및 성장 평가법을 제시하고 있고, 구조물에 대한 크리프-피로 균열 거동 평가를 수행하였다. 평가결과는 구조시험을 수행한 결과 얻은 관찰 이미지와 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 항공기 및 고속전철 등 대형 수송기기의 제동디스크에 적용되는 Ni-Cr-Mo-V계 및 Ni-Cr-Mo계 저합금강의 합금 성분 변화에 따른 마모 특성을 평가하였다. 경도시험 결과, C-Mo-V강의 경도는 39.4±0.9HRc로 가장 높았고, Ni-Cr-Mo강이 32.4±0.6HRc로 가장 낮았다. 마찰계수는 수직하중이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 수직하중 1 N에서 Ni-Cr-Mo강의 마찰계수가 0.842, 수직하중 5 N에서 Mn-Cr-V강이 0.696으로 가장 높았다. Ni-Cr-Mo강은 수직하중 1 N에서 마모흔의 폭 711 ㎛, 깊이 8.24 ㎛, 마모량 11 mg, 수직하중 5 N에서 폭 1,017 ㎛, 깊이 19.17 ㎛, 마모량 17 mg으로 가장 큰 마모흔의 폭, 깊이 및 마모량을 보여주었다. 마모기구 분석 결과, 모든 시편에서 패임, 박리 및 응착이 관찰되었고, Ni-Cr-Mo강에서 소성변형이 더 우세하게 관찰되었다.

The present work studies a nondestructive evaluation of the degradation of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel using a magnetic method based on the existence of the peaks of reversible permeability (RP) in the differential magnetization around the coercive force. The apparatus is based on detection of the voltage induced in a coil using a lock-in amplifier tuned to the frequency of the AC perturbing field. Results obtained for the reversible permeability and Vickers hardness on the aged samples showed the peak interval of reversible permeability (PIRP) and Vickers hardness decrease as aging time increased. The correlation between Vickes hardness and the PIRP could be used to evaluate degradation of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel.

In this study, the effects of KCl(s) and K₂SO₄(s) on the oxidation characteristics of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel were investigated for 500 h in 10O₂ + 10CO₂ (vol%) gas environmen at 650 ℃. Oxidation kinetics were characterized by weight gain, oxide layer thickness, and fitted models for the experiment data were proposed. The fitted models presented considerable agreement with the experimental data. The oxide layer was analyzed using the scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The oxidation kinetics of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel with KCl and K₂SO₄ coatings showed significantly different oxidation kinetics. KCl accelerated the oxidation rate very much and had linear oxidation behavior. In contrast, K₂SO₄ had no significant effect, which had parabolic kinetics. The oxide layer was commonly composed of Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄, and FeCr₂O₄ spinel. KCl strongly accelerated the oxidation rates of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel in the high-temperature oxidation environment. Conversely, K₂SO₄ had little effect on the oxidation rates.

Peak interval for reversible permeability is presented for nondestructively evaluating the remanent life of 1Cr-0.5Mo steel. The method to measure the peak interval of reversible permeability is based on the value of reversible permeability is the same as the differential value of the hysteresis loop. The measurement principle is based on the first harmonics voltage induced in a sensing coil using a lock-in amplifier tuned to a frequency of the exciting voltage. Results obtained for the peak interval of reversible permeability and Rockwell hardness on the aged samples decrease as aging time and the Larson-Miller parameter increase. We could estimate the remanent life of 1Cr-0.5Mo steel by using the relationship between the peak interval of reversible permeability and the Larson-Miller parameter, nondestructively.

In this study, mechanical tests and microstructural analyses including TEM analyses with EDX of precipitates in modified 9Cr-1Mo steel were carried out to determine the cause of embrittlement observed after heat-treatment, which limits the usage of the alloy for power plants. Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel specimens at austenite temperature were quenched to the molten salt baths at $760^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$, in which the specimens were kept for 10 min ~ 10 hr with subsequent air-cooling. Impact tests showed that the impact value dropped abruptly when the specimens were kept longer than 30 min at $\sim760^{\circ}C$ reaching to minima in about 1 hr, and then increasing at further retention. The tensile strength of the specimens reached the minimum value without much change afterward, whereas the values of elongation showed the same trend as that of the impact value. The isothermally heat-treated steel at $700^{\circ}C$ also showed a minimum impact value in about 1 hr. These results suggest that the isothermal heattreatment at 760 and $700^{\circ}C$ for about 1 hr induces temporal embrittlement in Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel. The microstructural examination of all the specimens with extraction replica of the carbides revealed that the specimens with temporal embrittlement had $Cr_2C$, indicating that the cause of the embrittlement was the precipitation of the $Cr_2C$. In addition, TEM/EDX results showed that the Fe/Cr ratio was 0.033 to 0.055 for $Cr_2C$, whereas it was 0.48 to 0.75 for $Cr_{23}C_6$, making the distinction of the $Cr_2C$ and $Cr_{23}C_6$ possible even without direct electron diffraction analyses.

Fatigue crack growth behaviors of Cr-Mo steels developed recently for thick-wall pressure vessel were investigated. Experiments in accordance with ASTM E647 standard were performed for 1/2 inch CT specimens of $2^(1/4)$Cr-1Mo and 3Cr-IMo steels in gaseous environments, hydrogen gas of 10 atm, 1 atm and argon gas of 1 atm. Fatigue crack growth rates were observed and effects of gaseous hydrogen and argon on the crack growth behavior were discussed.
