  • STS316L had been used as the structural material for energy environmental facilities, because austenite stainless steels like 316L have superior mechanical properties of which toughness, ductility, corrosion resistant and etc. However, those welded structures are receiving severe damage due to increasing of the aged degradation. Most studies until now have been carried out against fatigue behaviors of weldments, and were not well studied on nondestructive evaluation methods. In this study, the fatigue crack propagation behavior of STS316L weldment usually used for vessels of the nuclear power plant was investigated. Also, the degradation characteristics of 316L stainless steel weldments were evaluated by the ultrasonic parameter such as ultrasonic velocity, attenuation factor and time-frequency analysis. The results of this study can be used as a basic data for the prediction of the fatigue crack life of weldments structures without disjointing or stopping service of structures in service.

  • AISI316L강에 저온 프라즈마 침탄과 저온 프라즈마 질화를 연속적으로 실시하여 표면경도와 내식성을 동시에 증가시키는 처리법에서 질화처리 시 처리시간 및 온도에 따른 표면특성변화를 조사하였다. 모든 시편의 표면에 N에 의해 확장된 오스테나이트(${\gamma}_N$)가 형성되었으며, 형성된 ${\gamma}_N$로 인하여 표면경도가 약 $3{\sim}4$배 증가하였다. 처리시간과 온도가 증가함에 따라 ${\gamma}_N$층의 두께와 표면의 N농도가 증가 하였다. 표면처리한 모든 시편은 표면의 N의 영향으로 내식성이 증가 하였다.

  • The cyclic polarisation technique was applied to determine the corrosion, primary-passivation, transpassive, and protection potential of AISI 316L stainless steels immersed in 3550-ppm NaCl solution containing sulfate in the content up to 3000 ppm. The solutions were kept constant at $27^{\circ}C$ and saturated by laboratory air. The solution pH was varied from 3 to 11. Each type of potentials was plotted in function of pH and linked as lines to determine the different zones in the constructed potential-pH diagram. The predominant regimes of the immunity, general corrosion, perfect passivation, imperfect passivation, and pitting corrosion were determined based on those lines of potentials. Comparing to the potential-pH diagram of specimens immersed in the aerated and deaerated 3550-ppm NaCl solutions, the addition of 3000-ppm $Na_2SO_4$ to these solutions increased the overall, perfect and imperfect, passivation regime by shifting the transpassive-potential line to the noble direction. However, it also widened the imperfect passivation area. The addition of $Na_2SO_4$ did not significantly affect the corrosion potential. It was found that the dissolved oxygen tends to negatively shift the transpassive-potential and protection-potential lines at all studied pH. The considerable effect of dissolved oxygen on corrosion and primary-passivation potentials could not be observed.

  • Although type 316 stainless steel is widely used such as in reactors of petrochemical plants and pipes of steam power plants and s attracting attention as potential basic material for the fast breeder reactor structure alloys in nuclear power plants and is attracting attention as potential basic material for the fast breeder reactor structure alloys in nuclear power plants the effect of precipitates which form during the long term exposure at service temperature on creep properties is not known sufficiently. In this study to investigate the creep properties and the influence of prior aging on the microstructure to form precipitates specimens were first solutionized at 113$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes and then aged for different times of 0 hr, 100 hrs, 1000 hrs and 2200 hrs at 75$0^{\circ}C$ After heat treatments tensile tests both at room temperature and $650^{\circ}C$ and constant load creep ruptuere tests were carried out.

  • The reactions between an active metal brazing alloy and interlayers together with the effects of interlayer type on the interfacial microstructure change were investiaged for silicon nitride/stainless steel joint. The bending strengths were measured for joints with Mo, Cu, Ni interlayer type of different thicknesses. It was found that the interlayer with a low yield strength value is effective to improve the bending strength of the Si3N4/stainless steel joint. The maximum joint strength obtained at room temperature for a laminated Cu/Mo interlayer was about 460 MPa. The combined use of Mo and thin Cu layer was found to be effective in enhancing the bending strength for the Si3N4/S.S.316 joint.
