An irradiation test of a nuclear fuel rod having external and internal tube structure was planned for a performance. To establish fabrication process satisfying the requirements of irradiation test, micro-TIG welding system for fuel rods was developed, and preliminary welding experiments for optimizing process conditions of fuel rod was performed. Fuel rods with 15.9mm diameter and 0.57mm wall thickness of cladding tubes and end caps have been used and optimum conditions of endcap welding have been selected. In this experiment, the qualification test was performed by tensile tests, helium leak inspections, and metallography examinations to qualify the endcap welding procedure. The soundness of the welds quality of a dual cooled fuel rods has been confirmed by mechanical tests and microstructural examinations.

In a manufacturing technique of the sintered filter, pressureless sintering method has good permeability, it is not need the binder and lubricant used on compacting process, so it has little contamination and it is easy to control the pore size and shape but the mechanical strength is low relatively and it is difficult that parts of complicate form are manufactured. In the case of manufacturing the filter by press and sintering method, in order to be satisfactory characteristic of un-pressed filter, in this study sintered metal filter fabricated by using 30-40mesh stainless steel 316L powder and additive agents. Porosity and structure of pores, permeability and mechanical strength of the sintered filter were investigated with the variation sintering conditions. Porosity was nearly constant about $60{\sim}70%$, density, permeability and mechanical strength were changed markedly with quantity of additive materials and sintering conditions.

Vickers hardness is an important material in the design and reliability is required. Therefore, these values are very important as the basic data for design, manufacture and development, and the identification of quantitative probability distribution characteristics such as mean and dispersion is a very important parameter in design. In this study, Vickers hardness was measured after artificially heat-treated in the temperature range 753K, where chrome depletion near the grain boundary occurred for three kinds of stainless steels, and the Vickers hardness were evaluated. From the results, Vickers hardness increased with increasing heat treatment temperature. In Weibull distribution for Vickers hardness, the dispersion of STS310S at 813K and 873K was small, and the dispersion of STS316L at 753K, 933K and 993K was small. Also, STS347H exhibited the lowest dispersion at 753K in three kinds of stainless steels. The scale parameter increased with increasing heat treatment temperature in three kinds of stainless steels.

Sink roll has been used in molten 55%Al-Zn alloy bath of continuous galvanizing line for sinking and stabilizing working steel strip in molten metal bath. In the process, the sink roll body inevitably build up dross compounds and pitting on the sink roll surface during 55%Al-Zn alloy coated strip production, and the life time of the sink roll is shorten by build up dross compounds and pitting. The present study examined the application of thermally sprayed ceramic coatings method on sink roll body for improving erosion resistance at molten 55% Al-Zn pool. In this experiment, the stainless steels such as STS 316L and STS 430F were used as the substrate materials. The CoNiCr and WE-Co powder were selected as bond coating materials. Moreover $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2-SiO_2 and ZrO_2-SiO_2$ powders selected as the top coating materials. Appearances of the specimens before and after dipping to molten 55%Al-Zn pool were compared and analyzed. As a result of this study, STS430F of substrate, WC-Co of bond spray coatings, $ZrO_2-SiO_2$ power of top spray coatings is the best quality in erosion resistance test at molten 55%Al-Zn pool

This study explores the effects of different pre-machining conditions on the deposition characteristics and mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel samples repaired using direct energy deposition (DED). In the DED repair process, defects such as pores and cracks can occur at the interface between the substrate and deposited material. In this study, we varied the shape of the pre-machined zone for repair in order to prevent cracks from occurring at the slope surface. After repairs by the DED process, macro-scale cracks were observed in samples that had been pre-machined with elliptic and trapezoidal grooves. In addition, it was not possible to completely prevent micro-crack generation on the sloped interfaces, even in the capsule-type grooved sample. From observation of the fracture surfaces, it was found that the cracks around the inclined interface were due to a lack of fusion between the substrate and the powder material, which led to low tensile properties. The specimen with the capsule-type groove provided the highest tensile strength and elongation (respective of 46% and 571% compared to the trapezoidal grooved specimen). However, the tensile properties were degraded compared to the non-repaired specimen (as-hot rolled material). The fracture characteristics of the repaired specimens were determined by the cracks at the sloped interfaces. These cracks grew and coalesced with each other to form macro-cracks, they then coalesced with other cracks and propagated to the substrate, causing final fracture.

최근 화학 산업이 발전함에 따라 고압설비가 널리 이용되고 있다. 이러한 고압 설비는 편리성과 함께 많은 위험을 내포하고 있다. 파열판 안전장치는 고압설비의 안전사고로부터 설비와 생명을 보호하는 장치이다. 파열판 안전장치는 홀더, 파열판, 버큠서포트로 구성되어져 있으며, 다양한 환경 조건에서 부식되거나 파괴되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 부식 저항성이 우수하여 파열판 안전장치의 소재로 많이 사용되고 있는 STS 316L stainless steel 소재를 이용해서 제작한 파열판 안전장치를 CATIA V5를 이용하여 3차원 모델링을 수행하고, 유한요소해석을 통하여 소재의 두께와 높이에 따라 파열판 안전장치의 파열에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다.

이중관 벨로우즈는 우수한 성형성과 내식성을 고려하여 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강인 STS 316L 소재를 사용하여 2겹으로 내부 및 외부 벨로우즈를 각각 제작한 후 다양한 조건과 용접 방법을 적용하여 이중관 벨로우즈를 제작한다. 하지만 제품의 성형 또는 사용시 균열이나 파단에 가장 취약한 부분이 용접부이기 때문에 제품의 신뢰성을 획득하기 위하여 각각의 용접부에 대한 미세조직을 관찰하여 결함 발생 여부를 측정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 용접 공정을 거쳐 제작된 벨로우즈의 용접부를 검사하고 미세조직을 분석하여 최적의 용접 조건을 도출하였다. 또한 용접부의 경도 측정을 통해 모재와 용접부 그리고 열영향부 등 용접영역의 기계적 특성을 평가하였다.

전자기력을 이용한 자기연마 공정은 전통적 가공방식으로 버를 제거하기 힘든 비자성체의 소재 및 마이크로 형상의 가진 제품에 활용될 수 있는 새로운 정밀 디버링 방식이다. 그러나 이러한 자기연마법은 자기연마입자를 이용한 기계적 절삭력을 이용하고 있기 때문에 마이크로 단위의 구조물의 형상을 변형시킬 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브-코발트 금속복합체를 이용한 전해-자기복합가공을 STS316 소재의 미세 그루브의 마이크로 디버링공정에 적용하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 자기연마공정을 적용한 공정에서는 공정 후 그루브에 생성된 버는 효율적으로 제거되었으나 그루브 끝단의 형상변화가 두드러지게 관찰되었다. 반면 전해-자기복합가공을 이용한 경우에는 재료제거율이 낮아 그루브 끝단의 형상변화 없이 디버링 공정이 진행됨을 확인하였다.

Graphene was coated on STS 316L by electro spray coating method to improve its properties of corrosion resistance and contact resistance. Exfoliated graphite (graphene) was made of the graphite by chemical treatment. Graphene is distributed using dispersing agent, and STS 316L was coated with diffuse graphene solution by electro spray coating method. The structure of the exfoliated graphite was analyzed using XRD and the coating layer of surface was analyzed by using SEM. Analysis showed that multi-layered graphite structure was destroyed and it was transformed into fine layers graphene structure. And the result of SEM analysis on the surface and the cross section, graphene layer was uniformly formed with 3~5 ${\mu}m$ thickness on the surface of substrate. Corrosion resistance test was applied in the corrosive solution which is similar to the PEM fuel cell stack inside. And interfacial contact resistance test was measured to simulate the internal operating conditions of PEM fuel cell stack. The results of measurements show that stainless steel coated with graphene was improved in corrosion resistance and surface contact resistance than stainless steel without graphene coating layer.

On this study, we researched the in-process monitoring during fiber laser welding as well as on the first paper. On the previous/formal study, we analyzed the change of emission signal on thin plate welding. On this study, however, we analyzed RMS and FFT with emission signals in laser welding on lap joint and butt joint of 8mm-thick 316L stainless steel. As the result, the movement of specific frequency peak was observed according to welding speed changes. Furthermore, frequency peak as a result of FFT on the thick plate welding are much clearer than on the thin plate welding. Therefore, it is expected that the welding parameter changes can be predicted in case of applying FFT to in-process monitoring.
