Acicular ${\gamma}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ particles were heated at $90^{\circ}C$ in alkaline solution containing mixed solution of dyadic metal with $Co^{+2}/Fe^{+2}$ ratio of 0.5. When cobalt content was increased, the coercivity of resultant product increased linearly, and surface area decreased. The cobalt ferrite was grown epitaxially on the surface ${\gamma}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ crystal, and the increase of coercivity was attributed to the crystalline magnetic anisotropy of the cobalt ferrite which is conform to coating layer. We can expect superior magnetic properties above normal ratio of 2. The progress of reaction has an effect on coercivity of cobalt ferrite epitaxial iron oxide. The stability of temperature and the change om standin& of $Co-{\gamma}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ was largely influenced by the composition of coating layer.

The present study is to investigate the effect of heat input on the microstructure, tensile properties and toughness of single-pass submerged arc bead-in-groove welds produced on SA508 class 3 steels. The heat input was varied in the range of 1.6, 3.2 and 5.0 kJ/mm. The toughness of weld metals was evaluated by using subsize Charpy V-notch specimens in the temperature range of -19$0^{\circ}C$ to 2$0^{\circ}C$. The weld microstructure and fractography were observed by optical and scanning electron microscopies, respectively. With increasing heat inputs, tensile strength and hardness of weld metals were decreased while elongation was increased. The poor notch toughness at 1.6 kJ/mm was attributed to the formation of ferrite with aligned second phase and banitic microstructure with high yield strength while that at 5.0 kJ/mm was due to the presence of grain boundary and polygonal ferrites. The microstructure of the intermediate energy input welds consisted of a high proportion of acicular ferrite with limited polygonal ferrites, which provide improved notch toughness.

The variation of HAZ toughness with nitrogen content and weld cooling rate was investigated and interpreted in terms of both microstructure and the amount of free nitrogen. The presence of free nitrogen in HAZ was investigated by internal friction measurement and its amount was measured by hydrogen hot extraction analysis. Both nitrogen content and weld cooling rate influenced HAZ microstructure and high toughness was obtained at a mixed microstructure of acicular ferrite, feffite sideplate and polygonal ferrite. If nitrogen content is too low or cooling rate is too fast, bainitic microstructure is obtained and toughness is low. On the other hand, if nitrogen content is too high or cooling rate is too slow, coarse polygonal ferritic microstructure is obtained and toughness is deteriorated again. ill addition to the microstructural change, high nitrogen content also resulted in a large amount of free nitrogen. Therefore, nitrogen content should be kept as low as possible even if the mixed micostructure is obtained. In this experimental condition, the maximum toughness was obtained at 0.006% nitrogen content when weld cooling time ($\Delta$t$_{8}$5/)) is 60s.TEX>5/)) is 60s.

In this study, API-X100 steel pipes were welded with various kinds of welding wires in the laser-arc hybrid welding process. 10kW fiber laser source was combined to MIG arc welding process. API X-100 steel of base metal was of 16.9mm thickness, and butt welding applied. After welding, full penetration weld was acquired by 1-pass welding. A root porosity and the lack of fusion was observed in some welding conditions. By the mixing the melted wire, acicular ferrite, polygonal ferrite, pro-eutectoid, aligned side plate, and bainite structures were observed at the weld metal. From the observation of hybrid weld, unmixed zone had more Ni and Cr. The unmixed zone was a 1/3 area of the weld metal. As the mechanical test of the hybrid welding, tensile test and impact test applied. From the tensile test, all of the welding except SM70S was fractured at the base metal. The result of the impact test at -30 degree C led 60J~320J of the absorbed energy. The result of the low-absorbed energy might be from the coarse equiaxed structures of the weld metal.

The purpose of present investigation is to obtain ductile cast iron with ferrite-bainite matrix by pearlite-bainite transformation treatment. Ductile cast irons having three kinds of Mn ampunt had been manufactured. Mn increased pearlite volume fraction iin as-cast ductile cast iron. Ductile cast irons of different pearlite fraction were austenitized at $875\;^{\circ}C$ for 230-350 sec or $925\;^{\circ}C$ for 130-170 sec followed by austempering at $300\;^{\circ}C$ or $400\;^{\circ}C$ for the various periods of time from 5 to 30 min. When specimen was austenitixed for 130 sec at $925\;^{\circ}C$ and for 230 sec at $875\;^{\circ}C$, pearlite was transformed into austenite. Bainite around graphite was found at $925^{\circ}C$ for 170 sec. Bainite in grain boundary of ferrite was happened at $875^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec. During the austempering process, acicular bainite was precipitated at $300^{\circ}C$ and lath bainite was precipitated at $400^{\circ}C$. Increment in manganese content restrained bainitic transformation. Retained austenie was of little quantity.

In this study, newly developed welding consumables for EGW were welded in EH 36 TM steel plates and their welded joints were evaluated in point of mechanical properties and microstructures compared with imported consumables. Newly developed welding consumables were evaluated as good arc stability and slag fluidity, substantially the same with imported products. The tensile strength of all welded joints were sufficient to meet the requirements specified in a ship’s classification(490~640MPa) and all areas of fracture were heat affected zone(HAZ). Charpy absorbed energy values of all EG welded metals were sufficient to meet the requirements of classification(min. 34J) and those of newly developed wires were evaluated to be better than those of imported wires. As a result observing microstructures of single and tandem EG welded metals through optical and scanning electron microscope (OM&SEM), no grain boundary ferrite(PF(G)) were created in a prior austenite grain boundary and a volume fraction of a fine acicular ferrite were observed very high.

This paper is concerned with effects of Al, Mn and Si contents on spatter, fume, microstructure and mechanical property with 490MPa Grade Flux Core Wire(FCW). Ten kinds of FCW were fabricated by varying Mn, Si and Al contents and each FCW was weld for check the amount of spatter and fume generations, microstructures and mechanical property. Amount of spatter and fume generations was decreased with the increasing Si contents and decreasing by Al contents in FCW. And, their microstructure of weld metal were changed by Mn, Al and Si contents in FCW. With increasing of Al and Si, acicular ferrite was fine and volume fraction of acicula ferrite was increased. Thereby leading to improvement of Charpy impact property and strength.

In this study, the effect of the coiling temperature on the tensile properties of API X70 linepipe steel plates is investigated in terms of the microstructure and related anisotropy. Two coiling temperatures are selected to control the microstructure and tensile properties. The API X70 linepipe steels consist mostly of ferritic microstructures such as polygonal ferrite, acicular ferrite, granular bainite, and pearlite irrespective of the coiling temperature. In order to evaluate the anisotropy in the tensile properties, tensile tests in various directions, in this case 0° (rolling direction), 30°, 45° (diagonal direction), 60°, and 90° (transverse direction) are conducted. As the higher coiling temperature, the larger amount of pearlite is formed, resulting in higher strength and better deformability. The steel has higher ductility and lower strength in the rolling direction than in the transverse direction due to the development of γ-fiber, particularly the {111}<112> texture.

The metallurgical and mechanical characteristics, toughness and corrosion resistance of dissimilar welds between super duplex stainless steel UNS S32750 and carbon steel ASTM A516Gr.70 have been evaluated. Three heat inputs of 21.12, 24.00, 26.88kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with flux cored arc welding(FCAW). Based on microstructural examination, vermicular ferrite was formed in the first layer of weld at low heat input(21.12kJ/cm) and $Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$ of 1.61 while acicular ferrite was formed in last layer of weld at high heat input(26.88kJ/cm) and $Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$ of 1.72. Ferrite percentage in dissimilar welds was lowest in the first layer of weld regardless of heat inputs and it gradually increased in the second and third layers of weld. Heat affected zone showed higher hardness than the weld metal although reheated zone showed lower hardness than weld metal due to the formation of secondary austenite. Tensile strengths of dissimilar welds increased with heat input and there was 100MPa difference. The corrosion test by ferric chloride solution showed that carbon steel had poor corrosion resistance and pitting corrosion occurred in the first layer(root pass) of weld due to the presence of reheated zone where secondary austenite was formed. The salt spray test of carbon steel showed that the surface only corroded but the amount of weight loss was extremely low.
