In order to find out the casting conditions of the thin wall stainless steel exhaust manifold for automobile, the melt flow and solidification behavior simulated by the Z-CAST program were evaluated, and experimental casting result on the test casting and exhaust manifold of SSC13 alloy were investigated. From the results of this study, it was shown that the calculated results on fluid flow were in good agreement with practical thin wall test castings under the same casting conditions, as pouring metal is austenitic stainless steel(SSC13) and pouring temperature is 1575, 1630, and $1665^{\circ}C$ respectively. That calculated result with designed thin wall exhaust manifold was predicted filling up into the mold cavity, and practical casting was sound. The solidification simulation was predicted shrinkages at the bosses for original exhaust manifold, and designed it without bosses was predicted no defect. Therefore practical exhaust manifold casting was sound and in good agreement with calculated solidification results.

Melt-quenching of steels leads to various metallographic effects such as refinement of grain size, extension of the solid solubility of carbon and alloying elements, and is expected to improve the mechanical properties of conventional steels. Furthermore, this technique is a useful method for producing sheet directly from liquid state. And it will lend itself to development as a continuous cast process which offers significant savings in energy and product costs. The purpose of this study is to present the microstructures of melt-quenched austenitic stainless steels. As the results of this study, the morphology of melt-quenched microstructure show that the roll contact area is columnar structure, and the free surface area is dendrite structure. As the line speed increases, the ratio of $d_{colunnar}/d_{total}$ increases from 0.12 to 0.60, but the ribbon thickness decreases from $150{\mu}m$ to $30{\mu}m$.

Low-cycle environmental fatigue tests of cast austenitic stainless steel CF8M at the condition of fatigue strain rate 0.04%/sec were conducted at the pressure and temperature, 15MPa, $315^{\circ}C$ of a operating pressurized water reactor. The used test rig was limited to install an extensometer at the gauge length of the cylindrical fatigue specimen inside the small autoclave. So the magnet type LVDT's were used to measure the fatigue displacement at the specimen shoulders inside the high temperature and high pressure water autoclave. However, the displacement and strain measured at the specimen shoulders is different from the one at the gauge length for the geometry and the cyclic strain hardening effect. FEM calculated the displacement and the strain of the gauge length from the data measured at the shoulders. Tensile test properties in elastic and plastic behavior of CF8M material were used in the FEM analysis. A series of low cycle fatigue tests simulating the cyclic strain hardening effect verified that the FEM calculation was well agreed with the simulated tests. The process and method developed in this study would be so useful to produce reliable environmental fatigue curves of CF8M stainless steel in pressurized water reactors.

Low-cycle environmental fatigue tests of cast austenitic stainless steel CF8M at the condition of fatigue strain rate 0.04%/sec were conducted at the pressure and temperature, 15MPa, $315^{\circ}C$ of a operating pressurized water reactor (PWR). The used test rig was limited to install an extensometer at the gauge length of the cylindrical fatigue specimen inside a small autoclave. So the magnet type LVDT#s were used to measure the fatigue displacement at the specimen shoulders inside the high temperature and high pressure water autoclave. However, the displacement and strain measured at the specimen shoulders is different from the one at the gauge length for the geometry and the cyclic strain hardening effect. Displacement of the fatigue specimen gauge length calculated by FEM (finite element method) used to modify the measured displacement and fatigue life at the shoulders. A series of low cycle fatigue life tests in air and PWR conditions simulating the cyclic strain hardening effect verified that the FEM modified fatigue life was well agreed with the simulating test results. The process and method developed in this study for the environmental fatigue test inside the small sized autoclave would be so useful to produce reliable environmental fatigue curves of CF8M stainless steel in pressurized water reactors.

An extensometer system to measure strain and displacement of cylindrical fatigue specimen in a autoclave of high temperature and high pressure environment has been developed by KEPRI. The extensometer reads the displacement caused by fatigue loads at the target length of the specimen installed inside the autoclave. The performance of the extensometer were tested at 15MPa, $315^{\circ}C$ of a operating pressurized water reactor. Two LVDT's of magnet type were connected to the extensometer and used for converting the fatigue displacement to electronic signal. The device is being used for developing environmental fatigue curve of CF8M cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) in the test condition of low cycle and low strain. This paper introduces the background and results of the development.

염화물 환경에서 329LD 린 듀플렉스 스테인리스강과 CF3M 오스테나이트 스테인리스강 주물재의 공식 거동을 조사하였다. CF3M 합금에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 Ni 및 낮은 Mo 함량을 갖는 329LD 합금의 공식 전위, 부동태 영역 및 임계 공식 온도는 상용 CF3M 합금보다 높기 때문에 329LD 합금의 공식 저항성은 CF3M 합금보다 우수하였다. CF3M 합금에 비해 높은 Cr과 Mo 와 중간 정도의 N 함량을 갖는329LD 합금의 공식 저항성이 향상된 이유는 크게 두 가지이다. 첫째, 329LD 합금의 공식 저항 당량지수 (PREN δ+γ) 값이 CF3M 합금보다 높다. 둘째, 329LD 합금의 부동태 영역은 CF3M 합금의 부동태 영역보다 크다. 이는 329LD 합금에 높은 Cr과 낮은 Mo 및 중간 정도의 N 함량을 첨가함으로써 세 원소의 시너지 효과가 부동태 피막의 부동태를 향상시켜 내식성을 증가시키기 때문이다. 공식저항 당량지수에서 N factor 16을 이용하여 계산된 오스테나이트 (γ)의 PREN_γ과 페라이트 (δ) 값의 PREN_δ을 계산한 결과 오스테나이트 (γ)의 PREN_γ 값이 페라이트 (δ)보다 작으므로 329LD 합금의 공식은 γ상에서 선택적으로 시작되어 최종적으로는 γ상에서 δ상으로 전파됨을 확인하였다.
