For the phase boundary crack found in the gasket made of cast austenitic stainless steel in the nuclear power plant, the oxide layers were analyzed through SEM and TEM. The results showed that cracks initiated and propagated along the austenite/δ-ferrite phase boundary, the propagation path was changed to penetrate the inside of the phase. The oxide layer located at the periphery of the crack along the phase boundary was identified as a complex multi-layered spinel structure, and Cr-rich carbides were also detected in the oxide. The cracks that propagated inside the austenite matrix were attributed to the presence of high external stresses and impurities.

Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is world-widely used process in the automotive industry as a method to provide wear resistance coatings for engine cylinder bore, using various materials. The weight of engine blocks can be considerably decreased by removing cast iron liners, which can finally result in the improvement of fuel efficiency. In this study, five kinds of powder materials, 1.2C steel powder and 1.2C steel powder mixed with 5, 10, 15, 20 wt.%. molybdenum powder, were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying in order to investigate the effect of molybdenum on the wear resistance of coatings. Microstructural analysis showed that molybdenum splats were well distributed in 1.2C steel matrix with intimate bonding. The molybdenum added coatings showed better tribological properties than 1.2C steel coating. However, above the 15 wt.%. blending fraction, wear resistance was somewhat degraded with poor roughness of worn surface due to the brittle fracture occurred in molybdenum splats. Consequently, compared to conventional liner material, gray cast iron, 10 wt. pct. molybdenum blended 1.2C steel coating showed much better tribological properties and therefore it looks very feasible to replace gray cast iron liner.

With the aim to put forward the analytical model for calculating the shear capacity of precast steel reinforced concrete (PSRC) beams, a static test on two full-scale PSRC specimens was conducted under four-point loading, and the failure modes and strain developments of the specimens were critically investigated. Based on the test results, a modified truss-arch model was proposed to analyze the shear mechanisms of PSRC and cast-in-place SRC beams. In the proposed model, the overall shear capacity of PSRC and cast-in-place SRC beams can be obtained by combining the shear capacity of encased steel shape with web concrete determined by modified Nakamura and Narita model and the shear capacity of reinforced concrete part determined by compatible truss-arch model which can consider both the contributions of concrete and stirrups to shear capacity in the truss action as well as the contribution of arch action through compatibility of deformation. Finally, the proposed model is compared with other models from JGJ 138 and AISC 360 using the available SRC beam test data consisting of 75 shear-critical PSRC and SRC beams. The results indicate that the proposed model can improve the accuracy of shear capacity predictions for shear-critical PSRC and cast-in-place SRC beams, and relatively conservative results can be obtained by the models from JGJ 138 and AISC 360.

For reducing construction cost, two-plate-girder bridges are getting popular in Japan. This type of bridge employs a PC slab, which is often cast-in-place. In such a case, concrete is not usually cast over the whole slab at one time: some portions are constructed earlier than the rest. Therefore, a construction joint is inevitably created. Due to the drying shrinkage of concrete, tension stress may occur in concrete slab. High tensile stress can be expected near the construction joint where concretes with different ages meet. Moreover, prestressing is not applied over the whole length of slab at one time. This may also serve as a source of tensile stress in the slab. Thus there is a chance that cast-in-place PC slab, especially near the construction joint, may be subjected to tensile cracking. In the present study, stress states near the construction joint in the cast-in-place PC slab of a two-plate-girder bridge are investigated numerically. The finite element method is employed and the three-dimensional analysis is conducted to see the influence of dry shrinkage and prestressing. The stress states in the PC slab thus obtained are discussed. The simplified model of a plate girder for this class of analysis is also proposed.

Kkonmoe relic located in Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do Provinceis an example of the wide chronology from the Three Kingdoms Period to Joseon Dynasty. Examinations on a forged iron ax, a cast iron ax and an iron sickle excavated from this relic revealed the microstructure structure of the metal and the manufacturing technologies. Microstructure investigation was carried out with a metallurgical microscope and a Vickers hardness tester was used to measure the hardness of the micro structures. The test results show that the forged iron ax has a ferrite and pearlitestructure. It is made of low carbon steel and then carbonized to increase carbon content. After carbonization, the surface grains are reworked and the surface decarbonized. In case of the iron sickle, it is forged from low carbon steel, then carbonized and hardened, to increase overall strength. The sickle blade is carbonized and quenched after forging, resulting in afirm, solid blade. Heat treatment to remove brittleness is not applied to the cast ironartifact, which is manufactured by solidifing hypo-eutectic cast iron with a3-4% carbon content and white cast iron. All artifacts are produced from steel and subjected to a carbonization process. To increase hardness of the blade, additional heat treatment is applied.

In this study, we investigate the effects of austempering heat treatment on the processing window and mechanical properties in cast and hot-rolled Fe-0.7 C-2.3 Si-0.3 Mn steel. Each specimens were austenitised at $900^{\circ}C$ for 7 min, and austempered at $260^{\circ}C,\;320^{\circ}C$, and $380^{\circ}C$ for the various periods of time from 2 min to 240 min. After heat treatment, the evaluation of stage I and stage II as performed by optical metallography, XRD, hardness test. Both cast and hot rolled specimens had similar processing window. So grain size effect is not important to the austempered high carbon high silicon cast steel. When the austempering temperature was $260^{\circ}C$, the microstructure consisted of the lower ausferrite while the upper ausferrite structure was formed at $380^{\circ}C$. As the austempering temperature increases from 260 to $380^{\circ}C$, the strength and hardness decreased, elongaton and volume fraction of austenite increased. In addition, there was no change of mechanical properties between cast and hot-rolled specimens.

본 연구에서는 망간강을 소재로 하는 부품의 수명향상을 위해 망간강에 Ti의 첨가량을 변화하여 망간강을 주조하였으며, 주조한 소재의 특성을 확인하기 위하여 인장 및 표면 특성 그리고 베어링률 등 가공특성에 대해 조사하였다. 고망간강에 Ti 첨가 시 0.5%를 초과 시 결정립 미세화로 인한 합금의 강도가 향상되었으며 내부에 미세 탄화물이 형성시킴으로써 Mn만 첨가된 합금에 비해 표면의 마모에 대한 저항성을 높이는 결과를 나타냄을 확인하였다. 망간강에서 Ti의 함유량이 증가함으로 인해 인장강도가 증가함에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 마모성의 부분에서는 Ti이 Mn에 비해 마모성에는 미량이지만 더 큰 영향을 끼치며 Ti의 함량에 따라 탄화물의 크기 및 분포가 조대하고 균일하게 분포하였다. 망간강을 소재로 하는 부품의 수명향상을 위해 망간강에 Ti 첨가함으로써 강도 및 표면특성을 향상시킬수 있음을 확인하였다. Ti이 수지상정 결정립의 미세화로 인한 내마모성이 우수한 재질을 개발하는데 효과있음을 알 수 있었다. Ti가 첨가된 샘플에서 탄화물은 표면 거칠기에 대한 내성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며 Mn강의 특성상 표면경화가 일어나기 시작하여 수명이 연장되는 것으로 보인다.

기존의 주각부는 보강을 위하여 주각부의 가공에 많은 인력과 시간이 필요하게 되며 용접부가 과다하게 되어 베이스 플레이트에 변형이 발생하여 현장 설치시 앵커볼트와의 조립이 어려운 점등의 문제가 있다. 또한 상부구조의 응력분포와 변형 등을 평가하는 것에 있어서 중요한 의미를 가지는 주각의 고정도는 베이스플레이트의 강성부족, 앵커볼트의 느슨함, 베이스플레이트 하면(下面) 모르타르의 충진불량 등에 의해서 실제 해석상의 완전고정보다는 고정도가 저하된다. 본 연구는 기존의 주각구성 방법을 개선하기 위해 응력의 분포에 따라 베이스 플레이트의 두께조절이 가능한 주강(鑄鋼)을 사용하여 베이스플레이트의 강성을 크게하고, 주각부를 보다 간편하게 구성할 수 있는 방법을 도입하였다. 이러한 주각구성법은 철판을 절단하여 용접하는 기존의 형식을 탈피하여 주각부의 베이스플레이트를 응력의 분포에 맞춰 그 두께를 조절할 수 있는 주강제품으로 제작함으로써 주각부의 가공 및 용접량을 최대한 줄이고 베이스플레이트의 강성을 증대시키며, 응력의 흐름도 명확하게 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 시공의 간편성, 품질의 향상을 도모하는 것에 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 주강제 주각부의 개발을 위하여, 기존 주각부와 주강제 주각부에 대한 실험체를 제작하여 반복가력 시험을 통하여 내력과 강성을 파악하고, 피로 시험을 통하여 장기적인 사용성을 확인하였다. 이상의 실험을 통해 주강제 주각부와 기존의 주각부의 구조적 성능을 비교하였을 때 내력과 강성면에서 동등한 성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 사용하중의 반복가력 평가에서도 주강제 주각부가 안정적인 거동을 하는 것으로 평가되었다.

A new kind of partially precast or prefabricated castellated steel reinforced concrete beam, which is abbreviated here as CPSRC beam, was presented and introduced in this paper. This kind of CPSRC beam is composed of a precast outer-part and a cast-in-place inner-part. The precast outer-part is composed of an encased castellated steel shape, reinforcement bars and high performance concrete. The cast-in-place inner-part is made of common strength concrete, and is casted with the floor slabs simultaneously. In order to investigate the shear performance of the CPSRC beam, experiments of six CPSRC T-beam specimens, together with experiments of one cast-in-place SRC control T-beam specimen were conducted. All the specimens were subjected to sagging bending moment (or positive moment). In the tests, the influence of casting different strength of concrete in the cross section on the shear performance of the PPSRC beam was firstly emphasized, and the effect of the shear span-to-depth ratio on that were also especially taken into account too. During the tests, the shear force-deflection curves were recorded, while the strains of concrete, the steel shapes as well as the reinforcement stirrups at the shear zone of the specimens were also measured, and the crack propagation pattern together with the failure pattern was as well observed in detail. Based on the test results, the shear failure mechanism was clearly revealed, and the effect of the concrete strength and shear span-to-depth ratios were investigated. The shear capacity of such kind of CPSRC was furthermore discussed, and the influences of the holes on the steel shape on the shear performance were particularly analyzed.
