The mechanical properties of low-pressure die cast (LPDC) A356-T6 automotive road wheels are evaluated and correlated with their corresponding microstructures. In this study, two types of alloy wheels processed using different LPDC gating system are investigated. The yield stress, tensile stress, and elongation values tested at room temperature are correlated with the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) with respect to the gating system, and are also compared with similar studies. The SDAS and precipitates are examined using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The phase information is also investigated using X-ray diffraction. Charpy impact tests are also performed from $-100^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$, and the fracture surfaces are examined using SEM. The impact energy is demonstrated to increase with increasing temperatures without exhibiting specific transition behaviors as in other nonferrous alloys. The fracture toughness is also evaluated using three point bend test with single-edged bend specimens. The obtained fracture toughness values are in good agreement with those in similar studies.

Austenite formation and Low temperatures mechanical properties of HSLA steel of different starting structures have been studied by intercritical annealing(IA). The different starting structures are: ferrite+pearlite(FP1), martensite(M1), cold worked ferrite+pearlite(FP2) and cold worked martensite(M2). In most cases tensile strength and elongation was increased by decreasing the testing temperatures regardless of the IA time. Tensile strength of the cold worked starting structures was higher than that of the non-cold worked starting structures. However not any noticeable difference in elongation was found between two cases. Low temperatures impact properties were affected by the starting structures. Charpy V-notch impact transition temperatures of the M-starting structures were around $-40^{\circ}C$, and those of the FP starting structures were around $-10^{\circ}C$. Impact energy was lower in the cold worked specimens than in the non-cold worked specimens at the same starting structures. DP structure obtained from the M-starting structure has shown superior low temperatures mechanical properties than the DP structure obtained from the FP-starting structure.

It is reported that the toughness and safety margins of the SA106 Gr.C main steam line piping steel is reduced due to dynamic strain aging (DSA) at the reactor operating temperature for Leak-Before-Break (LBB) application. In this study, intercritical annealing in two-phase ($\alpha$+${\gamma}$）region was performed to investigate the possibility of improving the toughness and reducing DSA susceptibility. The manifestations of DSA were still observed in the tensile tests of the annealed specimens. However, the ductility loss caused by DSA was smaller than that in the as-received material. Furthermore, the intercritical annealing was able to increase the Charpy impact toughness by 1.5 times compared to as-received. With the heat treatment, we could obtain microstructural changes such as the cleaner retained ferrite, increased ferrite content and somewhat finer grain size. It is considered that the reduced DSA was induced by cleaner retained ferrite, which in turn resulted in higher impact toughness in addition to the general toughening due to finer grain sizes and increased ferrite content.

This study deals with the effect of austempering temperature and time on the microstructures and mechanical properties of high-carbon nano-bainite steels. Although all the austempered specimens are mainly composed of bainite, martensite, and retained austenite, the specimens which are austempered at lower temperatures contain finer packets of bainite. As the duration for austempering increases, bainite packets are clearly seen due to larger amount of carbon atoms being redistributes into bainite and retained austenite during bainite transformation. As the austempering time increases, the hardness of the specimens gradually decreases as a result of lower martensite volume fraction, and later increases again due to the formation of nano-bainite structure. The Charpy impact test results indicate that the impact toughness of the austempered specimens can be improved if the formation of nano-bainite structure and the transformation induced plasticity effect of retained austenite are optimized at higher austempering temperature.

[ $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ ] laminate composites have been successfully fabricated by alternately stacking $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ powder layer and Nb sheet, followed by hot pressing in a graphite mould. The fabricating parameters were selected as hot press temperatures. The instrumented Charpy impact test was carried out at the room temperature in order to investigate the relationship between impact properties and fabricating temperatures. The interfacial shear strength between $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ and Nb, which is associated with the fabricating temperature and the growth of interfacial reaction layer, is also discussed. The plastic deformation of Nb sheet and the interfacial delamination were macroscopically observed. The $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ laminate composites had the maximum impact value when fabricated at 1623K, accompanying the increase of fracture displacement and crack propagation energy. The interfacial shear strength of $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ laminate composites increased with the growth of interfacial reaction layer, which resulted from the increase of fabricating temperature. there is an appropriate interfacial shear strength for the enhancement of impact value of $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ laminate composites. A large increase of interfacial shear strength restrains the plastic deformation of Nb sheet.

건축물이 고층이 될 수록 고강도 강재의 사용요구가 증대된다. 그러나 고강도 강재는 일반 강재와는 전혀 다른 기계적 특성을 갖고 있다. 고강도 강재를 건축구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 비탄성 영역에서의 거동이 일반 강재와 동등한가를 확인해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국내에서 개발된 SM570TMC 강재를 건축구조용으로 사용하기 위해서 기계적 성질 및 용접부 특성을 평가하였다. 연속항복현상을 보이는 SM570TMC 강재는 판두께가 증대되어도 강도저감이 발생되지 않았으며, 최소 항복강도가 440MPa로 나타났다. 또한 판두께 방향으로 균일한 경도분포를 보였다. -5oC에서의 Charpy 충격값도 충분한 인성을 보였다. 용접성과 관련있는 탄소당량은 기존 건축구조용 강재보다 훨씬 낮았으며, 용접부 특성도 우수하였다.

Laser beam welding process is a relatively new process in comparison with arc welding process, but it is expected to apply widely because of the many advantages, and research and development of that process is being progressed actively for the practical use. the application of this welding process has been restricted due to the high initial investment and the need of precise processing against the material, but cost reduction and thick plate welding in high speed have become practial by recent technological development, and this welding process to not only small parts in automobile, machinery and physicochemical field, but also a large structure and pipe line are being applied. In order to utilize this welding process appropriately to a steel structure, the properties of welding residual stresses and fracture toughness in welded joints are to be investigated for relibilty. On this study, after performing the finite element analysis, thermal and residual stress properties have been examined to the general structural steel (HT50) by laser beam welding. Besides, the property of fracture toughness has been investigated by the Charpy impact test and 3-points bending CTOD test carried out in the range of temperature between $-60^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. From the research results it is revealed that the maximum residual stress appears in the center of plate thickness and the fracture toughness is influenced by strength mis-match.

Recently, many industries have been employing the application of laser beam welding, due to the resulting high welding quality, such as smaller width of melting and heat affective zone, smaller welding deformation, and fine grains of weldment, compared to arc welding. However, in order to appropriately utilize this welding process with steel structure, the characteristics of welding residual stresses and fracture toughness in welded joints are to be investigated for reliability. Therefore, in this study, the mechanical properties of weldments by arc and laser welding are investigated using FEM to confirm the weldability of laser welding to the general structural steel (HT50). The Charpy impact test and 3-points bending CTOD test are carried out in the range of temperatures between $-60^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$, in order to understand the effect on the fracture toughness of weldments. From the research results, it has been found that the maximum residual stress appears at the center of plate thickness, and that the fracture toughness is influenced by strength mis-match.

본 논문은 등온열처리 온도 및 시간에 따른 2.25Cr-1Mo강의 초음파 특성 변화를 조사하였다. Charpy 충격시험과 경도시험이 3종류의 열처리조건을 가지는 각 시편들에 대하여 실시되었다. 종파를 이용한 펄스-에코법이 초음파의 감쇠와 속도 측정에 사용되었다. 연취성천이온도(FATT)는 등온열처리 시간이 길어짐에 따라 증가하였는데, 이는 인성이 감소되고 있음을 의미한다. 등온열처리 시간과 온도의 증가와 함께 종파의 속도 및 초음파의 감쇠계수는 증가하였다.

고온 장시간 사용재의 열화로 인한 파괴인성의 저하를 초음파 방법으로 평가하기 위하여 Cr-Mo-V 강을 실험실에서 인공 열화처리하여 열화로 인한 손상 기구를 규명하고, 열화도에 따른 초음파 파라미터의 변화를 체계적으로 관찰하였다. 초음파 파라미터로서 속도, 감쇠와 보다 최근에 개발된 비선형 음향 파라미터를 사용하였는데, 비선형 음향 파라미터가 가장 민감한 변화를 보였다. 또한 전기비저항 측정 결과와 비교할 때 두 방법 모두 전체적으로 유사한 거동을 보였다. Charpy V-notch 충격시험으로부터 구한 파면양상 천이온도(FATT)와 비선형 파라미터 사이에는 비교적 좋은 상관관계가 성립하였으며, FATT와 파괴인성($K_{IC}$) 사이의 관계식에 근거하여 열화된 발전설비 재료의 파괴인성을 초음파 비선형 파라미터의 측정을 통하여 간접적으로 구할 수 있음을 보였다.
