  • Weldability, especially HAZ cold cracking, weld metal solidification cracking, and HAZ liquation cracking susceptibilities, of ASTM A356 CA6NM martensitic stainless steel casting was investigated and compared with that of 9-12% Cr ferritic steel castings. Irrespective of the Cr and Ni content in the castings, the HAZ maximum hardness increased with an increase of carbon content. CA6NM steel, which has the lowest carbon content, had the lowest HAZ hardness and showed no cold cracking in y-slit cracking tests. CA6NM steel, meanwhile, showed the largest weld metal solidification cracking susceptibility in varestraint tests because of its higher amount of impurity elements, phosphorus, and sulfur. All castings investigated had good high temperature ductility in hot ductility tests and showed little difference in liquation cracking susceptibility.

  • As a cold-weather-concrete construction technique for enhancing the sustainability and improving efficiency of cold-weather construction, the cracking timing, the starting point of deterioration for concrete, due to the shrinkage of the blast furnace slag cement concrete including accelerator was evaluated. As a result, by using blast furnace slag and accelerator, the cracking was developed faster with higher cracking potential under the restrained conditions at constant age and free-shrinkage strain. It can be considered that the results of decreased stress relaxation by creep or increased restraint with increased free-shrinkage strain causes the increased cracking development speed. Hence, it should be considered the necessary of cracking due to the shrinkage when blast furnace slag or accelerator was used for cold-weather construction.

  • We experimentally investigated the effects of thermal aging and cold work on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) initiation time for Alloy 182 welds. The effects of thermal aging and cold work on the PWSCC initiation time of Alloy 182 were modeled based on the plastic energy concept and the PWSCC initiation data of this study and previous reports by considering censored data. Based on the results, it is estimated that the PWSCC resistance of the Alloy 182 weld firstly increases and then decreases with thermal aging time when the applied stress is kept constant.

  • This study investigated the applicability of insulation curing method with double layer bubble sheets to the man concrete subjected to cold weather. Temperature history of the mass concrete indicated that the highest temperature of center section was exhibited at $34^{\circ}C$ while the that of surface section was $25^{\circ}C$. Difference between center and surface was shown to be less $10^{\circ}C$ when the temperature of center section was peak section, and thereby associated temperature cracking index was calculated 1.5, and occurrence probability of temperature cracking was 5%, so there was no temperature cracking caused by internal restraint. No temperature crack was observed by naked eye. It was clear that early frost demage and temperature cracking could be restrained due to reducing temperature difference between inner part and outside in the case double bubble sheets applied to insulation curing method in cold weather. The maturity of mass concrete is higher than outside about $72\sim89^{\circ}$ DD, so it was demonstrated to prevent early frost demage and ensure strength excellently. Insulation curing method with double bubble sheets was more economic than heating curing method.

  • In fabrication of various welded structures made of high strength steels, the occurence of hydrogen assisted cracking and embrittlement in HAZ is prime importance. The present work was carried out to clarify the effect of chemical compositions, especially B and/or Ti addition on the cold cracking susceptibility and HAZ embrittlement in low crabon equivalent steel. Tests results showed that the addtio of optimum boron content in steel with low Pem value i.e., below 0.20 % was the best way to improve the weldability as well as the mechanicla properties of $60kg/mm^2$ grade quenched and tempered high strength steels.

  • 저온균열은, 대한용접학회에서 발간한 '용접.접합용어사전'에 의하면, '용접 후 용접부의 온도가 대체로 $200^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 발생하는 균열을 총칭한다. 경우에 따라서는 실온까지 냉각한 후 일정한 기간이 경과한 후에 발생하기도 하며, 이러한 균열을 지연균열(delayed cracking)이라고 한다'로 되어 있다. 이들 저온균열의 발생에는 주로 구속응력과 경화조직 및 확산성수소가 영향을 미치고 있으며, 그 종류는 위에서 언급한 지연균열 외에 라멜라 테어링, 변형균열, 칭균열형 저온균열 등이 있다. 본 기술강좌에서는 용접부의 저온균열에 대하여 지연균열과 그 외의 저온균열로 나누어 2회에 걸쳐 소개하기로 한다.하기로 한다.
