In this study, an assessment method on creep-fatigue crack initiation and crack growth for a Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel (ASME Grade 91) structure has been developed with an extension of the French RCC-MR A16 procedure. The current A16 guide provides defect assessment procedure for a creep-fatigue crack initiation and crack growth for an austenitic stainless steel, but no guideline is available yet for a Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel which is now widely being adopted for structural materials of future nuclear reactor system as well as ultra super critical (USC) thermal plant. In the present study an assessment method on creep-fatigue crack initiation and crack growth is provided for the FMS (Ferritic-Martensitic Steel) and assessment on the creep-fatigue crack behavior for a structure has been carried out. The assessment results were compared with the observed images from a structural test.

An attempt was made to evaluate the degree of aging degradation in thermally aged 2.25Cr-1Mo steel by electrical resistivity measurement. Artificial aging was performed to simulate the microstructural degradation in 2.25Cr-1Mo steel arising from long time exposure at $540^{\circ}C$. Microstructural parameter (amount of solid solution element), mechanical property (ductile-brittle transition temperature) and electrical resistivity were measured to investigate the mutual relationship among these parameters. Depletion of solid solution element(Mo and Cr) in matrix was detected after aging. The ductile-brittle transition temperature(DBTT) increased rapidly in the initial stage of aging and then saturated afterward. On the other hand, the electrical resistivity decreased rapidly in the beginning and then saturated in the later stage of aging.

이들 기기, 장치는 대부분 철강재가 그 근간을 이루고 있지만, 특히 고온부를 형성하는 부재는 내열용 철강과 합금이다. 강을 모재로 하고 고온에서의 강도유지를 위하여 유용한 소랴의 Cr, Mo 등을 합금시킨 저합금내열강이 1차적으로 사용되어 왔으나 사용조건이 고도화 되면서 이들 합금성분 량이 늘어나 주로 Cr 성분을 증가시킨 고 Cr 페라이트계, 그리고 Ni 성분을 다량으로 첨가한 오스테나이트계 내열강이 제 2차, 제 3차대상이 되어 연구 발전되어 왔다. 그 사용한계는 사용 가스등 환경의 영향과 고온의 크리이프나 피로, 파괴에 대한 저항성등에 크게 좌우되지만, 대개 2.25Cr-1Mo 강의 저합금강에서 $550^{\circ}C$, 9~12% Cr인 페라이트계 내열강에서 $^650{\circ}C$ 까지가 한도이며 그 이상온도에서는 오스테나이트계 내열강이 고려의 대상이 되고 있는 것 같다. 이들 고온부에 사용되는 철강 재료를 중심으로 최근의 동향을 주로 금속학적 입장에서 살펴보기로 한다.

이종재료인 2$\frac{1}{4}$Cr-1Mo강과 12Cr-1Mo-V계 강의 용접부의 용접성에 대하여 모재계열의 용접재료와 Inconel계의 용접재료를 사용하여 야금학적인 관점으로부터 미세조직적 특성 및 기계적성질을 중심으로 검토하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 본 연구의 실험범위에 의하면, 내부결함, 균열 등의 용접결함을 발생하지 않는 양호한 용접부를 얻을 수 가 있었다. (2) 광학현미경을 이용한 미세조직의 관찰에 의하면, Inconel계의 용접재료를 제외한 모재계열의 용접재료를 사용하였을 경우, 용융경계부 근방에서 연속 또는 불연속적인 백색의 밴드상이 형성되었다. (3)백색밴드상의 형성부는 인장변형에 의하여 국부적인 수축변형을 일으키나, 파단은 2$\frac{1}{4}$Cr-1Mo강의 모재에서 발생하였으며, 거시적인 인장성질에는 영향을 미치지 않았다.

The CoCrMo as-built alloys prepared by 3D-printing process are studied on tensile strength, wear resistance, crystal structure and microstructure after complex heat-treatment including HIP. In this study, HIP treatment for removing micropores, ambient heat-treatment for formation of metal carbides, and solution heat-treatment for homogenization of the created metal carbides were tried and characterized for applying to artificial joint. The complex heat-treatment effects of the CoCrMo as-built alloys prepared by 3D-printing process were owing to the densification during HIP, formation of metal carbides and homogenization of the created metal carbides. The effects of the complex heat-treatment were confirmed by XRD, FE-SEM and EDS.

Spherical indentation technique was developed to evaluate the flow properties of metallic materials in carbon steel, stainless steel and alloys, etc. Through the spherical indentation test, differently degraded 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel's mechanical properties were observed and compared with conventional standard test data. The flow properties of 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steels were estimated by analyzing the indentation load-depth curve. To characterize the flow property, we used material yield slope and constraint factor index rather than strain-hardening exponent because the variation of strain-hardening exponent was very little and the data showed irregularly. And the constraint factor's effect was small when the material yield slope was taken into account.

This C-ring test, normally employed for evaluating susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking, was determined to be a suitable small scale test to evaluate PWHT(Post-Weld Heat Treatment) cracking susceptibility. This test is possible to incorporate an actual weld, to introduce a notch into the coarse grained HAZ(Heat Affected Zone), to load the coarse grained HAZ any level of stress ad, most importantly, since the C-ring is an approximately constant strain type test, the stress decreases with time at temperature in a manner similar to that of an actual steel weldment. The procedure employed in making the C-ring was presented in the experimental procedure section, however, several points deserve further discussion. The walls of the weld groove are made along radial lines form the center of th var in order to obtain an HAZ which is oriented perpendicular to the walls of the machined C-ring. Therefore, the plane of maximum stress will be aligned through the HAZ and, therefore, crack propagation will not be forced to deviate form the plane of maximum stress in order to remain in the coarse grained HAZ as is the case with the Y groove test.

Following the method described in ASTM E1737, J resistance curves are measured for Cr-Mo steel SA387, and Cr steel A240 which are used as piping materials in nuclear industry. Crack driving force diagrams are generated in order to find out instability points in crack growth. The $J_{appl}$ curves, which are used in the crack driving force diagram, are obtained from EPRI J estimation method and the finite element analysis. Crack growth instability points are plotted in load-crack length plane and the results are discussed.
