Large valves for steam turbines of fossil power plants are exposed to a severe mechanical and thermal loading resulting from steam with high pressure and high temperature. Valve casings are designed to withstand such a loading. During the operation of a plant, temperatures at inner and outer surface of the casings are measured and steam flow is controlled so that the measured difference is lower than the maximum allowable value determined in the design stage. In this paper, a method is presented to calculate the maximum allowable temperature difference at the inner and outer surface of valve casings for steam turbines of fossil power plants. The finite element method is used to analyze distribution of temperature and stresses of a casing under the operating condition. Low cycle fatigue and creep rupture are taken into consideration to determine the maximum allowable temperature difference. The method can be usefully applied in the design stage of the large valves for the steam turbines, contributing to safe and reliable operation of the fossil power plants.

Tensile and low cycle fatigue tests on prior cold worked 3l6L stainless steel were carried out at various temperatures ftom room temperature to 650$^{\circ}C$. Fatigue resistance was decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Cyclic plastic deformation, creep, oxidation and interactions with each other are thought to be responsible for the reduction in fatigue resistance. Currently favored life prediction models were examined and it was found that it is important to select a proper life prediction parameter since stress-strain relation strongly depends on temperature. A phenomenological life prediction model was proposed to account for the influence of temperature on fatigue life and assessed by comparing with experimental result. LCF failure mechanism was investigated by observing fracture surfaces of LCF failed specimens with SEM.

By examining the fatigue deformation properties of 12% Cr rotor steel which has been proved to have high fatigue and creep rupture strength around 600deg. C, authors reviewed major fatigue life prediction models such as Manson, Langer and Morrow equations, and following results were obtained. (1) A simple life prediction model for 12% Cr rotor steel was obtained as follows : DELTA..epsilon.$_{t}$ =2.18+.sigma.$_{u}$ /E+ $N^{-0.065}$+ $e^{0.6}$ $N^{-0.025}$ This equation shows that fatigue life, N, can be easily determined when total strain range, DELTA..epsilon.$_{t}$ and ultimate tensile strength, .sigma.$_{u}$ are known by simple tension test on the given test conditions. (2) Life prediction equation with equivalent maximum stress, DELTA..sigma./2, corresponding maximum strain in one cycle at room temperature is as follows: DELTA..sigma./w=-7.01logN+96.69+96.69

본 논문에서는 임베딩 패키지의 솔더 조인트 신뢰성에 미치는 솔더 조인트의 에이징 효과를 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석을 통해 연구하였다. SAC305 솔더 조인트의 에이징 시간은 0, 60, 180 일이 적용되었고 신뢰성 분석을 위해 패키지 휨, ECS(Equivalent Creep Strain) 및 TSED(Total Strain Energy Density)이 분석되었다. 연구결과에 따르면 임베딩 패키지의 휨이 비임베딩 패키지에 비해 감소하여 임베딩 패키지내 솔더 접합부의 신뢰성이 높을 것으로 예측되었다. 또한, 에이징 시간이 길수록 임베디드 패키지의 휨이 감소하지만 솔더 조인트의 신뢰성 수명도 감소할 것으로 분석되었다.

Since Cr-Mo-V steel has excellent fracture and creep properties at elevated temperature, they are extensively used as steam turbine components such as the turbine rotor. However, the turbine rotor steel used to suffer material degradation during long term service. Therefore, the assessment of the safety and residual life of the turbine rotor is periodically required during service. One of the most convenient techniques for that is the hardness method mainly due to its simplicity and nondestructive characteristics. In this research, six specimens with different aging times of turbine rotor steel were artificially prepared by an isothermal heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C$. The micro Vickers hardnesses of specimens were measured at room temperature. The relationships between the fracture properties and the hardness ratio were investigated. And also an indirect method to evaluate the residual life of degraded turbine rotor was proposed based on the micro Vickers hardness measurement.

The objective of the current study is to characterize the long-term stability and efficacy of a structural adhesive assembly under static load. An apparatus was designed to be used in the Instron tensile test machine that would allow for real time modeling of the failure characteristics of an assembly utilizing a moisture- cure adhesive which was bonded to concrete. A regression model was developed that followed a linear - natural log function which was used to predict the expected life of the assembly. Evaluations at different curing times confirmed the structure was more robust with longer cure durations prior to loading. Finally, the results show that under the conditions the assembly was tested, there was only a small amount of inelastic creep and the regression models demonstrated the potential for a stable structure lasting several decades.

Boiler equipment in power plant is always being operated in harsh conditions and severely exposed to the extreme environment of high temperature. Therefore periodically the state of devices should be checked, diagnosed, and analyzed to ensure the reliability of the equipment. Traditionally, such a diagnosis is based one or two physical properties of the sample taken from the equipment like hardness, microstructure, etc.. However, to enhance the confidence of the diagnosis, it is necessary to synthesize those properties together. This paper is to propose such a synthetic procedure for SA213-T12(1Cr-0.5Mo) which was developed to be used in $565^{\circ}C$ below condition. Creep test and accelerated degradation test were performed simultaneously, and the physical properties such as microstructure, tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, and indentation properties were measured. This paper proposes a method of determining the remaining life by quantitative comparison. It will provide the basis of evaluating life assessment more objective and reliable.

화력발전설비 고온요소의 잔여수명평가는 주로 비파괴검사 및 검사결과의 파괴역학적 해석등으로 행해졌다. 그러나 기존 방법은가동중에는 적용되기 어렵고 급작스런 운전이력에 대한 정량적인 손상을 평가할 수 없었다. 따라서 구조물의 형상, 운전이력 및 재료물성에 근거하여 실시간 수명소비율 및 잔여수명을 평가하는 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고온 증기헤더의 수명을 실시간으로 평가하는 감시시스템 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 고온헤더에 대하여 해석된 온도, 응력, 그린함수를 이용하여 취약부위의 실시간 응력을 계산하고 천이 사이클을 카운트하여 크리프 및, 피로수명을 계산하였다. 본 소프트웨어를 개발함으로써 운전이력에 따른 소비수명을 실시간으로 평가하고 운전정보를 기록하여 향후 운전계획, 보수주기 및 교체시기를 결정하는데 지침이 되도록 하였다.

최근에 국내 화력발전설비도 사용 기간이 30년을 넘게 됨에 따라, 고온설비의 경년열화도 평가 및 수명예측 기술에 대한 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 l965년부터 사용되어 노 후된 영월화력발전소 2호기의 주증기 파이프를 대상으로 실시한 열화도 및 수명평가 결과를 보고하였다. 주증기관의 취약부인 맞대기 용접부, 지류 용접부, Y부 및 T부 등의 용접부에 대해 표면복제법, 경도측정법을 사용하여 수명평가를 실시하였으며, 비파괴 검사에 의해 균열이 탐지된 경우에는 수명평가 컴퓨터 코드를 사용하여 균열성장에 의한 잔여수명을 계산하였다. 또한 파이프 모재의 잔여 수명은 해석적 방법에 의해 정량적으로 잔여수명을 계산한 후, 외경 패출량 측정, 입계부식법 등에 의해 재질 열화도를 정성적으로 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 사용한 기법 이외의 방법을 사용하여 수명평가 정확도를 개선하는 방향에 대한 의견도 제시하였다.
