In most LMFBR(Liquid Metal Fast Breed Reactor) design, the operating temperature is very high and the time-dependent creep and stress-rupture effects become so important in reactor structural design. Therefore, unlike with conventional PWR, the normal operating conditions can be basically dominant design loading because the hold time at elevated temperature condition is so long and enough to result in severe total creep ratcheting strains during total service lifetime. In this paper, elevated temperature design of the conceptually designed baffle annulus regions of KALIMER(Korea Advanced Liquid MEtal Reactor) reactor internal strictures is carried out for normal operating conditions which have the operating temperature 53$0^{\circ}C$ and the total service lifetime of 30 years. For the elevated temperature design of reactor internal structures, the ASME Code Case N-201-4 is used. Using this code, the time-dependent stress limits, the accumulated total inelastic strain during service lifetime, and the creep-fatigue damages are evaluated with the calculation results by the elastic analysis under conservative assumptions. The application procedures of elevated temperature design of the reactor internal structures using ASME Code Case N-201-4 with the elastic analysis method are described step by step in detail. This paper will be useful guide for actual application of elevated temperature design of various reactor types accounting for creep and stress-rupture effects.

The apparent activation energy, the applied stress exponent, and rupture life have been measured from creep experiments over the range of $200^{\circ}C$ to $220^{\circ}C$ and the applied stress range of 64MPa to 94MPa. The materials were used AZ31 magnesium alloys treated by plasma electrolytic oxidation of $20{\mu}m$ and $40{\mu}m$ at surface to investigate the its influence on creep behavior, and creep tests were carried out under constant applied stress and temperature. The experimental results showed that the dipper the thickness of surface treatment the higher the activation energy and stress exponent. And the higher temperature and applied stress, the lower stress exponent and activation energy, respectively. Also the dipper the thickness of surface treatment the longer creep rupture time.

손상된 ASTM A-470 class 8 고압 증기 터어빈 로터강의 수명 연장을 위해 보수 용접이 행하여졌다. SAW 용접부의 미세경도 측정결과 모재의 경도는 VHN 253이었으나 모재에 근접한 열영향부의 경도는 VHN 227로 떨어졌다. 이와 같이 경도가 떨어진 영역을 "연화층"이라 정의하였으며 약 0.5-0.6mm의 크기를 나타내었다. 한편 크립 파단 시험시 파괴는 연화층 부근에서 일어났으며 593.deg. C와 19Ksi(132 Mpa)에서 파단시간은 772.4hr이었다. 연화층의 크기를 줄이기 위해서 MIG 및 TIG 용접이 행하여졌는데 연화층 크기는 MIG의 경우 0.3-0.4mm이고, TIG의 경우에는 입열량의 크기에 따라 0부터 0.4mm의 크기를 나타내었다. 그러나 크립 파단시간은 연화층 크기가 작아질수록 감소하였다. 특히 TIG 용접부의 경우 크립 파단시간은 입열량과 밀접한 관계를 나타내었는데 입열량이 클수록 파단시간은 길어졌다. 대부분의 파괴는 ICHAZ에서 발생되었으나 입열량이 감소함에 따라 파단부는 CGHAZ으로 이동하였다. 파단면은 tearing과 dimple을 갖는 입내파괴를 나타내었다.파괴를 나타내었다.

발전설비 및 자동차의 엔진에서 고온과 응력이 발생하므로 안전을 위하여 제품을 생산하기 전에 재료의 수명설계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 온도, 응력, 파단 시간으로 이루어진 무기력계수를 이용하여 수명설계를 수식화하였다. 통합수명식을 이용하여 SP-Creep 시험 데이터와 계산된 데이터를 비교하였다. SP-Creep 시험은 X20CrMoV121강의 파단시간을 획득하기 위하여 수행하였고 수명설계식을 통해 하중, 온도, 하중-온도가 작용하는 3가지 경우를 고려하였다. 첫째로, 무기력계수는 SP-Creep 시험에서 획득한 파단응력과 시간에 의해 계산하였다. 두 번째로, 온도 조건을 주어 수명을 예상하였다. 세 번째로, 부재는 피로와 크리프가 동시에 작용할 때 커플링 효과 때문에 더 열악한 상태에 놓이게 된다. 수명은 커플링 효과 때문에 현저하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the elevated temperature tensile properties and short-time creep rupture characteristics were investigated for the friction welded joints of dissimilar materials, Cu-1%Cr-0.5%Zr and STS316L. The joining tests on Cu-1%Cr-0.5%Zr/STS316L by friction welding were performed, and optimum joining conditions of the friction welded joints were determined. The characteristics of the elevated temperature tensile strength, hardness, fractographs were examined, and the creep rupture characteristics for the optimum welded joints were investigated under uniaxal static load at 300, 400 and $500^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 탄.소.점성 구성모델을 비교적 간단한 수학적 합성유도방식에 기초하여 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 비등방성 modified Cam-Clay model을 일반응력공간으로 확장시켰으며generalized viscous theory를 단순화하여 각각 소성 및 점성의 구성관계로 활용하였다. Damage 원리를 구성모델에 추가하였으며, 모든 식의 변형 및 개발은 모델정수의 수를 감소시키는 원칙에 입각하여 수행하였다. 개발된 구성모델을 활용하여 점성토의 크리프거동을 예측하였으며 이를 실험결과와 비교분석하였다. 예측된 결과는 크리프파괴의 경우를 포함한 실험결과와 비교적 양호하게 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다.

The boiler tubes and steam Pipes operating both at high temperature and pressure for a long period of time in a power plant are degraded by creep because of internal pressure. So, the remaining life of a component is evaluated by the creep rupture strength. Although the conventional method to evaluate the creep damage is widely used, it has some disadvantages such as requires large size specimen and long employed to evaluate the correlation between fracture toughness and evaluation time. Recently, new method so called "small lunch test' is used to evaluate degradation of creep. In this study, a conventional creep test and a small punch test are conducted using 2.25Cr-1Mo steel which is mainly used for the boiler tubes and steam pipes in power plant. The creep life, approximately 1,500 hrs, is determined by conventional method under a severe condition then specimens for a small Punch test are obtained after certain time intervals such as 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of final rupture time, respectively.

Commercially pure copper is tested to obtain creep curves at 2500C. Constitutive relations adopting continuum damage mechanics concept is found to be appropriate to model the creep defor mation up to the tertiary stage. Microscopic observation by SEM reveals that creep condition induces cavities and microcracks subsequently. The constitutive equations along with evaluated creep parameters are implemented into finite element analysis code. The analysis reproduces creep curves under step loading as well as constant loading with reasonable accuracy. Distribution and evolution of damage under creep loading are numerically simulated for two different types of notched specimen. Predicted creep life agrees quite well with rupture test results. The influence of mesh size at notch tip on rupture time prediction is studied, and a degree of refinement is suggested for the specific notched specimens.

The characteristics of the probability distribution for mechanical properties, e.g. tensile strength, reduction of area ana elongation, for STS304 stainless steel in elevated temperature were investigated from tensile test performed by constant cross head speea controls with 1mm/min, Recently, in order to clarify the strengthening mechanisms at high temperature, a new scheme to improve high temperature mechanical properties is desired. Therefore, the test ,technique development of high temperature creep behaviors for this material is very important. In this paper, the creep praperties and creep life prediction by Larson-Miller parameter method for STS304 stainless steel to be used for other high temperature components were presented at the elevated temperatures of 600, 650 and $700^{\circ}C$.

Recently small punch creep testing (or miniature disc bend creep test) has received much attention through European collaborative research projects. This method was considered as a substitute for the conventional creep rupture testing by which the residual creep life is measured from the specimen taken out from serviced components of high temperature plants. It would be beneficial if the material creep properties such as power law creep constants as well as the creep rupture life can be measured from the small punch creep test. In this paper a method of assessing creep constants from the small punch creep testing is proposed. Finite element analyses were performed to investigate evolution of stress and strain rate at the weakest locations of the small punch creep specimen. Elastic-plastic-secondary creep analyses were carried out. The estimation equations for creep constants by the small punch creep testing are proposed based on the finite analysis results. Small punch creep tests were also performed with 9Cr steel and the accuracy of the proposed equation was verified by the experimental results.
