Three different white cast irons alloyed with Cr, V, Mo and W were prepared in order to study their abrasion wear behavior in as-cast and heat-treated conditions. The specimens were produced using a 15㎏-capacity high frequency induction furnace. Melts were super-heated to $1600^{\circ}C$, and poured at $1550^{\circ}C$ into Y-block pepset molds. Three combinations of the alloying elements were selected so as to obtain the different types of carbides : 3%C-10%Cr-5%Mo-5%W(alloy No. 1: $M_7C_3$ and $M_6C$), 3%C -10%V-5%Mo-5%W(alloy No. 2: MC and $M_2C$) and 3%C-17%Cr-3%V(alloy No. 3: $M_7C_3$ only). A scratching type abrasion test was carried out in the states of as-cast(AS), homogenizing(AH), air-hardening(AHF) and tempering(AHFT). First of all, the as-cast specimens were homogenized at $950^{\circ}C$ for 5h under the vacuum atmosphere. Then, they were austenitized at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2h and followed by air-hardening in air. The air-hardened specimens were tempered at $300^{\circ}C$ for 3h. 1 ㎏ load was applied in order to contact the specimen with abrading wheel which was wound by 120 mesh SiC paper. The wear loss of the test piece(dimension: $50{\times}50{\times}5$ mm) was measured after one cycle of wear test and this procedure was repeated up to 8 cycles. In all the specimens, the abrasion wear loss was found to decrease in the order of AH, AS, AHFT and AHF states. Abrasion wear loss was lowest in the alloy No.2 and highest in the alloy No.1 except for the as-cast and homogenized condition in which the alloy No.3 showed the highest abrasion wear loss. The lowest abrasion wear loss of the alloy No.2 could be attributed to the fact that it contained primary and eutectic MC carbides, and eutectic $M_2C$ carbide with extremely high hardness. The matrix of each specimen was fully pearlitic in the as-cast state but it was transformed to martensite, tempered martensite and austenite depending upon the type of heat-treatment. From these results, it becomes clear that MC carbide is a significant phase to improve the abrasion wear resistance.

An investigation was performed to apply the M3/2 grade high speed steel for metal injection molding using both prealloyed and elementally blended powders. The injected samples were subjected to a debinding step in $H_2/N_2$ gas atmosphere at a ratio that affected the carbon content of the material. The carbon content ranged from 1.4wt.% to 1.43wt%. with increasing $H_2$ content up to 80% $H_2$ in $H_2/N_2$ atmosphere for the prealloyed powders. The carbon contents of the elementally blended powders exhibited 1.44wt.% and 1.62wt.% at 10% $H_2/N_2$ and 20% $H_2/N_2$ gas, respectively. This level decreased to 0.17wt.% upon increasing the $H_2$ content. The sintered density of both powders increased rapidly as the temperature reached the liquid phase forming temperature. After forming the liquid phase, the density rapidly increased to the optimum sintering temperature for the prealloyed powders, whereas the density of mixed elemental powders goes up slowly to the optimum sintering temperature. The optimum sintering temperature and density are 126$0^{\circ}C$ and 97.3% for the prealloyed powders and 128$0^{\circ}C$ and 96.9% for the elementally blended powders, respectively. The microstructure of the specimen at the optimum sintering temperature consisted of fine grains with primary carbides of MC and $M_6C$ type for the prealloyed powders. The elementally blended powders exhibited coarse grains with eutectic carbides of MC, $M_2C$ and $M_6C$ type.

The abrasion wear behavior on the hardfacing weld was investigated by performing abrasion wear, hardness, and microstructural tests. The gas metal arc(GMA) weld was produced by using the cored wire which was filled with the hard metal, i.e., the recycled tungsten carbide (WC) reinforced metal matrix composite. For 30% addition of the hard metal, the abrasion wear resistance was significantly improved comparing with that for 20% addition of the hard metal. Above 30% addition of the hard metal, however, there was no significant improvement of the wear resistance. The improvement of the wear resistance was due to the increased amount of eutectic carbides(W$_{6}$C) which was formed during GMA welding. For the weld in which the hard metal was added to 30-40%, an optimum level of abrasion wear resistance was performed.

공구강은 C, Cr, V, Mo, W, Co 및 Si 과 같은 첨가원소를 함유한 복잡한 철계 합금으로 주요 특성인 경도, 부식저항성, 열 연화저항성 그리고 인성의 요구수준에 따라 화학성분이 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 1.0C, 0.2Mn, 3.8Cr, 1.5W, 8.5Co, 9.2Mo, 1.0V 조성의 M42 공구강의 미세조직과 열간가공성에 미치는 Si 함량의 효과를 체계적으로 조사하였다. 진공유도용해를 이용하여 Si 함량을 중량비로 0.33 에서 1.7% 까지 변화시켜 $140{\times}140{\times}330\;mm^{3}$ 크기의 잉곳으로 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조한 잉곳들은 $1150^{\circ}C$에서 1.5시간 동안 용체화처리한 후 노냉하였고, 이어 $1180^{\circ}C$에서 15mm 두께의 판재로 열간압연하였다. 공정 탄화물의 형상 및 분해 거동을 중심으로 미세조직을 관찰한 결과 Si 함량이 증가함에 따라 분해속도가 느려지는 것을 알 수 있었고 이로 인해 열간성형성이 급격히 저하되는 것으로 나타났다.

일방향응고법으로 IN792+Hf 초내열합금의 응고속도에 따른 응고거동의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 조직관찰을 통해 각 상의 응고과정과 석출거동을 분석하였다 일방향응고시 응고속도가 감소하면 문자형의 탄화물은 면상 탄화물로 변화하였고 ${\gamma}$상과 탄화물의 결합은 탄화물의 수지상 성장에 의한 것임을 확인할 수 있었다. 긴 막대형상의 탄화물이 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$/s의 응고속도에서 입계를 따라 형성되었으며 잔류액상지역에서 ${\gamma}$'형성원소가 풍부한 구역과 고갈된 구역이 발견되었다. 공정 ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$'은 형성원소가 풍부한 구역에서 핵생성하였으며 공정 ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$'의 형성은 잔류액상지역의 (Ti+Hf+Ta+W)/Al 비율을 높여 η상의 석출을 유발하였다. 느린 응고속도에서는 잔류액상지역으로부터의 충분한 역확산으로 (Ti+Hf+Ta+W)/Al 비율이 낮아져 η상의 석출이 억제되었다.

The HSS consists of hard carbide and matrix of martensite, and so its characteristics of wear resistance, fracture resistance, and surface roughness are good. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of Nb and V and manufacturing conditions on microstructural behaviors and characteristics in the HSS cylindrical specimens(90 $mm^{O.D.}$ ${\times}$ 60 $mm^{I.D.}$ ${\times}$ 50 $mm^H$) manufactured using VCC(Vertical Centrifugal Casting). In the specimen of Fe-2C-6Cr-1.5W-3Mo-4V alloy, the amount of MC carbide was increased and $M_7C_3$ carbide was decreased with the increase of V and Nb contents. The primary VC carbide was formed and followed by the rod-type eutectic MC carbide was formed in the cell boundary in 9%V added specimen. MC carbide was increased, and $M_7C_3$ carbide was decreased with the addition of Nb content. In the specimen containing more than 3%Nb, primary NbC carbide was formed within the cell of matrix. With increase in rpm, cell and carbides became fine, and amount of carbide $M_7C_3$ was decreased due to increase in cooling rate.

Co base superalloys have been widely used for the parts of gas turbine due to their excellent strength, thermal fatigue, oxidation resistance and weldability at high temperature. In this study, directional solidifications were carried out at various solidification rates, including $0.5{\sim}300{\mu}m/s$ in the Co base superalloy FSX-414. The cellular interface were formed at a low solidification rate, $1{\mu}m/s$, and the dendritic interface was found at higher solidification rates, $5{\sim}300{\mu}m/s$. As the spacing of dendrite structure decreased, the size and spacing of eutectics decreased. Dendrite arm spacing decreased with increasing solidification rates and temperature gradient. It was interesting to find the $M_{23}C_{6}$ eutectic microstructure formed between $\gamma$ dendrites. Composition analysis showed that Cr and W were segregated severely between the dendrites, which resulted in the formation of Cr-rich $M_{23}C_{6}$ and W-rich MC carbides.

Ni기 초내열합금 GTD 111의 미세조직의 변화와 크리프 파단특성에 대해 연구하였다. 조직관찰을 통해 본 합금의 응고거동과 주조 후 응고과정에서 석출거동을 분석하였다. MC탄화물의 생성위치가 $\gamma$/$\gamma$' 상 보다 수지상 중심에서 가까운 것으로 MC탄화물이 $\gamma$/$\gamma$'공정상보다 먼저 응고된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. $\eta$상은 Ti가 많은 $\gamma$'상에서 변태되어 형성되었으며, $\gamma$/$\gamma$'공정상에서 η상으로의 변태에 따라 $\eta$상 근처에 PFZ가 형성되고 PFZ 내부에 TaC가 석출됨을 확인하였다. $871^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서 크리프 파단은 결정입계를 따라 진행되는 것이 명확하였으며, 표면에서 형성된 균열과 내부에서 생성된 균열이 전파, 조합되어 최종파단을 초래하였다. 결정입계 균열의 생성은 최종응시 형성된 미세공동과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, $\eta$상과 PFZ는 균열 생성에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다.
