  • We investigated the influences of cobalt coating deposited by DC electroplating on the ferritic stainless steel, STS 430, as a protective layer on a metallic interconnect for SOFC applications. Cobalt coated STS 430 revealed a uniform and denser-packing oxide surface and a reduced growth rate of $Cr_2O_3$ scales after oxidation at $800^{\circ}C$in air. Cobalt coating layer was oxidized to $CoCo_2O_4$ and Co containing mixed oxide spinels such as $Co_2CrO_4$, $CoCr_2O_4$, and $CoCrFeO_4$. The area specific resistance value of Co coated sample was $0.020\;{\Omega}cm^2$ lower than that of uncoated at $800^{\circ}C$ in air during 500 h. After 1000 h oxidation, cobalt oxide coating layer suppressed chromium outward diffusion.

  • GTA (Gas Tungsten Arc)용접은 불활성 분위기에서 용접이 이루어지기 때문에 타 아크용접법에 비해 용접부 품질이 우수하여 고품질이 요구되는 산업분야에 널리 이용되고 있다. 하지만 스테인리스강으로 pipe를 제조하기 위해 GTA 용접을 적용할 경우, Laser 및 고주파 용접 (HFIW)에 비해 용접부 품질 및 용접속도가 낮기 때문에 pipe를 제조하는 산업에서 적용에 제한을 받고 있다. 하지만, GTA는 laser 혹은 HFIW에 비해 가격이 1/10수준으로 낮고, 용접부 gap tolerance 및 용접면 관리범위가 넓은 장점이 있기 때문에 GTA의 용접속도 및 용접품질을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 스테인리스강 GTA용접 시 용접속도를 향상시키기 위해, 모재의 성분 제어 (합금성분 최적화-Al, S, Se, O등), Flux 도포 기술 (산화물을 용접전에 도포하여 용접속도 향상) 및 혼합보호가스 적용 등이 있다. 스테인리스강 용접 시 보호가스로는 용접부 품질을 확보하기 위해 Ar을 주로 사용하고 있다. 하지만 용입 특성을 향상시키기 위해 아크의 온도를 높일 수 있는 He, 혹은 $H_2$ gas를 단독 혹은 혼합하여 사용하고 있다. 오스테나이트계 스테인리스의 경우 용입특성을 향상시키기 위해 Ar에 $H_2$를 2~10%정도 혼합하여 사용하고 있다. 페라이트계 스테인리스강은 수소에 대한 고용도가 상대적으로 작아 용접부 수소 취화를 일으킬 수 있기 때문에 적용에 제한을 받고 있어 그 대안으로 산소를 극히 소량을 혼합하여 용입성 향상에 대한 연구가 보고 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 페라이트계 스테인리스강의 용입특성을 향상시킬 목적으로 Ar에 산소를 미량 첨가 (1%미만) 하여 용접전류 및 산소 함량에 따른 용입특성의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 기계적인 물성 및 부식특성을 평가하였고, 최종적으로 실용화 가능성을 파악하기 위해 용접전극의 수명 테스트를 실시하였다. 실시한 결과, 산소가 첨가량 증가 할수록 용입특성은 상승하였으며, 기계적인 물성 또한 산소를 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 거의 유사한 값을 얻을 수 있었다, 하지만 산소함량이 증가 할수록 전극의 수명은 감소하여 교체주기가 증가함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 기술을 상용화시키기에는 극복해야할 문제가 있지만, 소재 합금성분 설계 시 용접생산성 향상위한 산소성분 범위를 제시할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

  • The microstructure and hardness of $CO_2$ laser welds were investigated in the Ti-stabilized ferritic stainless steel 409L. The observed specimen was welded in a fully penetrated condition in which the power was 5 kW and the welding speed 5 m/min. The grain structure near the bond line of the laser welds was produced by epitaxial growth. The grain size was the largest in the fusion zone, and HAZ showed nearly the same grain size as that of the base metal. The HAZ microstructure consisted of subgrains and precipitates that were less than 100 nm in size and that were located along the subgrain boundaries. On the other hand, the hardness was the highest in the fusion zone due to the large amount of small precipitates present. These were composed of TiN, Ti(C,N) and $TiO_2$+Ti(C,N). The hardness decreased continuously from the fusion zone of the base metal. The HAZ hardness was slightly greater than that of the base metal due to the existence of subgrains and precipitates in the subgrain boundary.

  • The corrosion characteristics of Cr steels were investigated to protect Cr steels from the SO2-gas corrosion in the coal-fired power plant. The samples tested were low alloy ferritic steel (ASTM T22, 23), martensitic steel (ASTM T91, 92, 122), and austenitic stainless steel (ASTM 347HFG). The corrosion tests were performed between 600oC and 1000oC in Ar + (0.2, 1)%SO2 gas for 100 hr. Chromium was quite beneficial to corrosion resistance, while iron was not. The corrosion resistance increased in the order of T22, T23, T91, T92, T122, and 347HFG.

  • The effects of Cr content and film formation potential on electronic behaviors of the passive film on Fe-Cr alloys were investigated in borate buffer solution. Influence of pH on passive films of both Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Mo alloys was also investigated. Mott-Schottky and cyclic voltammetry techniques were used to elucidate electronic behaviors of passive films and their electrochemical characteristics. AES analysis of passive films was carried out. Results showed that doping density decreased as Cr content and film formation potentials increased. The addition of Mo to Fe-Cr alloy had little influence on donor densities in pH 9.2 solution but some effects on the decrease in donor densities in pH 1.6 acidic solution.

  • Small punch test was performed on CF8 duplex stainless steel aged at 370 and 400$^{\circ}C$ up to 5,000 h to evaluate the degree of the thermal aging embrittlement. At room temperature, the SP load-displacement curve was in a similar shape to those of ferritic steels and had a good reproducibility in spite of two-phase structure. The aging heat treatment resulted in a slight increase of the yield strength. As test temperature was lowered, the SP load showed a sudden drop followed by serrations before the SP specimen was fractured, resulting from the cracking of ferrite phase. The extent of thermal embrittlement was assessed in terms of the SP energy. Aging treatment at higher temperature led to a larger shift in the transition temperature and the corresponding change in the fracture mode. The main cause of the degradation was the embrittlement of ferrite phase. Additionally the phase boundary separation profoundly contributed to the degradation of the specimen aged at 400$^{\circ}C$.

  • It is well known for 410L ferritic stainless steel powder to applicate a sensor ring in anti-lock brake system of automobile, several studies, because of its excellent magnetic properties. This study was carried out to investigate the magnetic properties such as the maximum magnetic induction, coercivity and maximum permeability of the materials with functions of sintering density, time and temperature, and concluded as follows: 1. Sintering under the circumstances of Ar gas and the temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$ for 60min, showed that nitrogen was increased, whereas carbon and oxygen decreased in quantities. 2. Both maximum magnetic induction value of 4700Gauss and permeability of 200 were obtained at the maximum sintering density of $6.89g/cm^2$. Here, the properties showed a linear increasement with increasing the sintering density. 3. Coercivity sharply decreased with incresing the sintering density and reached to 7.6Oe at the maximum sintering density of $6.89g/cm^2$.

  • Recrystallization textures of ferritic stainless steel sheets of STS 430, the crystallographic texture was modified by means of cross rolling and subsequent annealing. The conventional normal rolling led to the formation of {334}<483> in the final recrystallization texture. Cross rolling in the present work was performed by a 45$^{\circ}$rotation of RD around ND. After recrystallization annealing the cross-rolled samples displayed stronger{111}//ND orientations. The cross rolled sample displayed a higher resistance against ridging.

  • Recrystallization textures of ferritic stainless steel sheets of STS 430 were varied by means of different cold rolling procedures. The conventional normal rolling led to the evolution of strong through-thickness texture gradients in the final recrystallization texture, while the cross-rolling led to a decrease in texture gradients. Micro-texture observation by EBSD revealed that the formation of band-like orientation colonies formed close to the center layer was responsible for ridging. Modification of the recrystallization texture and microstructure by cross-rolling destroyed band-like orientation colonies and consequently reduced the ridging height.

  • In nuclear power plants, ferritic low alloy steel components were connected with austenitic stainless steel piping system through alloy 82/182 butt weld. There have been incidents recently where cracking has been observed in the dissimilar metal weld. Alloy 82/182 is susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking. Weld-induced residual stress is main factor for crack growth. Therefore exact estimation of residual stress is important for reliable operating. This paper presents residual stress computation performed by 6" safety & relief nozzle. Based on 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional finite element analyses, effect of welding variables on residual stress variation is estimated for sensitivity analysis.
