1974년에 유럽에서 시작된 PISC(Program for the Inspection of Steel Components ; PISC-I, II, III) 수행결과나 1980년대초 실시된 미국의 BWR 원전 배관계통의 입계응력부식균열(IGSCC ; Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracks)검사결과에서 나타난 바와 같이 기존의 규격 요건과 절차에 따른 원자력발전소 기기에 대한 초음파탐상검사는 그 실효성에 많은 문제점이 제기되었다. 따라서, 원전기기의 건전성 및 초음파탐상검사 결과의 신뢰도를 보증하기 위한 각종 연구가 진행되고 여러 방안이 모색되어 왔다. 그 결과, 원전 가동중검사 규격에 "초음파탐상검사자 자격인정 요건"과 "초음파탐상검사 시스템(검사자, 장비 및 절차서)에 대한 기량검증 요건"이 새로이 부가되었다. 본고에서는 초음파탐상검사 결과의 신뢰도 확보에 있어 필수불가결한 요건인 원전기기 초음파 탐상검사 시스템에 대한 기량검증 요건을 자세히 기술한다.

Four kinds of silicon nitride based ceramic materials have been hot pressed. Effect of the sintering additives on the phase transformation, microstructural development and mechanical properties was investigated. While sintering under the same condition a big difference among the microstructures of the specimens, they appeared alike if sintered to have a similiar $\alpha$-$\beta$ phase ratio. The specimen of the stoichiometric $\alpha$-$\beta$ sialon composition showed very limited amount of the intergranular glassy phase and a significant degree of the residual stress. It exhibited almost no strength degradation up to $1300^{\circ}C$, and the strength of the specimen degraded more as its composition deviated from the stoichiometry.

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests were performed for two kinds of commercial silicon nitride balls using 4-Ball rolling contact fatigue life tester under EHL condition (Λ=8.9) and boundary lubrication condition (Λ=0.2). All the test balls were finished up to the dimensional accuracy of Grade 5 defined in KS B 2001 (Steel Balls for Ball Bearings) with a size of 8.731 mm. RCF tests were then conducted under the initial theoretical maximum contact stress 6.63 GPa and the spindle speed 10,000 rpm. All the test balls were not failed until 3.75 $\times$ 107 contact cycles and wear tracks of test balls were not conspicuous under EHL condition (Λ= 8.9). In the operations of low lambda regime (Λ= 0.2), all the test balls were surface damaged and high rolling wear resistance was achievable in fully densified using MgO 1 wt% and HIPed balls. Rolling wear of silicon nitride balls under boundary lubrication condition depend mainly on grain size and intergranular phase content of silicon nitride balls.

A study of treatment effects on laser surface melted Ni-base alloy 600, especially on precipitation behavior ad chemical composition changes on the grain boundary were conducted with microscopic equipments. Long-term aging treatment at 40$0^{\circ}C$ caused no considerable effects on the grain boundary properties. Cr-rich M$_2$$_3$C$_{6}$ and Cr$_{7}$C$_3$ carbides were precipitated and the resultant Cr depletion below 12 wt pct on some high angle grain boundaries was occurred by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. These results can imply that the resistance of intergranular stress corrosion cracking of heat treated alloy 600 might not be changed considerably in comparion with the as-LSM one.e.e.

강내탄도의 다양한 해석 모델에 따른 성능 및 내부 유동을 분석하였다. 항력 모델은 초기 내부 유동 특성에 큰 영향을 미치며 고체추진제의 항력이 작을수록 차압의 진동을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. Nusselt 수 모델은 강내탄도의 주요 성능에 영향을 미치지 않으며 고체추진제의 열전달이 없는 경우에는 역압력이 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The microstructure, electrical properties, and DC-accelerated aging behavior of the Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Y-Er (ZPCC-YE) varistors were investigated for different amounts of erbium oxide ($Er_2O_3$). The microstructure consisted of zinc oxide grain and an intergranular layer ($Pr_6O_{11}$, $Y_2O_3$, and $Er_2O_3$-rich phase) as a secondary phase. The increase of $Er_2O_3$ amount decreased the average grain size and increased the sintered density. As the $Er_2O_3$ amount increased, the breakdown field increased from 5094 V/cm to 6966 V/cm and the nonlinear coefficient increased from 27.8 to 45.1. The ZPCC-YE varistors added with 0.5 to 1.0 mol% $Er_2O_3$ are appropriate for high voltage, with high nonlinearity and stability against DC-accelerated aging stress.

This study proposes the integrity evaluation of bogie frame using ultrasonic waves-fractography analysis. Analysis objectives in this study are to investigate fracture planes of damaged zone by the A-scan method. The surface condition of fracture plane shows degree of degradation by stress concentration. The detection of the natural defects in bogie frame is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. Results of ultrasonic testing agree fairly well with those of actual fracture plane. In quantitative fractography analysis, microstructures of actual fracture plane turned out to be intergranular and transgranular fracture, Proposed ultrasonic-fractography analysis in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame

The use of multi scale modeling concepts and simulation techniques to study the destabilization of an ultrathin layer of oxide interface between a metal substrate and the surrounding environment is considered. Of particular interest are chemo-mechanical behavior of this interface in the context of a molecular-level description of stress corrosion cracking. Motivated by our previous molecular dynamics simulations of unit processes in materials strength and toughness, we examine the challenges of dealing with chemical reactivity on an equal footing with mechanical deformation, (a) understanding electron transfer processes using first-principles methods, (b) modeling cation transport and associated charged defect migration kinetics, and (c) simulation of pit nucleation and intergranular deformation to initiate the breakdown of the oxide interlayer. These problems illustrate a level of multi-scale complexity that would be practically impossible to attack by other means; they also point to a perspective framework that could guide future research in the broad computational science community.

Variations of piezoelectric properties and compressive strength of Sr-doped PZT ceramics were investigated with poling direction. The electro-mechanical coupling constants (k31 and k33) were increased linearly with increasing poling strength. The volume fraction of intergranular fracture also increased with incresing poling strength due to weakening of grain boundaries by domain rearrangement during poling process. The internal stresses induced from the poling at 2.5 kV/mm parallel and perpendicular to the poling direction poled were 405 MPa and 89 MPa, respectively. The compressive strength of the specimen poled parallel to the poling direction was higher than that perpendicular to the poling direction.

The high-temperature strength of Ce-TZP was measured at 200, 650 and 100$0^{\circ}C$ by 4-point bending test. And its fracture behavior was observed by SEM. Below $650^{\circ}C$ of the temperature, where monoclinic fraction was almost zero, the decreasing rate of bending strength was relatively slow, but above this temperature, high temperature strength was largely decreased as a result of the decrease of stress-induced transformation of zirconia. The observation of fracture surface bended at 100$0^{\circ}C$ indicated that the fracture mode changed from intergranular-into transgranular-form with regardless of ceria contents.
