The surface phase changes, the hardness variations, the nitrogen contents and the corrosion resistances of 17-4 PH stainless steel have been investigated after nitrogen permeation(solution nitriding) at a temperature ranges from $1050^{\circ}C$ to $1150^{\circ}C$ The phases appeared at the nitrogen-permeated surface layer were shown to martensite plus austenite and austenite, depending on the variation of nitrogen and chromium contents. And the surface hardness was also depended on the phases appeared at the surface layer from 370 Hv to 220 Hv. The precipitates exhibited at the nitrogen-permeated surface layer were niobium nitride, niobium chromium nitride and carbo-nitride in the austenite and martensite matrices. The surface nitrogen contents were followed by the Cr contents of the surface layers, representing 0.55% at the temperatures of $1050^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$ respectively, and 0.96% at $1100^{\circ}C$ at the distances of $60{\mu}m$ from the outmost surface. From the comparison of the corrosion resistances between nitrogen-permeated and solution-annealed steels, nitrogen permeation remarkably improved the corrosion resistance in the solution of 1 N $H_2SO_4$ due to the increase of nitrogen content in the surface austenite phase.

Damping capacity of SMA damping devices is simulated numerically under distinct geometry and loading conditions. Two-dimensional numerical simulations are performed on the basis of a phenomenological model of dynamics of martensite-austenite phase boundaries. Results of the simulations predict the time delay and the value of the stress transferred to other parts of a construction by a damper device.

The effects of Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) and Annealed Martensite (AM) heat treatment on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated for 0.24C-0.5Si-1.5Mn-1Al steels. The Q&P steels were annealed at a single phase ($\gamma$) or a dual phase (${\gamma}+{\alpha}$), followed by quenching to a temperature between $M_s$ and $M_f$. Then, enriching carbon was conducted to stabilize the austenite through the partitioning, followed by water quenching. The AM steels were intercritically annealed at a dual phase (${\gamma}+{\alpha}$) temperature and austempered at $M_s$ and $M_s{\pm}50^{\circ}C$, followed by cooling in oil quenching. The dual phase Q&P steels showed lower tensile strength and yieldyield strength than those of the single phase Q&P steels, and tThe elongation for the dual phase Q&P steel was partitioning 100s higher than that of that for the single phase Q&P steels as the partitioning time was less than 100s up to partitioning 100s. For AM steels, the tensile/yield strength decreased and the total elongation increased as the austempering temperature increased. The stability of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for Q&P steels and the volume fraction of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for AM steels.

본 실험은 페라이트-베이나이트-마르텐사이트로 되는 삼상조직강의 기계적성질과 조직특성과의 관계를 연구하고저 하였다. 이를 위하여 서로 다른 열처리경로를 택하여 페라이트+마르텐사이트에(DP), 페라이트+베이나이트(F+B)의 이상조직강과 페라이트+마르텐사이트에 연질의 베이나이트를 함유시킨 삼상조직강(TP)을 제작하였다. 이들 이상조직강가 삼상조직강의 인장특성, 충격특성 및 stretch-flangeability를 측정하여 각각의 조직구성과 상호연관지어 금속조직학적으로 연구, 조사하였다. 실험결과, TP강의 경우 베이나이트 부피분율의 증가에 따라서 인장강도와 항복강도는 감소하나, 단면수축율 및 강도-연성 조합은 증가하였고, 페라이트와 베이나이트로 구성된 F+B강에서는 항복현상과 높은 항복비를 보였다. 충격특성은 DP강보다 TP, F+B강에서 향상된 충격에너지값을 얻을 수 있었고, hole expanding limit($\lambda$)시험에서도 DP강보다는 TP, F+B강이 우수한 $\lambda$값을 나타내었다. 이와같은 기계적성질의 향상은 베이나이트의 영향에 의한 결과로서, 이는 경질의 마르텐사이트보다는 연질의 베이나이트ㅏ 페라이트기지와 함께 쉽게 변형이 일어나 연성의 증가에 보다 크게 작용하였기 때문이라 생각한다. 본실험의 경우 27%범위의 베이나이트를 함유하는 삼상조직강에서 좋은 기계적 성질과 우수한 stretch-flangeability를 보였다.

본 연구에서는 유정용 강관의 열처리 조건 및 합금원소(B, Ti)에 따른 미세조직 및 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 실험에는 J55, J55+B,Ti 강재를 사용하였고, 열처리 조건은 각각 오스테나이트 처리온도 ($880^{\circ}C$, $910^{\circ}C$, $940^{\circ}C$), 냉각방식 (수냉, 유냉), 템퍼링 온도 (미실시, $550^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$) 이다. 열처리 조건에 따라 얻어지는 미세조직을 예측하기 위해 J55, J55+B,Ti 강재의 화학적 성분을 기준으로 평형상태도와 CCT 곡선을 예측하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 평형상태도는 A1, A3 온도가 약 $20^{\circ}C$ 감소하였고, CCT 곡선은 B, Ti이 첨가됨에 따라 ferrite와 bainite nose 부분이 오른쪽으로 이동하였다. J55, J55+B,Ti 강재의 CCT 곡선을 기준으로 냉각속도에 따른 martensite, bainite, ferrite등 예상되는 미세조직을 예측하였고, J55 강재의 미세조직 예측값은 실제 실험값과 유사한 양상을 나타내었지만. J55+B,Ti 강재의 예측값은 실제 실험값과는 차이가 있었다. 열처리 조건이 변화됨에 따라 martensite, bainite, ferrite 등 다양한 조직이 생성되었으며, 이는 경도, 강도 및 연신율에 밀접한 영향을 미쳤다. J55시편의 수냉의 경우 martensite 조직이 형성되었고, 유냉의 경우 bainite와 ferrite 조직이 형성되었지만, J55+B,Ti시편은 B의 첨가에 의한 경화능 향상으로 냉각방식에 관계없이 martensite 조직이 형성되었다. 전반적으로 B, Ti을 첨가하면서 기계적 성질은 향상되었고, quenching 이후의 시편보다 tempering 이후의 시편에서 크게 향상되었다. 이는 Ti의 첨가로 인해 생성된 미세한 석출물이 재결정시 결정립 성장을 억제하여 미세한 오스테나이트 결정립을 생성하였고, tempering 열처리 이후에도 결정립 미세화 효과가 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

The microstructure and deformation behavior in 22Cr-0.2N micro-duplex stainless steels with various Ni and Mn contents were compared using by OM, TEM, and XRD. The 22Cr-0.2N duplex stainless steel plates were fabricated and hot rolled, followed by annealing treatment at the temperature range of $1,000-1,100^{\circ}C$. All the samples showed the common strain hardening behaviour during the tensile test at a room temperature. The steels tested at the temperatures of $-30^{\circ}C$ or $-50^{\circ}C$ showed a distinct inflection point in the stress-strain curves, which should be resulted from the formation of strain-induced martensite(SIM) of austenite phase. This was confirmed by TEM observations. The onset strain of a inflection point in a stress-strain curve should be depended up the value of $M_d30$. With the decrease of the tensile test temperature, the inflection point appeared earlier, and the strength and fracture strain were higher. The tensile behaviour was discussed from the point of austenite stability of the micro-duplex stainless steels with the different Ni and Mn content.

Diamond-like Carbon(DLC) films were deposited on Si wafers by an RF-plasma-assisted CVD using CH$_4$gas. Tribological tests were conducted with the use of a rotating type ball on a disk friction tester with dry air. This study made use of four kinds of mating balls that were made with stainless steel but subjected to different annealing conditions in order to achieve different levels of hardness. In all load conditions, testing results demonstrated that the harder the mating materials, the lower the friction coefficient was. The friction coefficients were fecund to be lower with austenite mating balls than with fully annealed martensite balls. Conversely, the high friction coefficient found in soft martensite balls appeared to be caused by the larger contact area between the DLC film and the ball. The wear tracks on DLC films and mating balls could prove that effect. Measuring the wear track of both DLC films and mating balls revealed a similar tendency compared to the results of friction coefficients. The wear rate of austenite balls was also less than that of fully annealed martensite balls. Friction eoefficients decrease when applied leads exceed critical amount. The wear track on mating balls showed that a certain amount of material transfer occurs from the DLC film to the mating ball during a high friction process. Raman Spectra analysis Showed that the transferred materials were a kind of graphite and that the contact surface of the DLC film seemed to undergo a phase transition from carbon to graphite during the high friction process.

This study is to investigate the phase changes and cold workability after isothermal transformation at $780^{\circ}C$ by using the high temperature gas nitrided (HTGN) STS 430 ferritic stainless steel specimens. The phase diagram of STS 430 steel obtained by calculation showed that the phase appeared at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed as ${\alpha}+{\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\gamma}+Cr_2N{\rightarrow}{\gamma}+Cr_2N+CrN$ with increasing nitrogen concentration. Also, the transformation of ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}Cr_2N$ during heat treatment isothermally at $780^{\circ}C$, nitrogen pearlite with lamellar type was fully formed at the nitrogen permated surface layer for 10 hrs. However, this transformation was not completed for 1 hr, resulting nitrogen pearlite plus martensite. The cold rolled specimen of isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs after high temperature gas nitriding decreased the layer thickness of nitrogen pearlite inducing the deformation of hard $Cr_2N$ phase. the dissolution rate of $Cr_2N$ phase increased rapidly with increasing cold rolling ratio. Specimens with the microstructure of nitrogen pearlite (isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs) were possible to cold rolling without crack formation. However, the mixed structures of nitrogen pearlite + martensite (isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr) were impossible to cold deformation without cracking.
