Recently nickel based superalloys are extensively being regarded as the materials for the steam turbine parts for hyper super critical (HSC) power plants working at the temperature over $700^{\circ}C$, since the materials have excellent strength and corrosion resistance in high temperature. In this paper, alloy 617 of solution strengthened material and alloy 263 of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$-precipitation strengthened material were prepared as the testing materials for HSC plants each other. Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) was conducted with the gas tungsten arc (GTA) welded specimens. The microstructure of the base metals and weld metals were investigated with Electron Probe Micro-Analysis (EPMA) and Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM). The experimental results revealed that Ti-Mo carbides were formed in both of the base metals and segregation of Co and Mo in both of the weld metals before PWHT and PWHT leaded to precipitation of various carbides such as Mo carbides in the specimens. Furthermore, fine ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ particles, that were not precipitated in the specimens before PWHT, were observed in base metal as well as in the weld metal of alloy 263 after PWHT.

Sequential extraction was carried out on twenty two subsamples of three ferromanganese crusts from three seamounts (Lemkein, Lomilik, and Litakpooki) near the Marshall Islands in the western Pacific. The extraction was designed to fractionate Fe-Mn crust forming elements into low defined groups: (1) exchangeable and carbornate, (2) Mn-oxide, (3) Fe-oxyhyd.oxide, and (4) residual fraction. X-ray diffraction result shows that target material were well removed by each extraction step except for CFA in phosphatized crusts generation. According to chemical analysis of each leachate, most of elements in the Fe-Mn crusts are bound with two major phases. Mn, Ba, Co, Ni, Zn, (Fe, Sr, Cu, and V) are strongly bounded with Mn-oxide $({\delta}-MnO_2)$ phase, whereas Fe, Ti, Zr, Mo, Pb, Al, Cu,(V, P, and Zn) show chemical affinity with Fe-oxyhydroxide phase. This result indicates that significant amount of Al, Ti, and Zr can not be explained by detrital origin. Ca, Mg, K, and Sr mainly occur as exchangeable elements and/or carbonate phase. Outermost layer 1 and inner layer 2 which are both young crusts generations are similar in chemical speciations of elements. However, some of Fe-oxyhydroxide bounded elements (Pb, Y, Mo, Ba, Al, and V) in phosphatized innermost layer 3 are released during phosphatization and incorporated into phosphate (Pb, Y, Mo, and Ba) or Mn-oxide phase (Al and V). Our sequential extraction results reveal that chemical speciations of elements in the hydrogenetic crusts are more or less different from interelemental relationship calculated by statistical method based on bulk chemistry.

Ground water samples were collected from residential, green" industrial, landfill and mining area and analyzed for 23 inorganics from March to October in 2002. The results are as follows; 1. The detection frequencies of inorganic materials such as As, Ba, B, Mo, Ca, Mg, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Na, K were 7.2∼77.1% which showed that these inorganics were detected in many ground waters. 2. The detection frequencies of 7 inorganics(Cd, Cr, Ph, Se, Sb, Be, Tl) were commonly low at ranging from 0.42 to 2.5%. These inorganics were contained in ground water partially. 3. Three inorganics such as Hg, Ni, Ag were not detected in any ground-water samples. 4. Compared to the other areas, ground water samples from landfill area contained greater concentration in many inorgainics and then showed higher levels in industral, residential, mining and green area in order. 5. Compared to noted concentrations of bottled water, inorganic minerals including Ca, Mg, Na, K related to taste were fluent in target samples. The results showed that the average concentrations of Mg, Na, K were 4.0 mg/l, 14.7 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l respectively. 6. The concentrations of inorganics such as Sb, Ba, Mo, Be, Tl, K in some ground water samples exceeded the water quality standards of WHO, the US and UK. Especially, Ba, Mo, K also showed relatively high detection frequencies so these inorganics need to be considered as analytes in Korea Drinking Water Regulation in further study.

Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) of the carbon steel piping in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been major issue in nuclear industry. During the FAC, a protective oxide layer on carbon steel dissolves into flowing water leading to a thinning of the oxide layer and accelerating corrosion of base material. As a result, severe failures may occur in the piping and equipment of NPPs. Effect of alloying elements on FAC of pipe materials was studied with rotating cylinder FAC test facility at $150^{\circ}C$ and at flow velocity of 4m/s. The facility is equipped with on line monitoring of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen(DO) and temperature. Test solution was the demineralized water, and DO concentration was less than 1 ppb. Surface appearance of A 106 Gr. B which is used widely in secondary pipe in NPPs showed orange peel appearance, typical appearance of FAC. The materials with Cr content higher than 0.17wt.% showed pit. The pit is thought to early degradation mode of FAC. The corrosion product within the pit was enriched with Cr, Mo, Cu, Ni and S. But S was not detected in SA336 F22V with 2.25wt.% Cr. The enrichment of Cr and Mo seemed to be related with low, solubility of Cr and Mo compared to Fe. Measured FAC rate was compared with Ducreaux's relationship and showed slightly lower FAC rate than Ducreaux's relationship.

$Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) 박막 태양전지 제조에는 동시증발법 (co-evaporation)으로 Cu, In, Ga, Se 각 원소의 증발을 세 단계로 제어하여 CIGS 박막을 증착하는 3-stage 방법이 널리 이용된다[1]. 3-stage 중 1st-stage에서는 In, Ga, Se 원소 만을 증발시켜 $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$ 전구체 (precursor) 박막을 성장시킨다. 고효율의 CIGS 태양전지를 위해서는 $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$ 전구체 증착의 공정 변수와 이에 따른 박막 특성의 이해가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Mo 박막이 증착된 소다석회유리 (soda lime glass) 기판에 동시증발장비를 이용하여 280 380 의 기판 온도에서 In, Ga, Se 물질을 증발시켜 $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$/Mo/glass 시료를 제작하였으며 XRD, SEM, EDS 등의 방법을 이용하여 특성을 분석하였다. XRD 분석 결과 기판 온도 $280{\sim}330^{\circ}C$에서는 $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$ 박막의 (006), (300) 피크가 관찰되었으며, 기판 온도가 증가할수록 (006) 피크 세기는 감소하였고 (300) 피크 세기는 증가하였다. $380^{\circ}C$에서는 (110)을 포함한 다수의 피크가 관찰되었다. 그레인 (grain) 크기는 기판 온도가 증가할수록 커지며 Ga/(In+Ga) 조성비는 기판 온도에 따라 일정함을 각각 SEM과 EDS 측정을 통해 알 수 있었다. $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$ 전구체의 (300) 배향은 CIGS 박막의 (220/204) 배향을 촉진하고[2], 이것은 높은 광전변환효율에 기여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 때문에 $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$의 (300) 피크의 세기가 가장 큰 조건인 $330^{\circ}C$를 1st-stage 증착 온도로 하여 3-stage CIGS 태양전지 공정을 수행하였으며, $MgF_2$/Al/Ni/ITO/i-ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/glass 구조의 셀에서 광전변환효율 16.96%를 얻었다.

The present study was conducted to estimate the fatigue crack growth rate of the Mo-Ni alloyed ductile cast iron for the influence of austempering temperature and time. The fatigue crack growth rate was affected by retained austenite. Retained austenite volume were higher with the ductile cast irons which were austempered at $360^{\circ}C$ than austempered at $260^{\circ}C$, and the fatigue crack growth rate of the former was lower than that of the latter. Also, the fatigue growth rate of the former was the lowest at austempering for 1 hour and that of the latter was the lowest at austempering for 3 hours.

The Effects of the matrix structures and the amount of the retained austenite in austempered ductile iron(ADI) which contains Ni, Cu and Mo on fracture characteristics were inverstigated. The structures were changed from lower bainite to mixture of Lower and upper bainite, and then to upper bainite as austempering temperature increased. A higher austempering temperature yielded lower tensile strength and hardness, but higher impact valve and $K_{IC}$. In addition, the amount of the retained austenite increased with the austempering temperatures. Fracture surface showed a fibrous pattern and a dimple pattern with increasing the retained austenite amount.

Carburizing treatments are the important way to developing fatigue strength and wear resistance. It is well known that the case depth is one of the most significant parameters determining fatigue strength. In this study, 3-point bending fatigue test was conducted to evaluate fatigue strength for the carburized depth with 18CrNiMo7-6 steel. As a result, fatigue strength increased with effective case depth decreased. It is shown that hardness in case hardened layer played principal role in the fatigue strength.

In order to develop the evaluation methods of degradation for the Ni-Cr-Mo-V steel, which is in use for turbine rotor in nuclear power plant, the degraded materials were prepared by simulated degradation methods. The result of impact test and fatigue crack growth test shows that the FATT(Fracture Appearance Transition Temperature) and fatigue crack growth rate increased with the increase of degradation. And the result of new electrochemical polarization test method was suggested for the evaluating FATT, fatigue crack growth exponent and coefficient C values based on the results of relationship between corrosion current density(Icorr) & FATT, and the m & C and Icorr.

Several cell models, so-called local approach, have been proposed as engineering approaches to numerically simulate ductile fracture characteristics. In this paper, two- and three-dimensional finite element analyses incorporating both modified GTN and Rousselier models were carried out. Smooth and notched bars and CT25 specimens were assessed for StE460 and DIN22NiMoCr37 materials which were quoted from previous researches. Micro-mechanical parameters used in the assessment were established by fitting the numerical results with the experiments, and J-R curves derived from the simulations were found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental results.
