  • The effect of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of marine structures steel was investigated at electrochemical viewpoint. In addition, slow strain rate test (SSRT) was carried out to investigate both electrochemical and mechanical properties by PWHT effect during impressed current cathodic protection. The optimum cathodic protection potential by SSRT was -770 mV(SCE). At the applied cathodic protection potential of -770 mV -850 mV(SCE), the fracture morphology was dimple pattern with ductile fracture, while it was transgranular pattern (Q.C: quasi cleavage) under -875 mV(SCE).

  • 실제로 용접구조물의 재료에는 항상 내부 잔류응력이 존재하며 그 크기는 재료내의 내부 잔류응력간의 평형의 원리(Self-equilibrating system)에 의해 결정 된다. 일반적인 구조 강도설계에서 행해지는 탄성해석에서는 재료 내부에 존재하는 잔류응력을 고려하지 않기 때문에 설계시에 계산된 응력이 심하중하의 구조물에서 발생하는 응력과 같다고 볼 수는 없다. 철강재료를 사용한 구조물의 경우 구조물 제작 공정 전반에 걸친 성형가공 및 조립과정에 수반되어 재료 내에는 잔류응력이 발생되며 특히 용접조립에 의해 용접부 근방에서는 재료의 항복강도 수준의 상당히 큰 용접응력 이 발생하게 된다. 일반적으로 용접잔류응력의 완화법으로 가장 확실한 방법은 후열 처리법(Post weld heat treatment, PWHT)이지만 이 방법의 적용은 구조물의 크기에 제한을 받게 된다. 따라서 PWHT를 적용하기 어려운 구조물에 대해서는 다른 방법에 의해 용접잔류 응력을 완화시켜야 하며 이 경우에 일반적인 방법으로 기계적 응력완화 법(Mechanical stress relief method, MSR)이 있다. 본고에서는 MSR의 기본원리에 대하여 간단하게 정리하고 실 구조물에 대한 MSR 적용시 고려해야 할 제반사항을 위하여 단순 용접부에 대한 MSR 적용 실험결과와 실제 압력용기를 대상으로 MSR을 자체 제작된 기술절차서에 따라서 시행하고 MSR의 적용성에 대해서 검토하였다.

  • The welding residual stresses produced by welding frequently cause a crack and promote stress corrosion etc. in heat affected zone contained with external load and weakness of material. For the purpose pof relaxation of welding residual stress, post welding heat teratment(PWHT) is widely used. In this paper, the computer program which is based on Thermal-Elasto-plastic-creep theory for plane deformation on developed by finite element method (F.E.M) and verified its propriety by experimental measurement and also by using the developed computer program. The mechanical behavior of butt welding joint is clairfied during PWHT.

  • A failure analysis of ammonia converter which suffered hydrogen attack in two years since its initial operating time was presented. It is constructed from 2.25 Cr.1 Mo steel. Analysis showed that the failure on closing seam weld joint was due to local improper post weld heat treatment (PWHT). Improper PWHT can introduce high residual stresses in thick-walled pressure vessel. High residual stress level in weld joint is very prone to hydrogen attack for any components which are operating in hydrogen gas environment. The repair procedures based on the principle to decrease the residual stress then proposed. The repair was controlled very carefully by applying several nondestructive tests in the each stage of repair. To assure the successful of the proposed repair, after one year since repair time, high temperature ultrasonic and TOFD methods were applied on-stream to this equipment in order to evaluate its post repair condition. The two methods showed good results on the repaired area.

  • Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) pressure vessels are made of forged low alloy steel plates internally clad with an austenitic stainless steel by welding to improve anti-corrosion properties. They display a characteristic behavior of dissimilar metal weld interface during post weld heat treatment (PWHT) and service at high temperature and pressure. In this Study, Metallugical structure of weld interface of SA 508 Class 3 forged steel clad with 309L, Austenitic stainless steel after PWHT was investigated. To estimate the width of the carburized/decarburized bands quantitatively, a model for carbon diffusion was proposed and a theoretical equation was derived.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of stress corrosion cracking(SCC) and acoustic emission(AE) signals for the weld HAZ of HT-60 steel under corrosion control in synthetic seawater. Corrosive environment was controlled by potentiostat, and SCC experiment was conducted using a slow strain rate test method at strain rate of 10$^{-5}$ /sec. In order to verify the miroscopic fracture behaviour of the weldment during SCC phenomena, AE test was done simultaneously. Besides, correlationship between mechanical parameters and AE ones was investigated. In case of the parent, reduction of area(ROA) at -0.5V was samller than any other applied voltage such as -0.8V and -1.1V. In addition, reduction of area for the PWHT specimens at -0.8mV was larger than that of the weldment due to the softening effect according to PWHT. In case of the weldment, a lots of events was produced because of the singularities of the weld HAZ compared with the parent.
