Many pressure vessels for the hot H$\sub$2//H$\sub$2/S service are made of 2+1/4Cr-1Mo steel with austenitic stainless steel overlay to combat agressive corrosion due to hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen dissolves in to materials during operation, and sometimes gives rise to unfore-seeable damages. Appropriate precautions must, therefore, be taken to avoid the hydrogen induced damages in the design, fabrication and operation stage of such reactor vessels. Recently, hydrogeninduced cracking (or Disbonding) was found at the interface between base metal and stainless weld overlay of a desulfurizing reactor. Since the stainless steel overlay weld metal is subjected to thermal and internal-pressure loads in reactor operation, it is desirable for the overlay weld metal to have high strength and ductility from the stand point of structural safety. In section III of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Post-Weld Heat Treatment(PWHT) of more than one hour per inch at over 1100.deg. F(593.deg. C) is required for the weld joints of low alloy pressure vessel steels. This heat treatment to relieve stresses in the welded joint during construction of the pressure vessel is considered to cause sensitization of the overlay weld metal. The present study was carried out to make clear the diffusion of carbon migration by PWHT in dissimilar metal welded joint. The main conclusion reached from this study are as follows: 1) The theoretical analysis for diffusion of carbon in stainless steel overlay weld metal does not agree with Fick's 2nd law but the general law of molecular diffusion phenomenon by thermodynamic chemical potential. 2) In the stainless steel overlay welded joint, the PWHT at 720.deg. C for 10 hours causes a diffusion of carbon atoms from ferritic steel into austenitic steel according to the theoretical analysis for carbon migration and its experiment. 3) In case of PWHT at 720.deg. C for 10 hours, the micro-hardness of stainless steel weld metal in bonded zone increase very highly in the carburized layer with remarkable hardening than that of weld metal.

본 연구에서는 SA-516 압력용강의 다층용접재와 용접후 열처리재를 대상으로 음향방출신호 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 예균열 선단에서 형성되는 소성영역의 크기와 음향방출신호와의 관계를 고찰하였으며, 실험 후 파단면을 관찰하여 음향방출원을 규명하여 용접후 열처리의 유효성을 평가하였다. 용접재 및 후 열처리재 모두 용접된 판 두께방향의 중앙부에서 표준 샤르피 시험편을 채취하여 날카로운 균열(예균열)을 내고 난 다음, 4점굽힘과 음향방출실험을 동시에 실시하였다. 후 열처리재와 용접재 공히 탄성영역에서 음향방출 신호는 발생하지 않았으며, 항복하중과 최대하중 사이에서 발생하였고, 최대하중 이후의 소성 심화영역에서 는 신호가 발생하지 않았다. 후 열처리재의 음향방출신호 강도는 시험편의 채취 위치에 관계없이 용접재에 비해 작았으며, 균열선단에서 소성영역의 진전형태는 용접재에 비해 훨씬 단순한 양상을 보였다. 후 열처리재의 파단면에는 용접재와는 달리 산화물의 분포가 훨씬 적었으며, 이는 열처리로 인해 용접부의 음향방출원이 감소하였다는 점에서 볼 때 열처리 효과는 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behavior of residual stress at the weldment of pressure vessel by local Post Weld Heat Treatment(PWHT). In order to do it, residual stress were measured before and after local PWHT by XRD on the test piece first. And then, the results of finite element(FE) analysis based on thermal-elasto-plastic-creep theories were verified by comparing with the measured results.

Conventionally, SMAW process was applied to join pipes of RCL, which caused lot of loss in time and cost due to excessive heat input and defects in joining section. Recently, narrow-gap welding(NGW) process was introduced to overcome the disadvantages of SMAW. However, the application of NGW to nuclear power plant is not yet common because safety of NGW process is not proven. In present paper, the welded coupons are made of carbon steel. They are manufactured under different processes; general welding(GW), post-weld heat treatment(PWHT) after GW, repair welding after GW and PWHT with repair welding after GW in carbon steel. Performed are various mechanical tests investigation of microstructure, hardness test, tensile test at room and high temperature, bending test, impact test and J-R test. It is verified that the mechanical properties of carbon steel are greatly changed after repair welding process due to applied heat flux, and that the effect of PWHT is beneficial.

본 연구는 수송기계 축 등에 이용되는 캠 형상 부분만을 기존의 단조품인 SF45와 축 부분은 일반기계구조용 탄소강재인 SM45C를 직경 20 mm를 이용하여 이종 마찰용접을 수행하였다. 최적조건을 규명하기 위해 인장시험 등 용접품질과의 상관관계를 고찰하였고, 또한 최적조건에서 마찰용접 후 열처리를 시행하여 용접재(As-welded)와 후열처리재(PWHT)에 대한 회전굽힘 피로시험을 시행하였다. 결과적으로 두 이종재가 강한 혼합으로 계면에서도 개재물 및 산화막이 플래시로 토출되어 양호한 접합상태임을 확인하였다. 더욱이 모재(SF45)와 후열처리재의 피로한도 각각 180 MPa, 250 MPa로 나타났다. 이는 후열처리재가 SF45 모재에 비해 약 40 %의 피로수명이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 횡방향 TIG 용접된 Al6013-T4 알루미늄 합금 용접부의 피로균열전파거동에 미치는 용접후열처리(PWHT)의 영향을 조사하는 것이 주목적이다. 기초적으로 인장시험, 경도 및 미세조직이 조사되었으며, 피로균열전파거동을 고찰하기 위한 피로 시험은 모두 중앙균열인장(CCT) 시험편에 대하여 수행되었다. T82열처리에 있어서 시효시간은 피로균열전파율, 인장강도 및 경도에 대단히 민감함을 나타내었으며, 모재와 열영향부재의 경우가 용접재보다 기계적 성질이 우수하였다. 횡방향 TIG 용접한 Al6013-T4 시험재의 용접후열처리 조건에 따라서 피로균열전파 저항에는 차이가 나타났으며, 본 실험의 조건하에서 24시간 인공시효 PWHT-82 시험편이 피로균열전파 저항이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다.

Generally, as the welded region of weld structures has the incomplete bead and welded deposit which are able to behave like the surface cracks occasinally, there is a high possibility that the fatigue fracture of the weld structures is due to the surface cracks on the wlded region. This study was done to investigate the effects of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the fatigue behaviors of the surface crack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) for the multi-pass welds under the repetitive pure bending moment. The obtained results are summarized as follows : 1. The crack grows to the depth direction initially as the number of cylces increase, the amount of crack length is increased for the surface dir3ction and cive versa for the depth direction. 2. The fatigue life is increased in a order of as weld, PWHT specimens and parent. 3. As the number of cycles increase, the crack length is increased to th surface direction. The increase of the depth length is blunted at the center of specimen thickness. 4. The fatigue crack growth of PWHT specimens to the surface direction is dependent upon the holding time and applied stress during PWHT. In order words, the crack growth rate decreases with the holding time and increases with the applied stress during PWHT. 5. As the crack grows, the aspect formed in the course of crack propagation approaches to semicircle for parent and ellipse with the largest semidiameter for PWHT ($1/4hr, 15kgf/mm^2$) 6. At depth direction, it is difficult to apply to the paris' equation because of the scattered data between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity factor range.

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.

Post weld heat treatment(PWHT) is usually carried out to remove the residual stress and to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of welded joints. By the way, welding structure transformed owing to PWHT and reheating for repair loads the random cycles fatigue as offshore welding structure of constant low cycle fatigue as pressure vessel, and then, pre-existing flaws or cracks exist in a structural component and those cracks grow under cyclic loading. Therefore, the effects of PWHT and stress ratio on fatigue crack growth behaviors were studied on the three regions such as HAZ, sub-critical HAZ and deposit metal of welded joints in SM53 steel. Fatigue crack growth behavior of as-weld depended on microstructure and fatigue crack growth rate of HAZ was the lowest at eac region, but after PWHT it was somewhat higher than that of as-wel. In case of applying the stress($10kg/mm^2$) during PWHT, fatigue crack growth resistance tended to increase in the overall range of .DELTA.K.
