소구경 배관 용접부 손상은 원자력발전소에서 빈번하게 발생되고 있는 문제이며, 이러한 손상은 보수를 위한 불시정지를 야기하고 결과적으로 발전소에 경제적인 손실을 초래한다. 따라서 소켓용접부의 제작결함 검출과 초기 성장 결함의 검출은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 지금까지 해당부위에 대한 검사는 ASME Code Section XI 요건에 의하여 표면검사를 적용하여 왔으나 강화검사로 체적검사기법인 초음파검사를 병행하여 수행하고 있다. 그러나 가동중에 발생되는 피로균열을 검출하기 위하여 적용되고 있는 일반 수동 초음파검사는 소켓용접부의 접근성과 초음파 탐촉자의 접촉 문제 등으로 인하여 검사 결과의 신뢰성에 문제가 있어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 위상배열 초음파검사 기술을 적용하여 소구경 배관 소켓용접부의 검사 신뢰성과 속도를 향상하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 소구경 배관 소켓용접부 검사를 위한 3.5 MHz 위상배열 초음파 탐촉자를 제작하고 탐촉자의 접촉 조건과 일정한 신호 품질을 유지하기 위하여 수동 엔코더 스캐너를 개발하였다. 또한 검사 시스템을 구성하고 현장 검사를 위한 절차서도 개발하였다.

In this study, we investigated the traits of the clad metals used in hot-rolled clad steel plates. We examined the sensitization and mechanical properties of STS 316 steel plate and carbon steel (A516) under the specific circumstances of post heat treatment and whether a weld was multilayered and thick or repeated because of repairs. The test conditions were as follows. The clad steel plates were butt-welded using FCAW/SAW, and the heat treatment was conducted at $625^{\circ}C$, for 80, 160, 320, 640, or 1280 min. The change in the corrosion resistance was evaluated in these specimens. In the case of the carbon steel (A516), as the heat treatment time increased, the annealing effect caused the tensile strength to decrease. The micro- hardness gradually increased and then decreased after 640 min. The elongation and contraction of the area increased gradually. An oxalic acid etch test and EPR test on STS316, a clad metal, showed a STEP structure and no sensitization. From the test results for the multi-layered and repair welds, it could be concluded that there is no effect on the corrosion resistance of clad metals. In summary, the purpose of this study was to suggest some considerations when developing on-site techniques and evaluate the sensitization of stainless steels.

The operating temperature has been increased to improve the efficiency of gas turbine. The most advanced Gas turbine is operated at above $1,500^{\circ}C$. Improvement in material and cooling method permit hot gas path component to run at increased temperature. But, the repair of blades which are developed with advanced manufacture technique is difficult to use normal welding. Most of gas turbine blades are made of precipitation harden nickel base superalloy, which is very hard to weld. Therefore, the employment of welding filler on blade is solid solution nickel base superalloy(Hastelloy X, Inconel 617). In this study, Tensile test in high temperature was conducted on welded GTD111DS with GTD111 to evaluate effect of variation of pre, post treatment. The result of this study showed that the specimen was treated with optimum pre and post treatment(preweld HT($1200^{\circ}C$), Post treatment($1100^{\circ}C$ HIP, $1200^{\circ}C$ + $1100^{\circ}C$ + $800^{\circ}C$ HT) is mush superior.

Hardfacing is one of the frequently applying method to increase surface hardness in hot forging die. Recently, hardfacing receives great attention due to it's repair availability and low cost. In hot forging die, crack resistance and thermal shock resistance have been considered as major properties, However there are few studies for the assessment of these properties. So, it is necessary to establish the assessment method for crack resistance and thermal shock resistance in hardfacing for hot forging die. In this study, flux cored arc welding was applied to make hardfacing welds. Three point bending test was carried out to assess hardfacing weld's crack resistance, and high temperature bending test using salt bath was developed for thermal shock resistance. Consequently, it was possible to assess crack resistance and thermal shock resistance of hardfacing welds for hot forging die quantitatively.
