대형화, 초고층 및 고스팬에 부응하기 위한 강재 기술개발의 노력으로 용접성능과 내진성능 그리고 내화성능이 부여된 새로운 강재인 Thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) 내화강재가 개발되었다. TMCP 내화강재는 기존의 내화강재 생산과정 시 압연과 동시에 정밀한 열처리를 병행함으로 인장력과 용접성을 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 기술인 TMCP 방법으로 개발되었으며, 화재와 같은 고온에서의 구조적 안전성에 관한 내력평가가 요구되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고온 시 TMCP 내화강재의 내력평가를 목적으로 고온 시 항복강도, 탄성계수를 평가하고 각각에 대한 온도영역별 실험식을 제시하였으며, 이를 일반 내화강재의 고온 특성과 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 각각의 소재로 설정된 H형강 기둥부재를 대상으로 고온 시의 내력을 계산하여 그 안전성을 확인한 결과, TMCP 내화강재의 고온 시 내력특성은 일반강 내화강재의 고온 내력저하 특성보다 열위인 것으로 나타났다.

최근 건설되는 강교량은 지간의 장대화 및 교량으로서의 기능은 물론이고 외적 조형미, 유지관리, 공사기간과 수명주기 비용 등을고려한 구조적 단순함을 요한다. 이러한 요구를 충족시키기 위해 극후판이나 TMCP 강과 같은 고성능 강의 사용이 요구된다. TMCP (Thermo-Mechanical Control Proces)법에 의해 제조되는 TMCP 강은 탄소당량이 적고, 조직이 미세하며, 강도 및 인성이 좋다. 최근에는 인장강도 60MPa급의 고강도 TMCP 강인 SM570-TMC 강이 개발되어 토목구조물에 일부 적용되고 있으며, 점차 그 영역을 확장하려는 추세에 있다. 하지만 이러한 고강도 TMCP 강을 강구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 그 재료적 특성뿐만 아니라 용접 시 발생하는 접합부의 역학적 특징을 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고온인장실험을 통해서 SM570-TMC 강의 고온시의 기 계적 특성을 조사하였고, 이를 잔류응력 특징을 명확히 하였다.

Thermo Mechanical Control Process(TMCP) 강재는 열간압연시에 압연 온도를 제어하면서 경우에 따라 압연직후 냉각, 열처리하여 안정된 조직으로 압연, 제조된 강재이다. 본 연구에서는 극후판 TMCP강재의 소재특성과 건축구조용 강재로서의 적합성과 특성을 밝히기 위하여 화학성분 및 조직특성, 내력 및 기계적 특성, 사용성 및 인성, 등으로 분류하여 소재특성과 용접특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 대상강재는 극후판에서도 설계기준강도를 만족하고 낮은 탄소당량 ($C_{eq}$) 및 용접갈라짐 감수성조성($P_cm$)과 저항복비 등이 확보되었다. 또한, 기준온도(${\pm}0^{\circ}C$)는 물론 $-60^{\circ}C$의 극저온에서도 충분한 충격흡수에너지값으로 양호한 인성의 소재특성을 나타냈고, 용접부에서도 경화현상이 저감되고, 용접부의 인성 및 내력이 충분한 것으로 나타났다.

The object of this paper is to evaluate SCC(stress corrosion cracking) susceptibility for parent metal and bond line region of weld joints which have the various weld heat input condtions in TMCP(thermo-mechanical control process) steel by SP-SSRT(small punch-slow strain rate test) method. And the SCC test results of TMCP steel are compared with those of the conventional HT50 steel which has te almost same tensile strength level like TMCP steel. The loading rate used was $3\times10^{-4}$mm/min and the corrosive environment was synthetic sea water. According to the test results, in the case of parent metal, TMCP steel showed higher SCC susceptibility than HT50 steel because of the high plastic strain level of ferrite microstructure obtained by accelerated cooling. And in the case of bond line, the both TMCP steel and HT50 steel showed low load-displacement behaviors and higher SCC susceptibility above 0.6. These results may be caused by theembrittled martensite structure on HT50 steel and by the coarsened grain and the proeutectoid ferrite structure obtained by the impart of accelerated cooling effect on TMCP steel.

The TMCP steel has expanded in the marine structure during manufacturing process because of its excellent weld-ability and impact toughness. In the case of merchant ships, coverage of TMCP steel has been used widely on over DH36 Classifications material. The line heating process is applied to the outer surface of the steel plate for the shipbuilding. In this study, We compared between TMCP and normalizing steel for shipbuilding by analyzing some basic data through performing the natural cooling after the line heating. The experimental results show the angular misalignment changes in line heating. Heated surface of normalizing steel material expanded to $-0.3^{\circ}$ and reduced to $+0.2^{\circ}$ after cooling. And during cooling at $194^{\circ}C$ for 1,500 seconds, Angular Misalignment began from - direction to + direction, passed the critical point to the default at 2,200 seconds and did not take place any more at $103^{\circ}C$ after the 2,700 seconds. Angular Misalignment results of TMCP steels and Normalizing steel material show same angular misalignment lasted 1,200 seconds, TMCP steel has given more expansion and contraction angle which is $0.2^{\circ}$ than that of the Normalizing steel. Length difference between expansion and contraction is about 0.3 mm.

Fatigue behavior of the AH, DH and EH grade TMCP(Thermo-Mechanical Control Process) steels was studied. High cycle and low cycle fatigue tests were carried out for the weldment and base metal of each steel. The results showed that the fatigue limit at 2 * $10^6$ cycles was 33 to 37 kg/$mm^2$ for the base metal and 30 to 34 kg/$mm^2$ for the weldment. The ratio of fatigue limit to tensile strength for TMCP steels was 0.65 to 0.71, which was a value close to the upper limit for the ordinary steels. It was also found that the high cycle fatigue behavior of TMCP steels could be affected by the microstructures of base metal. It will be necessary to have fine structure for TMCP steels to increase the fatigue resistance. In low cycle fatigue test, the fatigue lifetime of AH and DH steels accorded well with the ASME best fit curve, while that of EH steel was considerably lower than the fatigue lifetime of the other steels. Fatigue resistance of the weldment made by high heat input(180kJ/cm) welding was not lower than that made by low heat input(80kJ/cm) welding in case of high cycle fatigue, but the high heat input welding decreased the fatigue resistance in case of low cycle fatigue.

Large sized marine structures are used under corrosion environment of seawater and applied by severe service loading such as an ocean current, a billow and a tempest. Marine structures are usually constructed by lots of thick wall steel pipes joining welded joints. The thickness of such as steel pipes is usually more than 40mm. The such as steels are called "Thermo-Mechanical Control Process steel (TMCP steel)" strengthened by a heat treatment in process of steel manufactures. The failure, especially crack initiation, of marine structures was starting at weld joints under service condition. Then they should be designed by basis of the fatigue strength under seawater corrosion environment of weld joints. To clarity the fatigue crack initiation behavior is important more than to clarify the crack propagation behavior on the strength design of marine structures, because it is very difficult to find out the crack initiation and propagation phenomena and then even if it will be able to find out, it is considered that the refit of the damaged parts of welded joints have a technical difficulty under the sea. Therefore, it is most important to clarify the corrosion fatigue crack initiation behavior under the seawater condition. But, there is one big difficulty to make a test for thick plate specimen, for example thicker than 40mm. Because, it is need large capacity loading apparatus to test such as thick plate specimen. In this research, the new configuration specimen for fatigue crack initiation tests was proposed. Using this new specimen, it is easy to carry out the fatigue clack initiation tests with relatively low cyclic loading and to observe a fatigue crack initiation behavior.

TMCP(Thermo Mechanical Control Process) steel was continuously cast (CC) by varying the argon gas flow rate and vacuum time in the Ruhrstahl Heraeus (RH) refining process. Using the CC specimens, the distribution of the inclusions and the mechanical properties were evaluated. A lot of oxides and Al-O type inclusions were observed. The average Vickers hardness did not show a constant, but showed dispersion in a certain range. The shape and scale parameters of the CC specimen with an argon gas flow rate of 160Nm³ and a vacuum time of 12 minutes was the best. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength and elongation) were consistent with the Weibull probability distribution analysis results. The impact resistance was the best for CC specimens with an argon flow rate of 140 Nm³ and a vacuum time of 12 minutes. Although the inclusions and mechanical properties of the CC specimens were evaluated according to the argon gas flow rate and vacuum time, these values were no significant difference.

It is well known that the fine bainitic microstructure obtained by TMCP(thermo-mechanical control process) secures the high toughness of base metal. Besides, TMCP steel is very suitable for high heat input in welding as it has low carbon equivalent. In HAZ, however, the accelerated cooling effect imparted on the matrix by the weld thermal cycles is relieved and thus the weldment of TMCP steel has softening zone which shows low fracture toughness compared with base metal. Therefore, PHWT of weldment is carried out to improve the fracture toughness in weldment of TMCP steel which has softening zone. In this study, the effects of PWHT on the weldment of AH36-TMCP steel are investigated by the small punch (SP) test. From the several results such as SP energy and displacement at room temperature, the behavior of transition curves, the fracture strength at -196$^{\circ}C$, distribution of (DBTT)sp and (DBTT)sp, the PWHT condition of A.C. after 85$0^{\circ}C$-1 sec W.C. was suitable condition for recovering a softening zone of HAZ as welded.
