The main purpose of the present study has been placed on investigating the effects of controlled cooling on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 0.2C-0.2Si-0.8Mn-B steel for cold forming. The steel was processed in steel making factory(EAF, VD) and casted to $\Box160$ billet then reheated in walking beam furnace and rolled to coil, rolling stock was acceleratly cooled before coiling. Microstructual observation, tensile test and charpy impact tests were conducted. The mechanical properties and microsture of the steel were changed by cooling condition. The grain size of rolled product decreased with increasing cooling rate, resulting in increase of impact toughness and tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area . From the result of this study, it is conformed that mechanical properties and microstructure of 0.2C-0.2Si-0.8Mn-B steel for cold forming were enhanced by accelerated cooling.

This study deals with the effects of austempering time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-high strength nanostructured bainitic steels with high carbon and silicon contents. The steels are composed of bainite, martensite and retained austenite by austempering and quenching. As the duration of austempering increases, the thickness of bainitic ferrite increases, but the thickness of retained austenite decreases. Some retained austenites with lower stability are more easily transformed to martensite during tensile testing, which has a detrimental effect on the elongation due to the brittleness of transformed martensite. With increasing austempering time, the hardness decreased and then remained stable because the transformation to nanostructured bainite compensates for the decrease in the volume fraction of martensite. Charpy impact test results indicated that increasing austempering time improved the impact toughness because the formation of brittle martensite was prevented by the decreased fraction and increased stability of retained austenite.

건축물이 고층이 될 수록 고강도 강재의 사용요구가 증대된다. 그러나 고강도 강재는 일반 강재와는 전혀 다른 기계적 특성을 갖고 있다. 고강도 강재를 건축구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 비탄성 영역에서의 거동이 일반 강재와 동등한가를 확인해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국내에서 개발된 SM570TMC 강재를 건축구조용으로 사용하기 위해서 기계적 성질 및 용접부 특성을 평가하였다. 연속항복현상을 보이는 SM570TMC 강재는 판두께가 증대되어도 강도저감이 발생되지 않았으며, 최소 항복강도가 440MPa로 나타났다. 또한 판두께 방향으로 균일한 경도분포를 보였다. -5oC에서의 Charpy 충격값도 충분한 인성을 보였다. 용접성과 관련있는 탄소당량은 기존 건축구조용 강재보다 훨씬 낮았으며, 용접부 특성도 우수하였다.

고온 장시간 사용재의 열화로 인한 파괴인성의 저하를 초음파 방법으로 평가하기 위하여 Cr-Mo-V 강을 실험실에서 인공 열화처리하여 열화로 인한 손상 기구를 규명하고, 열화도에 따른 초음파 파라미터의 변화를 체계적으로 관찰하였다. 초음파 파라미터로서 속도, 감쇠와 보다 최근에 개발된 비선형 음향 파라미터를 사용하였는데, 비선형 음향 파라미터가 가장 민감한 변화를 보였다. 또한 전기비저항 측정 결과와 비교할 때 두 방법 모두 전체적으로 유사한 거동을 보였다. Charpy V-notch 충격시험으로부터 구한 파면양상 천이온도(FATT)와 비선형 파라미터 사이에는 비교적 좋은 상관관계가 성립하였으며, FATT와 파괴인성($K_{IC}$) 사이의 관계식에 근거하여 열화된 발전설비 재료의 파괴인성을 초음파 비선형 파라미터의 측정을 통하여 간접적으로 구할 수 있음을 보였다.

샤피 V-노치 충격 하중-변위 곡선으로부터 얻은 균열정지하중을 이용하여 원자로압력용기강의 균열정지파괴인성($K_{Ia}$)을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 모색하고 그 타당성을 고찰하였다. 샤피충격 하중-변위 곡선으로부터 얻은 균열정지하중값의 변화는 특성온도로 보정된 지수함수의 형태로 잘 표현될 수 있었다. 특성온도 $T_{Pa=2kN}$은 실험적인 무연성천이온도($T_{NDT}$) 및 $T_{41\;J}$과 높은 상관성을 나타냈으며, 원자로압력용기강의 균열정지파괴인성을 표현하는 새로운 특성온도로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 균열정지하중값의 변화는 파면으로부터 측정된 안정균열길이의 변화와 매우 높은 상관성을 나타내었다. 따라서 무딘 노치를 갖는 시편에 대한 계장화샤피충격시험을 통하여 균열정지하중 및 안정균열길이를 측정하믈써 비교적 정확하게 원자로압력용기강에 대한 하한값의 파괴인성치($K_{Ia}$)를 평가하는 것이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

Zr addition is known as effective method to improve the anisotropy of steel due to the elongated MnS inclusions which are observed in hot forged steels. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of Zr addition on the mechanical properties and manganese sulphide morphology of 0.27%C-Cr-Mo plastic mold steel. The ingots were prepared by vacuum induction melting and forged to ${\Phi}35mm$ round bar. Forged bars were quenched and tempered at $560{\sim}640^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Jominy test, microstructual observation, tensile test and Charpy impact test were conducted. The morphology of MnS inclusions was changed by Zr addition. The shape of MnS inclusions was not so much lengthened and controlled not to be elongated by Zr inclusions which surround the MnS inclusions. Tensile strength and yield strength of the tempered steels were not nearly affected by the addition of Zr, but elongation and reduction of area were decreased. Especially, the toughness of Zr added steels was deteriorated with increasing of Zr content. From the results of this study, it is assumed that anisotropy of steels was improved by the addition of Zr. However, impact toughness of the steel was significantly decreased by the excessive Zr addition (over 0.066%).

Higher strength and fracture toughness of reactor pressure vessel steels can be obtained by changing the material specification from that of Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel (SA508 Gr.3) to Ni-Mo-Cr low alloy steel (SA508 Gr.4N). However, the operation temperature of the reactor pressure vessel is more than $300^{\circ}C$ and the reactor operates for over 40 years. Therefore, we need to have phase stability in the high temperature range in order to apply the SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steel for a reactor pressure vessel. It is very important to evaluate the temper embrittlement phenomena of SA508 Gr.4N for an RPV application. In this study, we have performed a Charpy impact test and tensile test of SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steel with changing impurity element contents such as Mn and P. And also, the mechanical properties of these low alloy steels after longterm heat treatment ($450^{\circ}C$, 2000hr) are evaluated. Further, evaluation of the temper embrittlement by fracture analysis was carried out. Temper embrittlement occurs in KL4-Ref and KL4-P, which show a decrease of the elongation and a shifting of the transition curve toward high temperature. The reason for the temper embrittlement is the grain boundary segregation of the impurity element P and the alloying element Ni. However, KL4-Ref shows temper embrittlement phenomena despite the same contents of P and Ni compared with SC-KL4. This result may be caused by the Mn contents. In addition, the behavior of embrittlement is not largely affected by the formation of $M_3P$ phosphide or the coarsening of Cr carbides.

In this study, the toughness was evaluated by using the instrumented Charpy impact testing procedures for A15083-O aluminum alloy used in the LNG carrying and storing tank. The specimens were GMAW welded with four different mixing shield gas ratios (Ar100%+He0%, Ar67%+He33%, Ar50%+He50%, and Ar33%+He67%), and tested at four different temperatures(+25, -30, -85, and -196$^{\circ}C$ ) in order to investigate the influence of the mixing shield gas ratio and the low temperature. The specimens were divided into base metal, weld metal, fusion line, and HAZ specimen according to the worked notch position. From experiment, the maximum load increased a little up to -85$^{\circ}C$, and the maximum load and maximum displacement were shown the highest and the lowest at -196$^{\circ}C$ than the other test temperatures. The absorption energy of weld metal notched specimens was not nearly depends on test temperature and mixing shield gas ratio because the casting structure was formed in weld metal zone. In the other hand, the others specimens was shown that the lower temperature, the higher absorption energy slightly up to -85$^{\circ}C$ but the energy was decreased so mush at -196$^{\circ}C$

The main purpose of the present study has been placed on investigating the mechanical properties and microstructures of C-Si-Mn-V steels for cold forming manufactured by controlled rolling and cooling technology. The steels were manufactured in electric arc furnace (EAF) and casted to $160{\times}160mm$ billet. The billets were reheated in walking beam furnace and rolled to coil, the stocks were rolled by Controlled Rolling and Cooling Technology (CRCT), so rolled at low temperature by water spraying applied in rolling stage and acceleratly cooled before coiling. Rolled coils were cold drawed to the degree of 16%, 27% of area reduction respectively without heat treatment. Microstructual observation, tensile test, compression test and charpy impact tests were conducted. The mechanical properties of the steels were changed by area reduction of cold drawing and it is founded that there are optimum level of cold drawing to minimize compression stress for these steels. From the result of this study, it is conformed that $80kg_{f}/mm^{2},\;90kg_{f}/mm^{2}$ grade high strength microalloyed steel for cold forming are developed by accelerated cooling and optimum cold drawing.
