Technical ceramics, due to their unique physical properties, are excellent candidate materials for engineering applications involving extreme thermal and chemical environments. When ceramics are rapidly cooled, they receive thermal shock. The thermal shock parameter is defined as the critical temperature difference. The critical temperature difference for ceramic parts is influenced by its size, the convective heat transfer coefficient, etc. The thermal shock for a component is analyzed by using the transient thermal stress. If the transient thermal stress exceeds the modulus of rupture (MOR), cracking by thermal shock is initiated. The critical temperature difference for water is less than the critical temperature difference for air. The three-way catalyst substrate used in this study has an adequate performance against thermal shock because its radial and axial temperature differences existed below the critical temperature differences.

The use of post installed anchors with adhesive type has lately been increasing when it is necessary to repair, reinforce, or remodel structures. This method provides flexibility and simplicity for construction of structural members that require adhering or fixing. Meanwhile, strength evaluation of anchors with expansion type among post installed anchors systems has nearly reached setting up stage like design code through continual experimental studies for the last ten years, but analyses or experimental studies on anchor system with adhesive type are not yet sufficient. Accordingly, the designers and builders of korea depend on foreign design codes since there are no exact domestic design code they could credit. In this study, the objectives are investigating the effects on adhesive strength of anchors embedded into plain concrete by shear experiments of anchors with variables such as edge distance, anchor interval, and load direction and supplying basic data for enactment of domestic design code.

Considering the fuel consumption of car, a light structure of aluminum alloys is desired fer car body nowadays. However, fusion welding of aluminum alloys has some problems of reduction of joint efficiency, porosity formation and hot cracking. In the present work, investigation to improve the joint performance of laser welded joint has been carried out by addition of Cu, Ni, and Zr to A6NO 1 alloy welds. Aluminum alloy plate of 2.Omm in thickness with filler metal bar was welded by twin beam Nd: YAG laser facility (total power: 5kW). The filler metals were prepared by changing the chemical compositions for adding the elements into the weld metal. Thirteen filler metal bars were prepared and pre-placed into the base metal before welding. Ar gas shielding with a flow rate of 10 1/min was used. The defocusing distance is kept at 0 mm. At travel speeds off 3 to 9 and at laser power of 5kW (front beam 2kW rear beam 3kW), full penetration welds were obtained, whereas at travel speeds of 12 to 18 m/min and same power, partial penetration was observed. The joint efficiency of laser-welded joint was improved by the addition of Cu, Ni, and Zr due to the solid solution hardening, grain refining and precipitation hardening. The type of hardening has been further considered by metallurgical examination.

자동차의 경량화, 안전성 그리고 내식성 향상을 위하여 고강도 강판 및 도금 강판의 적용이 증가하면서 자동차 산업의 많은 부분에서 적용되는 저항 점용접에서도 고강도 강판과 도금강판의 적용이 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 고강도 강판과 도금 강판의 낮은 용접성을 개선하기 위하여 기존의 단상 AC 용접기에서 전류 파형의 형태를 개선한 인버터 DC 용접기가 차체 조립라인에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고강도 강판의 저항 점용접의 연속타점 시 단상 AC용접기와 인버터 DC용접기의 전극의 연속타점 수명의 차이를 비교하고 분석하기 위해 590MPa 급 전기아연도금강판을 이용하여 AWS 규격에 연속타점실험을 기준으로 단상 AC 와 인버터 DC 용접기의 연속타점 실험을 실시하였다. 연속타점실험 중에 전극의 형상관찰을 위해 100타점 간격으로 carbon paper를 이용해 전극 직경 변화를 관찰 하였으며, 100 타점간격으로 동저항을 측정하고 인장 전단 시편과 Peel test 시편을 제작하여 연속타점 시 단상 AC와 인버터 DC 용접기의 저항 점용접 연속타점 수명을 비교 분석하였다. 그리고 연속타점 실험 후 사용된 전극의 표면과 단면 형상을 각각 OM, SEM, EDX로 분석하여 전극 표면의 Zn과 합금화 된 전극의 합금층을 분석하였다. 그 결과 590MPa급 전기아연도금강판의 저항 점용점 연속타점 수명평가에서 인버터 DC 용접기가 단상 AC 용접기보다 200타점 더 우수한 연속타점 수명을 보유하였다. 특히 인장강도 기준 측면에서는 인버터 DC 용접기의 전극 연속타점수명은 매우 우수하다.

We investigated the stability of the DLC film coated on 304 stainless steel substrate by Radio frequency assisted chemical vapor deposition method. Fracture and spallation behaviour of the coating was observed during micro-tensile test of the fil $m_strate composite. As the tensile deformation progressed, the cracks of the film were observed in the perpendicular direction to the tensile axis. Further deformation resulted in the plastic deformation with $45^{\circ}$ slip bands on the substrate surface. Spallation of the film occurred with the plastic deformation, which was initiated at the cracks of the film and was aligned along the slip directions. We found that both the cracking and the spallation behaviors are strongly dependent on the pre-treatment condition, such as Ar plasma pre-treatment. The spallation of the film was considerably suppressed in an optimized condition of the substrate cleaning by Ar glow discharge. We observed the improved stability with increasing duration of Ar plasma pre-treatment.nt.

In this study, Residue of formaldehyde and histopathological changes in formalin and neutralformalin in treated fish(Sebastes schlegeli) were observed at two different temperatures(15 and $25^{\circ}C$). Immediately after in treatment, residue of formaldehyde in formalin treated fish was show little bit higher than in neutral-formalin treated fish at $15^{\circ}C$. But, there is no difference at water temperature $25^{\circ}C$. The elimination of formaldehyde was markedly temperature-dependent. The approximated withdrawal time were 72hr and 24hr at water temperature 15 and $25^{\circ}C$. Formalin was more toxic than the neutral-formalin at the same condition. Intensity of tissues damage was increased with increasing concentration of chemical and temperature. Formalin and neutral-formalin treatments caused edema and seperation of epithelium, winding of secondary gill lamella, necrosis in the gill ; congestion and pycnosis, vacuolation in the liver ; hydropic and granulated degeneration, necrosis of epithelial cells in the proximal renal tubule ; increasing mucus cells, cracking, necrosis of epidermis and dermis in the skin tissue.

As a part of license renewal for the continued operation of Wolsong unit 1, the periodic safety review report was submitted near the end of design lifetime, 2012, and now is under reviewing. Major components of primary system such as pressure tubes, feeder pipes and so on are being replaced and many components of secondary system are also being repaired. So the license renewal of Wolsong unit 1 is expected to be acquired without significant issues. But on the other hand, steam generators of Wolsong unit 1 had the good performance and therefore the replacement and repair for the steam generator are not needed. Recently it is reported that some cracks were detected in a few of european steam generator with Alloy 800 tubes and the cause of cracks was the outer diameter stress corrosion cracking(ODSCC) due to the concentration of chemical impurities on the outer surface of tube. Accordingly the overall review on this issue was performed. The long-term operation is likely to results to form the concentration mechanism for the tube corrosion as the sludge build-up in the secondary side of steam generator and the crack in the crevice between tube and tube-sheet and expansion transitions is apt to be occurred. In this paper, the history of steam generator inspection and operation of Wolsong unit 1 are reviewed and the reliability of steam generator tube is evaluated and the steam generator aging management program for Wolsong unit 1 is introduced.

Characteristics of dissimilar metal welds between alloy steel ASTM A387 Gr. 91 and carbon steel ASTM A516 Gr.70 made with Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) have been evaluated in terms of microstructure, mechanical strength, chemical analysis by EDS as well as corrosion test. Three heat inputs of 15.0, 22.5, 30.0kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with E71T-1C wire. Post-weld heat treatment was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 h. Based on microstructural examination, Intragranular polygonal ferrite and grainboundary ferrite were formed only in first layer of weld metal. Another layers consisted of acicular ferrite and $Widmannst{\ddot{a}}tten$ ferrite. The amount of acicular ferrite was increased with decreasing heat input and layer. Heat affected zone of alloy steel showed the highest hardness due to the formation of tempered martensite and lower bainite. Lower and upper bainite were formed in heat affected zone of carbon steel. Tensile strengths of dissimilar metal welds decreased with increasing heat inputs. Dissimilar metal welds showed a good hot cracking resistance due to the low HCS index below 4. The salt spray test of dissimilar metals welds showed that the weight loss rate by corrosion below 170 hours was decreased with increasing heat inputs due to the increase of the amount of acicular ferrite.

Recently, polypropylene fiber reinforced mortar and concrete as civil and architectural materials have been used in major countries in the world. Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete has many advantages in terms of economical aspect, chemical stability and durability. It has been reported that polypropylene fiber can control restrained tensile stresses and cracks and increase toughness, resistance to impact, corrosion, fatigue and durability. The purpose of the present study is, therefore, to investigate the strength as well as many mechanical characteristics including toughness and shrinkage control properties. A specially devjsed shrinkage test has been applied to measure the crack control characteristics of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete. The present study indicates that the polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete curbs greatly the crack occurrence due to shrinkage and enhances toughness resistance. The present study provides a firm base for the efficient use of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete in actual construction such as pavements and slab structures.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to acid and sulfate environments such as sewer etc. show significant decrease in their durability due to chemical attack. Such deleterious acid and sulfate attacks lead to expansion and cracking in concrete, and thus, eventually result in damage to cement mortar by forming expansive hydration products due to the reaction between cement hydration products and acid and sulfate ions. In this study, the effect of fly ash and blast furnace slag on the bond performances of structural synthetic fiber in latex modified cement mortar under sulfate environments. Fly ash and blast furnace slag contents ranging from 0 % to 20 % are used in the mix proportions. The latex modified cement mortar specimens were immersed in fresh water, 8 % sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$) solutions for 28 and 50 days, respectively. Pullout tests are conducted to measure the bond performance of structural synthetic fiber from latex modified cement mortar after sulfate environments exposure. Test results are found that the incorporation of fly ash and blast furnace slag can effectively enhance the PVA fiber-latex modified cement mortar interfacial bond properties (bond behavior, bond strength and interface toughness) after sulfate environments exposure. The microstructural observation confirms the findings on the interface bond mechanism drawn from the fiber pullout test results under sulfate environments.
