본 연구에서는 납사 크래킹 잔사유로부터 용융전기방사용 핏치가 열처리 개질 방법에 의하여 제조되었다. 개질된 핏치의 연화점과 물성은 질소유량, 열처리 온도 및 반응시간 같은 개질 조건에 따라 영향을 받았다. 이중에서 열처리온도가 핏치의 분자량 분포 및 연화점에 큰 영향력을 미쳤다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라서 표면 작용기들의 분해와 고리화 반응으로 C/H 몰비와 평균분자량이 증가하였다. 또한, 벤젠 불용분(BI)과 퀴놀린 불용분(QI)값이 감소되었고, 분자량 분포의 폭이 더 좁아지는 것으로 보여주었다. 연화점이 $155^{\circ}C$인 개질 핏치로부터 용융전기방사법을 이용하여 $4.8{\mu}m$의 직경을 갖는 탄소섬유를 얻을 수 있었다. 용융전기방사법이 저섬경화 섬유를 제조하는데 기존의 용융방사법보다 더 용이할 것으로 여겨진다.

팽창재는 콘크리트의 건조/자기수축으로 인한 균열에 매우 효과적인 혼화재료이며 콘크리트 내부 철근에 화학적 프리스트레스를 인가할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 CSA 팽창재에 의해 화학적 프리스트레스가 도입된 모르타르의 인장경화성능을 평가하였다. 철근으로 내부구속이 이루어진 철근 모르타르 시편에 대하여 일축인장시험을 수행하였으며, 균열거동 특성과 인장경화 특성을 분석하였다. CSA 모르타르에서는 압축강도 및 탄성계수는 약간 감소하였으나, 화학적 압축응력이 철근에 도입되었으며, 일반 모르타르 부재에 비해 167.5% 초기균열하중이 증가하였다. 높은 인장경화특성을 평가하였으며, 기존의 인장연화모델과 실험값을 비교하여 기존 제안식의 보완점을 제시하였다.

Iodine-induced stress corrosion cracking (ISCC) properties and the associated ISCC process of Zircaloy-4 and an Nb-containing advanced nuclear fuel cladding were evaluated. An internal pressurization test with a pre-cracked specimen was performed with a stress-relieved (SR) or recrystallized (RX) microstructure at $350^{\circ}C$, in an iodine environment. The results showed that the $K_{ISCC}$ of the SR and RX Zircaloy-4 claddings were 3.3 and 4.8MPa\;m^{0.5}, respectively. And the crack propagation rate of the RX Zircaloy-4 was 10 times lower than that of the SR one. The chemical effect of iodine on the crack propagation rate was very high, which was increased $10^4$ times by iodine addition. Main factor affecting on the micro-crack nucleation was a pitting formation and its agglomeration along the grain boundary. However, this pitting formation on the grain-boundary was suppressed in the case of an Nb addition, which resulted in an increase of the ISCC resistance when compared to Zircaloy-4. Crack initiation and propagation mechanisms of fuel claddings were proposed by a grain boundary pitting model and a pitting assisted slip cleavage model and they showed reasonable results.

In this report, stress corrosion cracking generation due to pipe material degradation in the primary stage of the nuclear power plant was investigated. Firstly, after artificially degrading the CF8A steel during 2, 4, and 6 months in actual temperature, $400^{\circ}C,$ assessed corrosion susceptibility of the degraded material following ASTM G5 standard. And next, the S.C.C. tests for the degraded material were conducted under the condition of $60^{\circ}C,$ 2wt.% H2BO3+Li70H solution, 0.8 oy. From the results, Corrosion rates linearly increased with degradation period and solution temperature increase. And both the raw material and the degraded materials were not failed in the S.C.C. test condition. In spite of long time test (about 3,900 hrs) under S.C.C. condition, surface pits or surface corrosion by the electro chemical reaction were not observed. And also, even though the nondestructive DCPD and ACPD methods were applied to on-line monitor the S.C.C. failure processes it was impossible because the surface pits and cracks were not generated.

Magnesium alloys become popular research topic in last decade due to its light weight and relatively high strength-to-weight ratio in the energy aspiration age. Almost all structure materials are supposed to suspend stress. Magnesium is quite sensitive to corrosive environment, and also sensitive to environmental assisted cracking. However, so far we have the limited knowledge about the environmental sensitive cracking of magnesium alloys. The corrosion fatigue (CF) test was conducted. Many factors' effects, like grain size, texture, heat treatment, loading frequency, stress ratio, strain rate, chemical composition of environment, pH value, relative humidity were investigated. The results showed that all these factors had obvious influence on the crack initiation and propagation. Especially the dependence of CF life on pH value and frequency is quite different to the other traditional structural metallic materials. In order to interpret the results, the electrochemistry tests by polarization dynamic curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were conducted with and without stress. The corrosion of magnesium alloys was also studied by in-situ observation in environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The corrosion rate changed with the wetting time during the initial corrosion process. The pre-charging of hydrogen caused crack initiated at $\beta$ phase, and with the increase of wetting time the crack propagated, implying that hydrogen produced by corrosion reaction participated in the process.

Development of high strength steel requires proper understanding of hydrogen behavior since the higher the steel strength the greater the susceptibility of hydrogen assisted cracking. This paper provides a brief but broad overview on hydrogen entry and transport behavior of high-strength ferritic steels. First of all, hydrogen absorption, diffusion and trapping mechanism of the steels are briefly introduced. Secondly, several experimental methods for analyzing the physical/chemical nature of hydrogen uptake and transport in the steels are reviewed. Among the methods, electrochemical permeation technique utilized widely for evaluating the hydrogen diffusion and trapping behavior in metals and alloys is mainly discussed. Moreover, a modified permeation technique accommodating the externally applied load and its application to a variety of steels are intensively explored. Indeed, successful utilization of the modified permeation technique equipped with a constant load testing device leads to significant academic progress on the hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) phenomenon of the steels. In order to show how the external and/or residual stress affects mechanical instability of steel due to hydrogen ingress, the relationship among the microstructure, hydrogen permeation, and HAC susceptibility is briefly introduced.

The aim of this study was to develop a new in-situ observation method and instrument in micro-scale to investigate the mechanism of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiation of Ni-base alloys in a high temperature water environment of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). A laser confocal microscope (LCM), an autoclave with diamond window view port, and a slow strain-rate tester with primary water circulation loop system were components of the instrument. Diamond window, one of the core components of the instrument, was selected based on its optical, chemical, and mechanical properties. LCM was used to observe the specimen in micro-scale, considering the experimental condition of a high-temperature primary water environment. Using in-situ method and instrument, it is possible to observe oxidation and deformation of specimen surface in micro-scale through the diamond window in a high-temperature primary water in real-time. The in-situ method and instrument developed in this work can be utilized to investigate effects of various factors on SCC initiation in a high-temperature water environment.

고령토를 사용하여 합성한 faujasite형 zeolite를 $Zn^{2+},\;La^{3+},\;H^+(NH_4^+)$로 양이온 교환하고 Na-, Zn-, La- 및 H-faujasite의 1-butene의 분해 및 이성화반응에 대한 촉매활성을 조사하였다. $1-Butene{\rightarrow}2-butene$ 반응은 강한 산점이 별로 없는 zeolite에서도 쉽게 일어난다. Isobutene생성에 대한 활성은 La > H > Zn > Na-faujasite의 순으로 La-faujasite가 가장 컸다. Propylene 생성에 대한 활성도 같은 경향을 나타냈으나 여기서는 La-와 H-faujasite의 활성이 거의 같은 정도이었다. 본 실험결과를 보면 zeolite의 산성도(산의 강도 및 량)는 1-butene의 분해 및 이성화 반응에 대한 활성과 직접적인 관계가 있는 것 같다.

The water radiolysis in-core at light water reactors (LWRs) produces various radicals with other ionic species/molecules and radioactive nitrogen species in the reactor coolant. Nitrogen species can exist in many different chemical forms and recirculate in water and steam, and consequently contribute to what extent the environmental safety at nuclear power plants. Therefore, a clear understanding of formation kinetics and chemical behaviors of nitrogen species under irradiation is crucial for better insight into the characteristics of major radioactive species released to the main steam or relevant coolant systems and eventually development of advanced processes/methodologies to enhance the environmental safety at nuclear power plants. This paper thus focuses on basic principles on electrochemical interaction kinetics of radiolytic molecules and various nitrogen species in high temperature water, fundamental approaches for calculating thermodynamic values to predict their stability and domain in LWRs, and the effect of nitrogen species on crevice chemistry/corrosion and intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) susceptibility of structure materials in high temperature water.
