Sliding wear mechanism of a high nitrogen austenitic 18Cr-18Mn-2Mo-0.9N steel has been investigated. Dry sliding wear tests of the steel were carried out at various loads of 1N-10N under a constant sliding speed condition of 0.15m/s against AISI 52100 bearing steel balls. Solution $(1050^{\circ}C)$ and isothermal aging $(900^{\circ}C)$ heat treatments were performed on the steel and the effect of the heat treatments on the wear were investigated. Wear rates of the solution-treated steel specimen remained low until 5N, and then increased abruptly at loads above 5N. The rates of isothermally aged specimens were low and increased gradually with the applied load. Worn surfaces, their cross sections, and wear debris of the steel specimens were examined with a scanning electron microscopy. Phases of the heat-treated specimen and the wear debris were identified using XRD. Phases transformed underneath the sliding track during the wear were investigated and analyzed using TEM. Effects of the phase transformation during the wear and $Cr_2N$ precipitates formed during the isothermal aging on the wear of the austenitic steel were discussed.

Cr-Mo 합금강은 고온 환경 하에서 높은 크리이프 강도와 우수한 내식성 때문에 발전설비, 석유 화학, 그리고 해양산업과 같은 여러 산업분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, Cr-Mo 강의 내식성은 합금 내 Cr 함량에 크게 의존한다. 이는 고온에서 Cr과 O가 화학적 반응을 일으킴에 따라 보호성의 Cr 산화스케일을 형성하기 때문이다. 그러나 화석연료를 사용하는 발전설비의 경우, $SO_2$가 포함된 강한 부식성의 연소 가스가 배출되며, 이에 노출된 금속의 표면에서는 산화와 황화가 동시에 발생한다. 황화스케일은 산화스케일에 비해 매우 빠르게 성장하며, 그 특성이 매우 취약하기 때문에 황화 환경에서 금속의 내식성 및 기계적 물성치는 보다 크게 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화력 발전소의 증기발생용 튜브 재료인 9Cr-1MoVNb 강을 선정하였으며, $SO_2$ 가스 환경 하에서의 부식 및 기계적 물성치 저하 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 9Cr-1MoVNb강의 화학 성분 조성은 0.1 C, 0.38 Si, 0.46 Mn, 0.25 Ni, 8.38 Cr, 0.93 Mo, 0.18 V, 0.09 Nb, 그리고 나머지는 Fe이다. 부식시험은 가공된 미소시험편과 인장시험편을 전기열처리로에 장입한 후, $650^{\circ}C$에서 $N_2+O_2+O_2+SO_2$ 조성의 가스를 분당 50 CC로 흘려주었다. 제작된 시험편에 대한 부식거동은 무게 증가량, optical microscope, scanning electron microsope, 그리고 energy dispersive x-ray spectrum을 통해 평가하였다. 그리고 기계적 물성치 평가를 위한 인장시험은 분당 2mm 변위제어를 통해 실시하였다. 그 결과, 9Cr-1MoVNb 강은 $SO_2$ 가스 환경 하에서 비 보호적인 Fe-풍부상의 산화 스케일층이 두껍게 형성됨에 따라 열악한 내식성을 나타냈다. 그에 따라 기계적 물성치는 저하되는 경향을 나타내었다.

Airborne concentrations of welding fumes in which 13 different metals such as Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Si, Sn, Ti, and Zn were analyzed were measured at 18 factories including automobile assembly and manufactures, steel heavy industries and shipyards. Air samples were collected by personal sampler at each worker's worksite(n=339). Blood levels of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn were also measured from samples taken from 447 welders by atomic absorption spectrometry and compared with control values obtained from 127 non-exposed workers. The results were as follows ; 1. Among various welding types, $CO_2$ welding 70.2 % were widely used, shielded metal arc welding(SMAW) 22.1 % came next, and rest of them were metal inert gas(MIG) welding, submerged arc welding(SAW), spot welding(SPOT) and tungsten inert gas(TIG) welding. 2. Welding fume concentration was $0.92mg/m^3$($0.02{\sim}15.33mg/m^3$) at automobile assembly and manufactures, $4.10mg/m^3$($0.02{\sim}70.75mg/m^3$) at steel heavy industries and $5.59mg/m^3$($0.30{\sim}91.16mg/m^3$) at shipyards, respectively, showing significant difference among industry types. Workers exposed to high concentration of welding fumes above Korean Permissible Exposure Limit(KPEL) amounted to 7.9 % and 12.5 %, in $CO_2$ welding and in SMAW at automobile assembly and manufactures and 62.7 % in $CO_2$ welding, and 12.5 % in SMAW at shipyards, and 66.2 % in $CO_2$ welding and 70.6 % in SMAW at steel heavy industries. 3. Geometric mean of airborne concentration of each metal released from welding fumes was below one 10th of KPEL in all welding types. Percentage of workers, however, exposed to airborne concentration of metals above KPEL amounted to 16.8 % in Mn and 7.6 % in Fe in $CO_2$ welding; 37.5 % in Cu in SAW, 30 % in Cu in TIG; and 25 % in Pb in SPOT welding. As a whole, 76 Workers(22.4%) were exposed to high concentration of any of the metals above KPEL. 4. There were differences in airborne concentration of metals such as Al, Cd, Cr, Cu. Fe. Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Si, Sn, Ti and Zn by industry types. These concentrations were higher in shipyards and steel heavy industries than in automobile assembly and manufactures. Workers exposed to higher concentration of Pb above KPEI amounted to 7.4 % of workers(7/94) in automobile assembly and manufactures. In shipyards, 19.2 % of workers(19/99) were over-exposed to Mn and 7.1 % (7/99) to Fe above KPEL. In steel heavy industries, 14.4 %(21/146), 7.5 %(11/146) and 13 %(19/146) were over-exposed to Mn, Fe and Cu, respectively. As a whole, 76 out of 339 workers(22.4%) were exposed to any of the metals above KPEL. 5. Blood levels of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn in welders were $0.11{\mu}g/100m{\ell}$, $0.84{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $424.4{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $1.26{\mu}g/100m{\ell}$, $5.01{\mu}g/100m{\ell}$ and $5.68{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, in contrast to $0.09{\mu}g/100m{\ell}$, $0.70{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $477.2{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $0.73{\mu}g/100m{\ell}$, $3.14{\mu}g/100m{\ell}$ and $6.15{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in non-exposed control groups, showing significantly higher values in welders but Fe and Zn.
