Abstract
고온과 부식 환경에서 사용되는 용강운반용 철강구조물은 내화재에서 발생하는 가스에 의해 구조물 두께의 감소와 가스배출구 주변부의 확장 등이 일어나며, 이로 인해 구조물 전반에 걸쳐 응력이 증가하고 특히 가스배출구 주변에는 상당한 응력집중이 발생한다. 또한 구조물의 고온 환경은 소재의 항복강도나 인장강도와 같은 기계적 물성의 열화를 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들은 구조물 안전에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 10년 정도 사용한 구조물에 대하여 응력해석과 기계적 물성을 측정하여 열화 정도를 평가하였다. 구조물의 기계적 물성은 계장화압입시험법을 이용하여 구조물 표면에서 직접 측정하였다. Because a molten steel carrier is used in high-temperature and corrosive environments, erosion and corrosion decrease the thickness of the structure and expand the vent hole for emitting gas generated from refractory bricks. This increases the stress throughout the structure and introduces a significant stress concentration around the vent hole. In addition, the high-temperature environment degrades mechanical properties such as the yield and tensile strengths. These problems seriously affect the safety of the structure. In this study, the safety of a 10-year-old structure was evaluated by analyzing the stress distribution and measuring the mechanical properties of the structure. The mechanical properties were directly measured on the structure surface using the instrument indentation technique.
