幌延深地層研究センターの地下施設周辺岩盤の応力場を把握するため、250m小型試錐座(南)から直径76mm、長さ20mのボーリング孔である10-E250-M01孔(水平)、10-E250-M02孔(水平)および10-E250-M03孔(傾斜)を掘削し、水圧破砕法による3次元初期地圧測定を実施した。10-E250-M01孔では、ボーリング孔まわりの応力集中によって生じたブレイクアウトと考えられる連続的な破壊が孔壁に沿って認められた。ブレイクアウトの発生位置は、初期地圧によるボーリング孔まわりの応力集中を反映した孔壁の応力状態によって主に支配されるので、初期地圧の評価に利用することができる。そこで、3本のボーリング孔の31深度でおこなった水圧破砕試験のうち、16深度で測定されたき裂に作用する法線応力および10-E250-M01孔の3深度で測定されたボアホールブレイクアウトの破壊中央位置から初期地圧を評価した。調査地点の初期地圧状態は、最大主応力は方向がほぼEW方向からENE方向で水平に近いと評価され、その値は3.97MPaであった。この最大主応力の方向は、10-E250-M01孔で生じたブレイクアウトの位置および10-E250-M03孔で生じた縦き裂の方向から考えて合理的であった。

Hierarchical microstructure of pearlite and martensite in steel is caused by internal stress due to phase transformation. If internal stress can be quantitatively evaluated and controlled, new microstructure control technology will be created. However, internal stress due to eutectoid transformation is not easy to measure because thermal stress and transformation stress are superimposed. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the internal stress evolved from pearlitic transformation by In-situ neutron diffraction technique. A pearlitic steel of 0.8C-1.5Mn wt.% was used in this study, and the following thermal process was performed; the solution heat treatment at 1323K for 1.8ks followed by immediate the isothermal heat treatment at 873K for 1.8 ks to obtain a predominantly pearlitic structure included lamellar ferrite and cementite. The austenitic-to-pearlitic transformation during the thermal process was monitored with a TAKUMI neutron diffractometer at J-PARC-MLF. The Rietveld refinements of diffraction patterns were performed using Z-Rietveld software to track the phase fractions and the lattice parameters. The elastic strains state of the ferrite and the austenite phases at 873K were observed from the evolutions of the lattice constants of ferrite and the austenite during pearlitic transformation. In particular, the cubical expansion during the transformation derived the hydrostatic pressure and resulted a compressive elastic strain in ferrite. On the other hand, the elastic strains state in cementite that was predicted by an amount of internal stress relaxation during thermal aging after pearlitic transformation, was approximately -0.28%. These results show that internal stresses during transformation can be quantitatively evaluated using in-situ neutron diffraction method.
