Abstract

pellets were fabricated as a reactor control material by the powder process. Sinterability of $Dy_2O_3+TiO_2$ mixtures and phases of solid solutions were analyzed by using TMA and XRD, respectively. The thermal conductivity of pellet was determined from the measurement data of the specific heat and the thermal diffusivity of the pellet. The sinterability and the sintered density varied as a function of Dy content in $Dy_xTi_yO_z$. The pellet of $3\;g\;Dy/cm^3\;Dy_xTi_yO_z$ melted in the sintering temperature of $1580{\circ}C$. There were two phases of $Dy_2TiO_5+Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and a single phase of $Dy_2TiO_5$ for the pellet that has the Dy content of and , respectively. The thermal conductivity of $Dy_xTi_yO_z$ was nearly constant in the temperature range of $25~600{\circ}$. It was 1.69~1.78 W/mK for the pellet sintered in and 1.49~1.55 W/mK for the pellet sintered in $1550{\circ}$.

산화물 제어봉 물질로서 $Dy_xTi_yO_z$ 소결체를 powder process에 의해 제조하였다. $Dy_2O_3+TiO_2$ 혼합분말의 소결성과 고용체의 상을 TMA와 XRD로써 각각 분석하였으며, 소결체의 비열과 열확산계수를 측정하여 열전도도를 구하였다. $Dy_xTi_yO_z$에서 Dy의 함량에 따라 소결성과 밀도가 변하였고 $3\;g\;Dy/cm^3\;Dy_xTi_yO_z$의 경우 $1580{\circ}C$의 소결온도에서 용융이 일어났다. $4.00\;g\;Dy/cm^3$ 소결체에는 $Dy_2TiO_5+Dy_2Ti_2O_7$의 두 상이 존재하며 $4.54\;g\;Dy/cm^3$의 경우 $Dy_2TiO_5$의 단일 상만이 존재하는 결과를 보였다. $Dy_xTi_yO_z$의 열전도도는 $25~600{\circ}C$ 범위에서 온도에 따라 큰 변화가 없으며 $1600{\circ}C$ 소결체가 1.69∼1.78 W/mK, 1550$^{\circ}C$ 소결체의 경우에는 1.49~1.55 W/mK이었다.
