Zr합금의 재결정에 미치는 Sn, V, Sb의 영향을 조사하기 위해 2원계와 3원계로 구성된 12종의 Zr합금에 대하여 미세 조직 관찰 및 경도 측정을 실시하였다. 고진공 분위기의 여러 온도 조건에서 열처리된 시편의 미세조직을 편광광학현미경으로 관찰하였고 미소경도계로 경도값을 측정하였다. 미세조직 사진을 관찰한 결과 열처리 온도가 올라감에 따라 약 50$0^{\circ}C$ 까지는 가공조직을 그대로 유지하다가 첨가원소에 따라 다소 차이는 있었지만 55$0^{\circ}C$ ~ $700^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 재결정이 완료되었다. 재결정이 일어난 후에는 첨가원소의 첨가량이 적은 합금의 경우 결정립이 급격히 성장하는 모습을 보였다. 온도에 따른 경도값의 측정으로 재결정 거동을 확실히 핑가할 수 있었으며 경도값의 변화와 미세조직 변화는 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같이 첨가원소가 증가함에 따라 재결정이 늦어지고 결정립이 미세화 되는 것은 첨가원소의 대부분이 석출물로 형성되어 각 합금의 재결정과 결정립 성장을 억제하기 때문이라고 사료된다.

To investigate the effects of V and Sb on the recrystallization of Zr-0.8Sn alloy, the microstructure of heat-treated specimens was observed by optical microscope, SEM, and TEM. Microhardness tests were also carried out for the annealed specimens. From microstructural studies, the V or Sb additions were found to delay recrystallization process as well as grain growth. Especially, Sb was more effective in delaying the recrystallization. This delay of recrystallization and grain growth by V or Sb additions may be due to the interference in the movement of dislocation and crystal interface by V or Sb precipitates.

Recrystallization behaviors of cold-worked and $\beta$-quenched Zr-Zn alloys were investigated by the microhardness tests and microscopic examinations. The recrystallization of the $\beta$-quenched alloys was retarded in comparison with that of the cold-worked alloys, suggesting that the stored energy of the cold-worked alloys is larger than that of the $\beta$-quenched alloys. Although initial hardness for the cold-worked and the $\beta$-quenched specimens had an equal value, the recrystallization behaviors were observed to be quite different. Based on the transmission electron microscope(TEM) studies, it was suggested that the recrystallization of the cold-worked specimen would have occurred by subgrain coalescence while that of $\beta$-quenched specimen by strain-induced grain boundary migration.

To investigate the effects of the addition of Nb and Sn on the recrystallization of Zr- Sn-Nb alloys, both Vickers micro-hardness test and TEP measurement were carried out on cold-worked specimens annealed at various temperatures from $300^{\circ}C$ to 75$0^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of heat treated specimens were analyzed by optical microscope, SEM, and TEM. The study of microhardness and microstructures showed that both recrystallization process and grain growth were retarded as the activation energy was increased by the addition of Nb and Sn. Especially, the addition of Sn was more effective on retarding recrystallization. Precipitates were formed more easily when Nb was added because the solubility of Nb into Zr is lower than that of Sn. However, the recrystallization process was affected more by Sn than Nb because the strain field formed by substitutional Sn repressed the dislocation movement. TEP was increased due to the decrease of electron scattering as recovery and recrystallization were proceeded and saturated when the recrystallization completed. However, when precipitates formed, TEP was increased because the decrease of solute concentration near the precipitates caused the decrease of electron scattering.

To investigate the effect of Sn on the recrystallization of Zr-based alloys. Zr-xSn (x=0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0wt.%) alloys were manufactured to be the sheets through the defined manufacturing procedure. The specimens were annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The hardness, microstructure and precipitate of the alloys with the annealing temperature were investigated by using micro- knoop hardness tester, optical microscope(O/M) and transmission electron microscope(TEM), respectively. The cold-worked Zr-xSn alloys showed the typical behavior of the recovery. recrystallization, and grain growth. The recrystallization of Zr-xSn alloys occurred between $500^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$. As the Sn content increased. the recrystallization temperature of the cold-worked alloys increased but their grain sizes after recrystallization decreased. It is suggested that the recrystallization of the cold- worked Zr alloys be occurred by the subgrain coalescence and growth mechanism.

첨가원소에 따른 지르코늄합금의 재결정화 거동이 조사되었다. Zr-1.0 wt.% Nb-04 wt% Sn 합금에 V, Mo 및 Fe의 소량첨가원소를 각각 0.3 wt. % 첨가시켜 판재로 가공후 500-600 $^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 시간에 따른 경도변화 및 미세조직변화를 추적하였다. Fe가 첨가안된 Zr-1.0 wt.% Nb-0.4 wt.% Sn 합금과의 재결정현상을 비교할 때, 0.22 wt.%의 Fe의 첨가는 지르코늄합금의 재결정을 가속화시켰다. 그러나 소량의 V 또는 Mo의 첨가는 지르코늄합금의 재결정을 더디게 하였으며, 경도의 증가를 야기시켰다. 본연구결과는 지르코늄합금에 미소첨가되는 Fe가 지르코늄의 격자확산 및 치환확산을 가속한다는 것을 확증적으로 보여주는 것으로 중성자 조사조건에서 증폭해서 나타나는 조사성장, 부식, 크립등의 여러가지 현상들 (irradiation induced phenomena)도 미소첨가된 Fe의 재배열과 관계가 있는것으로 사료된다.

Two laboratory-melt heats of 3.25 silicon-iron were made and processed according to a normal commercial practice. Some of the important processing variables that were studied in relation to secondary recrystallization and texture development were contents of manganese and sulfur, heat-treatments after hot-rolling that were used to achieve different hot-rolled microstructures, and amounts of second cold-reduction. The main effort of the present study was directed toward elucidating the relationships among the amount of second cold-reduction, activation energies associated with secondary recrystallization and texture development. The specimens that had been cold-reduced 10% exhibited only grain growth by strain-induced grain boundary migration and did not exhibit secondary recrystallization. Secondary recrystallization did rot appear to completely occur in the 30% cold-reduced specimens, although the nucleation for secondary recrystallization was observed. The second cold-reduction in an amount of 50% was shown to be the optimun for secondary recrystallization and texture development by subsequent processing.

The recovery and recrystallization behavior of cold-rolled Zr-based alloys during isothermal annealing at temperatures from $575^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$ was studied by thermoelectric power and Vickers microhardness measurement. The recovery and recrystallization resulted in the increase of TEP doe to the extinction of lattice defect, vacancy, dislocation and stacking fault during isothermal annealing after cold- rolling. The completion of recrystallization could be determined much clearly by TEP behavior than by microhardness change in Zr-based alloys. Especially, the recovery and recrystallization were classified separately by TEP behavior in Zr-0.4Nb-xSn alloys. From the analysis of TEP behavior and microhardness, the addition of Sn caused to form the interaction between stain field and dislocation, which resulted in the delay of recovery in Zr-based alloys. The precipitation due the addition of Nb suppressed the grain growth after recrystallization effectively in Zr-based alloys.
