The characteristics of Nb3Sn strands shich will be used for the been investigated. The physics requirements for the KSTAR operation demands the two conditions, high non-Cu critical current density and low contradictory to each other. It is recent that superconductor manufacturers. IGC and Mitsubishi, have succeded in the production of the strand which satisfies the ITER HP-1 and HP-2 conditions at the same time. It has been determined that this type of strand, so-called HP-3, will be used for the KSTAR magnets and its properties, critical current density and hysteresis loss investigated by the several institutes are presented here. On the basis of the round robin tests for many strand samples under various optimized and the vendor will be seleted.

Donor dopant로 WO3, Ta2O5 및 Nb2O5를 첨가한 Zr0.8Sn0.2TiO4 세라믹스의 유전상수 $\varepsilon$r 품 질계수 Q 및 공진주파수의 온도계수 rf에 대하여 연구하였다. 139$0^{\circ}C$에서 32시간 소결시 donor dopant 첨가량에 따른 ZST의 유전상수는 소결밀도의 변화 거동과 잘 일치하였다. 5.5 GHz에서 측정 한 ZST의 품질계수 Q는 ~0.5 mol% WO3 Ta2O5 및 Nb2O5 첨가에 의해 6800에서 8500 정도로 증가 하였다. ZST의 $\tau$f는 0.3 mol%까지의 WO3 첨가량 증가에 따라 0 ppm/$^{\circ}C$에서 -4.6 ppm/$^{\circ}C$까지 음 의 값으로 직선적으로 감소하였으며 0.4 mol% 범위의 Ta2O5 및 Nb2O5 첨가에 의해 -7 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ 까지 직선적으로 감소하였다.

The stability of superconducting wires was studied by considering temperature and magnetic field. We measured critical current density of $Nb_3Sn$ tape at 4.2 K, 12 K, 13 K and 14 K in various field. The critical current density at 4.2 K, 6 T is 16.5 times higher than at 12 K, 6 T. We expressed the critical current density as a function of temperature and magnetic field, expanding on work by Hampshire, et al.

The joints with multi-interfaces was expected to have low DC resistance compared with those with single interface. The small size joint specimens joined with Nb3Sn sub-cables were fabricated to investi-gate the DC performance in the range of 0 to 600A transport current without external magnetic field. The joints with multi-interfaces have a few n-Ohm resistance, which is much lower than that of single lap joint. Because the interfaces between sub-cables of multi-interfaced joint are more complicated than those of single-interfaced joint, the soldering condition between sub-cables is very effective on the joint DC resistance.

원자력 발전소의 핵연료 피복관 재료로 사용되고 있는 Zr합금의 부식특성에 미치는 Sn의 영향을 조사하기 위해 Sn 함량을 0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0wt.%로 조절한 Zr-xSn 2원계 합금과 Zr-0.4Nb-xSn 3원계 합금을 제조하여 36$0^{\circ}C$ 물 분위기의 mini-autoclave에서 부식실험을 수행하였다. 2원계 합금에서 Sn이 0.5, 0.8, 1.5wt.% 첨가된 합금에서는 15일에서 속도천이가 발생한 후 급격한 부식 가속 현상이 나타났으나, 2.0wt.%가 첨가된 합금에서는 100일까지 부식 실험에서도 천이 현상을 보이지 않는 매우 높은 부식 저항성을 보였다. 그러나 3원계 합금에서는 2원계 합금과는 달리 40일 시험에서도 모든 합금들이 속도 천이 현상을 보이지 않고 천이전 영역에서의 부식 거동을 보이며, Sn 함량 변화에 따른 부식 속도의 차이를 감지할 수 없었다. 이러한 경향은 2원계 합금과 3원계 합금에서 Sn의 고용도 차, 미량 첨가된 Nb의 영향 및 석출물의 특성과 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 수소 흡수율면에서도 Sn 함량 변화에 따라 부식 거동과 비슷한 경향을 보이면서 2.0wt.%에서 가장 낮은 수소흡수율을 보였다 천이전 영역에서 산화막 구조 관찰 결과 천이전 영역의 모든 산화막에서 보호적 성질을 나타내는 tetragonal-ZrO$_2$가 관찰되었는데, tetragonal-ZrO$_2$의 분율은 Sn 함량에 따라 거의 같게 나타났다.

The Zr-0.2Sn-0.8Nb-X(X = 0~200ppm Si, 0~0.4wt.% Mo and Mn respectively) ingots for test specimens were manufactured by a vacuum arc re-melting method to find out the effect of Si, Mo, and Mn on the corrosion characteristics of the Zr-0.2Sn-0.8Nb alloy. After being heat-treated and rolled repeatedly out to be flat materials, they were finally heat-treated at 51$0^{\circ}C$ for three hours and used as the specimens for corrosion tests. The corrosion behavior of the specimens was studied in both 40$0^{\circ}C$ steam for 200 days and in aqueous 70 ppm LiOH solution at 36$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. From the study it was found that Si from 80 to 200 ppm contributed to increasing the corrosion resistance of Zr-0.2Sn-0.8Nb alloy in both steam and LiOH solution. This study also showed that Mn from 0.1 to 0.4% caused to go up the corrosion resistance, whereas Mo played a apart in improving the corrosion resistance only between 0.05 and 0.2 wt.%.

Lead-free $0.94(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.06Ba$(Ti_{0.9}Sn_{0.1})O_3$ [0.94NKN-0.06BTS] ceramics doped with 1 mol% $MnO_2$ were synthesized by a conventional solid state method. The phase transitional behavior and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics sintered at various temperatures were investigated. The 0.94NKN-0.06BTS ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$, having morphotropic phase boundary of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, exhibited a microstructure with abnormal grain growth. A diffused phase transition behavior for all the specimens was verified as high degree of diffuseness (${\gamma}$) values from 1.45 to 1.79. A high piezoelectric constant of $d_{33}=256$ pC/N and a satisfactory electromechanical coupling factor of $k_p=42%$ were obtained for the relatively dense 0.94NKN-0.06BTS ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$.

As a participant taking part in the ITER TF conductor R&D program, we developed two toroidal field conductors with variations of conduit thickness resulting in the different void fraction of the conductors. The estimated void fractions of the conductors are 31% and 33%. In this paper we present the details of the TF conductor development and performance test results of them carried out by the measurement of current sharing temperature under cyclic loading. Regarding the conductor development, the internal-Sn-processed $Nb_3Sn$ strand characteristics, strand cabling, twist pitch and characteristics of the conduit materials are presented. For the understanding of the conductor design and performance, the conductor test results are presented and the effect of the conductor design parameters such as void fraction and twist pitch is discussed based on the results.

With the synthetic standards, valuable metals $(Ta_2O_5, Nb_2O_5, TiO_2, SnO_2$, and $ZrO_2$) in the tin slags have been determined by the x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The powder sample and the standards are homogeneously mixed with anhydrous $Li_2B_4O_7$ and La_2O_3$ in weight ratio of 15 : 42 : 3 respectively. The mixed material is fused at $1,150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to be changed into the glass bead. The bead is ground to (-) 325 mesh size and pelletized. The analytical results obtained in this work are consistent with the data obtained by other common methods within allowable error range. The standard deviation for $Ta_2O_5$ in PTS-H sample is 0.12 % at level of 3.40 % content.
