Sliding wear tests have been carried out in room temperature air and water in order to compare the wear resistance of Zr-xNb-xSn alloys of various alloying elements (Nb and Sn). The main focus was to quantitatively compare the wear properties of the recently developed Zr-xNb-xSn alloys with the commercial ones using the evaluation parameters of the wear resistance with the consideration of the worn area. As a result, the recently developed alloys had a similar wear resistance compared with the commercial ones. The dominant factor governing the wear resistance was the protruded volume of the wear debris that was formed on the worn area in the air condition, but the accommodation of the plastic deformation on the contact area in water. In addition, the worn area size appeared to be very different depending on the tested alloys. To evaluate the wear resistance of each test specimen, the ratio of the wear volume or the protruded volume to the worn area ($D_e$ or $D_p$) is investigated and proposed as the evaluation parameters of the wear resistance.

In this study, recrystallization behaviors in the two-phase (${\alpha}+{\gamma}$) region of micro-alloyed steels such as Base, Nb, TiNbV and CAlN were investigated in terms of flow stress, microstructure and associated grain boundary characteristics. The flow stress of all specimens reached peak stress and gradually decreased, which means that recrystallization or recovery of proeutectoid deformed ferrite and recovery or transformation to ferrite of deformed austenite occurred by thermal activation. The precipitation of carbide or nitride via the addition of micro-alloying elements, because it reduced prior austenite grain size upon austenitization, promoted transformation of austenite to ferrite and increased flow stress. The strain-induced precipitation under deformation in the two-phase region, on the other hand, increased the flow stress when the micro-alloying elements were dissolved during austenitization. The recrystallization of the Nb specimen was more effectively retarded than that of the TiNbV specimen during deformation in the two-phase region.

본 연구에서는 $BaTiO_3$를 기본 조성으로 하여 PTC 써미스터를 제조하였으며 여기에 첨가제로서 Ca, Mn, Nb의 양을 순차적으로 변화시켜 미세구조 및 전기적 특성을 연구하였다. 또한 복소 임피던스 측정을 통해서 PTC 효과에 미치는 주 저항 성분에 대해서 고찰하였다. Ca 첨가 실험에서는 5[mol%] 첨가된 시편에서 $2.3{\times}10^7[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$의 높은 peak 비저항이 나왔으며 Mn과 Nb에서는 각각 0.1[mol%], 0.2[mol%]에서 $1.5{\times}10^8[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$와 $3.71{\times}10^9[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$의 수치가 측정되었다. 또한 Nb 첨가 실험에서는 첨가량이 증가할수록 결정립의 크기가 조밀해지는 현상을 보였다. PTC 효과에 미치는 주 저항 요소에 대해서 관찰한 복소 임피던스 측정에서는 결정립계 저항 성분이 주가 됨을 확인 하였다.

A spin valve structure of NiO(40 nm)/Co(2 nm)/Cu(2.6 nm)/Co(x nm)/Ta(5 nm) has been investigated for the application of magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The spin valve structure exhibited very large difference in the coercivities between pinned and free layers, a relatively high GMR ratio, and a low free layer coercivity. The spin valves were prepared by sputtering and were characterized by dc 4-point probe, and VSM. The spin valves with combined free layer exhibited a maximun GMR ratio of 10.4% with a free layer coercivity of about 82 Oe. The spin valves with a single 10 nm thick a-CoNbZr free layer exhibited a GMR ratio of about 4.3% with a free layer coercivity of about 12 Oe. The GMR ratio of the spin valves increased by addition of Co between Cu and a-CoNbZr. It has been confirmed that the coercivity of free layer can be decreased by increasing the thickness of a-CoNbZr. It has been confirmed that the coercivity of free layer can be decreased by increasing the thickness of a-CoNbZr layer without losing the GMR ratio substantially, which was mainly due to high resistivity of the amorphous "layers".

Mg and Mg-based alloys are regarded as strong candidate hydrogen storage materials since their hydrogen capacity exceeds that of known metal hydrides. One of the approaches to improve kinetic is addition of metal oxide. In this paper, we tried to improve the hydrogenation properties of Mg-based hydrogen storage composites. The effect of transition metal oxides, such as $Nb_2O_5$ on the kinetics of the Magnesium hydrogen absorption kinetics was investigated. $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ composites have been synthesized by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying. The powder fabricated was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (Fe-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), BET and simultaneous Thermo Gravimetric Analysis / Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG/DSC) analysis. The Absorption / desorption kinetics of $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ (type I and II) are determined at 423, 473, 523, 573 and 623 K.

유전율이 높고 온도안정성이우수하다고 알려져 있는 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3-Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 계 세라믹스를 산화물혼합법 및 precursor방법으로 제조함에 있어 과잉 MgO의 첨가에 따른 미세구조와 유전특성의 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. MgO를 5mol%이상 과잉첨가하여 100$0^{\circ}C$에 소결한 시편의 유전율은 5000이상이고, -55$^{\circ}C$에서 1$25^{\circ}C$범위에서 변화율은 +25%에서 -5$0^{\circ}C$ 정도를 나타냈다. XRD 분석결과 perovskite상과 Pb2WO5 결정이 주된상이었으며, 소결온도 및 MgO 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 cubic pyrochlore상인 Pb3Nb4O13와 PbWO4는 감소하였다. SEM에 의한 미세구조의 관찰에서 MgO첨가량이 증가함에 따라 결정성장이 촉진되는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이것이 소결온도 증가에 따른 pyrochlore상의 감소와 함께 유전율을 증가시키는 원인이었다. BSE관찰에서 화학성분 분포의 불균일성이 나타났으며, 각각의 소결온도에서 생성되는 결정상과 함께 유전율의 온도의존성을 완만하게 만드는 원인임을 알 수 있었다.

0.4wt% C을 함유하는 기존의 기계구조용 탄소강에 V과 Nb을 단독 또는 복합으로 첨가한 열간단조용 비조질강의 기계적 성질을 조사하고, 미세조직과 셔출물의 분포 및 형상을 관찰하였으며 첨가원소의 영향을 정량화 하기 위해 중회귀분석을 행하였다. 인장시험 결과 모든 재료의 인장강도는 $70kg/\textrm{mm}^2$ 이상으로 기존의 소입.소려재(S45C)와 동등하거나 그 이상이었으며, 충격시험 결과 대부분 재료의 충격에너지는 40J 이하로 기존 재료의 약 50%정도였 다. V함량이 0.10에서 0.l5wt%로 증가하였을 경우 인장강도는 약 20% 증가하였으나 충격에너지는 감소하였다. 이는 VC의 미세석출에 의해 석출강화 효과와 함께 펄라이트의 부피분율이 증가하고 층간거리가 감소했기 때문이다. 반면 Nb 함량이 0.05에서 0.10wt%로 증가한 경우에는 강도와 인성의 근소한 증가경향을 나타내었다. 이는 NbC의 석출애 의한 결정립 미세화 효과가 VC 보다 우세했기 때문이다. 또한 V+Nb의 복합첨가는 단독첨가시에 비하여 충격인성의 향상에 보다 효과적이었으며, 본 실험에서 최적 강도와 인성의 조합을 보인 합금조성은 0.4C-1.19Mn-0.05S-0.12V-0.07Nb로 인장강도는 $84kg/\textrm{mm}^2$ 이상, 충격인성은 34J 이상이었다.

In this study, the effect of $Nb_2O_5$ and sintering time on the positive temperature of coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) behavior of lead free $Ba_{0.99}(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.01}TiO_3$ (BBNT) ceramics were investigated in order to fabricate a PTC thermistor with high $T_c$ temperature more than $140^{\circ}C$. In particular, BBNT ceramic doped with 0.1mol% $Nb_2O_5$ and sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ for 4 h has significantly increased Curie temperature ($T_c$) of about $200^{\circ}C$, showed good PTCR behavior of room-temperature resistivity ($\rho_{rt}$) of $40{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, a high $\rho_{max}/\rho_{min}$ ratio of $43.78{\times}10^3$ and a large resistivity temperature factor (${\alpha}$) of 16.1%/$^{\circ}C$. With increasing addition of $Nb_2O_5$ content, the $\rho_{rt}$ decreased to a minimum value of $40\;{\Omega}cm$ at 0.1mol% $Nb_2O_5$ and the $\rho_{rt}$ increased for x value over 0.1 mol%.

Nd 함유량을 4 at.%로 고정시킨 Nd-Fe-B 합금의 자기특성이 조사되었다. 급속응고된 $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ 합금은 열처리에 의하여 ${\alpha}-Fe$ 연자성기지에 석출되며, $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ 합금에 Mo, Nb, V 및 Cu의 첨가는 결정립을 미세화시켜 보자력을 향상시킨다. 그러나 ${\alpha}-Fe$ 결정립에 의한 각형성 열화는 잔류자화를 감소시킨다. $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}M_{3}Cu_{1}$(M = Mo, Nb, V) 합금에서 보자력은 M = V < Nb < Mo로 증가하며, M = Mo에서 2.7 kOe이고, 잔류자화는 M = Mo < Nb < V순으로 증가하며 M = V에서 1.35 T이다.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of the MoSi$_2$--based composites through the process of electric discharge drilling with various tubular electrodes. In addition to hardness characteristics, microstructures of Nb/MoSi$_2$laminate composites were evaluated from the variation of fabricating conditions, such as preparation temperature, applied pressure, and pressure holding time. MoSi$_2$-based composites have been developed in new materials for jet engines of supersonic-speed airplanes and gas turbines for high-temperature generators. These high performance engines may require new hard materials with high strength and high temperature-resistance. Also, with the exception of grinding, traditional machining methods are not applicable to these new materials. Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a thermal process that utilizes a spark discharge to melt a conductive material. The tool electrode is almost -unloaded, because there is n direct contact between the tool electrode and the work piece. By combining a non-conducting ceramic with more conducting ceramic, it was possible to raise the electrical conductivity. From experimental results, it was found that the lamination from Nb sheet and MoSi$_2$ powder was an excellent strategy to improve hardness characteristics of monolithic MoSi$_2$. However, interfacial reaction products, like (Nb, Mo)SiO$_2$and Nb$_2$Si$_3$formed at the interface of Nb/MoSi$_2$, and increased with fabricating temperature. MoSi$_2$composites, with which a hole drilling was not possible through the conventional machining process, enhanced the capacity of ED-drilling by adding MbSi$_2$, relative to that of SiC or ZrO$_2$reinforcements.
