The magnet system of KSTAR(korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) is consisted of 16 TF (Toroidal Field) coils and 14 PF (Poroidal Field) coils. Internal cooling CICC(Cable in Conduit Conductor) type conductor is used for both of TF and PF coil systems. The conduit material for $Nb_3Sn$ cable is Incoloy 908 and 316LN stainless-steel was used as conduit material for NbTi cable. $Nb_3Sn$ CICC is used for all TF coils and PF1-5 coils while NbTi CICC is used for PF6 and 7 coils. $Nb_3Sn$ and NbTi strands were made for KSTAR superconducting strand. They are satisfied with KSTAR superconducotr requirements. The $Nb_3Sn$ strands supplied from three companies; MELCO (Mitsubishi Electric Co.), OAS (Outokumpu Advanced Superconductor) and KAT (Kiswire Advanced Technology) were used. A special CICC jacketing system is developed for the KSTAR CICC fabrication which uses the tube-mill process consisted of forming, welding, sizing and squaring procedures. The. procedures for cabling and jacketing of CICC for TF and PF coils and their results including the geometrical specification and characteristics of strands are described.

It was previously shown that AtNAP1 is a plastidic SufB protein involved in Fe-S cluster assembly in Arabidopsis. In this study, we investigated the effects of depleting SufB protein from plant cells using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). VIGS of NbNAP1 encoding a Nicotiana benthamiana homolog of AtNAP1 resulted in a leaf yellowing phenotype. NbNAP1 was expressed ubiquitously in plant tissues with the highest level in roots. A GFP fusion protein of the N-terminal region (M1-V103) of NbNAP1 was targeted to chloroplasts. Depletion of NbNAP1 resulted in reduced numbers of chloroplasts of reduced size. Mitochondria also seemed to be affected. Despite the reduced number and size of the chloroplasts in the NbNAP1 VIGS lines, the expression of many nuclear genes encoding chloroplast-targeted proteins and chlorophyll biosynthesis genes remained unchanged.

The reduction behavior of $Nb_2O_5$ in aluminum containing self-reducing briquettes(SRNB) was investigated. The time required for slag/metal equilibrium was estimated as about 20 minutes from the addition of SRNB on to the surface of molten steel. The maximum yield of Nb was expected with the slag composition of $60\%CaO-40\%Al_2O_3$. When $CaCO_3$ was used as a flux, the oxidation loss of Al by $CO_2$ should be compensated, and the chemical equivalent ratio of Al to $Nb_2O_5$ of about 1.43 was required to maximize the yield of Nb.

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.

Ar+N$_{2}$ 가스분위기에서 반응성 스퍼터링법으로 제조된 Fe-Nb-B-N 박막의 미세구조 및 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. 질소첨가한 적정조성의 Fe-Nb-B-N 박막은 우수한 고주파 연자기 특성을 보였는데, 그 특성은 다음과 같다. 포화자화(4 .pi. M$_{s}$ )는 16.5 kG, 보자력(H$_{c}$)은 0.13 Oe, 1 MHz에서의 실효투자율은 약 5,000의 값을 나타내었다. 특히 실효투자율은 10 MHz까지 겨의 변화가 없었으며, 100 MHz에서도 약 2,000의 값을 보여 매우 우수한 고주파 특성을 가진 재료로 판단된다. 한편, 이러한 우수한 특성을 지닌 Fe-Nb-B-N 박막의 미세구조를 TEM으로 관찰한 결과, 적정 열처리온도인 590 .deg. C에서 열처리한 Fe-Nb-B-N 박막은 약 5 ~ 10 nm의 .alpha. -Fe phase, Nb-nitride의 석출물과 Nb-B rich 비정질상 등으로 이루어져 있음을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 N이 첨가되지 않은 Fe-Nb-B 박막의 경우에는 약 10 nm정도의 .alpha. -Fe결정립과 Nb-B rich 비정질상의 두가지 상으로 이루어져 있다. 따라서 N을 첨가한 경우에 더욱 미세한 .alpha. -Fe 결정립을 얻을 수 있음이 확인되었다. 이는 N 첨가로 인한 결정립의 미세화 효과 와 Nb-nitride 형성으로 인한 결정립 성장의 억제효과에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 Fe-Nb-B-N 박막의 우수한 연자기 특성은 결정립 미세화에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

The role of Nb addition in the tension and corrosion responses of ferrite-based stainless-steel sheets processed by cold-rolling and annealing treatment at 1173 °K was studied to evaluate the possibility for commercialization. For this purpose, the grain sizes in the samples with and without Nb content were controlled to be reasonably identical by utilizing different heat treatments within the specific range for 60 seconds. The corrosion properties of both samples were evaluated based on the analysis of polarization curves. Room-temperature tension testing showed that the strength of the sample with Nb was much higher than that without Nb whereas the elongation of the sample with Nb was slightly lower than that without Nb. The polarization curves revealed that the addition of Nb contributed to the significant improvement in protective capabilities. We thought that such combinational behavior was mainly due to the formation of niobium carbides found in the ferritic matrix.

Effects of V on both the formation of Ti-Nb-V carbonitrides and mechanical properties of Ti-Nb bearing low carbon HSLA steels were investigated. Hot rolling process was simulated by using Gleeble 3500 system with the steels containing three different levels of V ($0{\sim}0.1wt.%$). Vanadium precipitated as Ti-Nb-V carbonitrides at austenite region but it did not precipitate as VC during austenite to acicular ferrite or bainitic ferrite phase transformation. As V content increased, the amount of Nb precipitates was decreased but the average size of Ti-Nb-V carbonitrides was increased due to larger diffusivity of V than that of Nb. Coarsened Ti-Nb-V carbonitrides could act as heterogeneous nucleation site during ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\alpha}$ phase transformation, thus, acicular ferrite transformation was promoted as V content increased, resulting in increase of upper shelf energy.

다발체 형성과 인발 공정으로 제조된 Cu-Nb 필라멘트 미세복합재료의 기계적 전기적 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. Nb의 함량이 증가함에 따라 강도는 점차 증가하였으나 연성은 Nb의 함량에 무관하였다. 293K와 75K에서의 항복강도의 비율은 Cu-Nb 미세복합재료의 Young의 계수 비율과 비슷하게 관찰되었다. 이러한 사실은 주로 장범위 방해물(athermal obstacles)들이 Cu-Nb 마세복합재료의 강도에 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다. 파면 조직관찰 결과는 Cu-Nb 미세복합재료는 Nb의 함량에 판관계없이 연성파괴의 특성을 나타내었으며, 부전선재 (subelematal wires)사이의 계면을 따라 발생하는 2차크랙 (secondary crack) 의 양은 Nb 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 전기 전도도와 비저항비 (${\rho}_{293k}/{rho}_{75k}$)는 Nb 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 이와 같은 Nb함량에 따른 전기전도도와 비저항비의 감소는 계면산란의 기여도가 증가하였기 때문이다.

In order to study the interfacial reaction between Nb thin sheet and Fe-C-(Si) alloy with different Chemical compositions, they were cast-bonded. The growth of carbide layer formed at the interface after isothermal heat treatment at 1173K, 1223K, 1273K and 1323K for various times was investigated. The carbide formed at the interface was NbC and the thickness of NbC layer was increased linearly in proportional to the heat treating time. Therefore, It was found that the growth of NbC layer was controlled by the interfacial reaction. The growth rate constant of NbC layer was slightly increased with increase of carbon content when the silicon content is similar in the cast irons. However, as silicon content increases with no great difference in carbon content, the growth of NbC layer was greatly retarded. The calculated activation energy for the growth of NbC layer was varied in the range of 447.4~549.3 kJ/moI with the compositions of cast irons.
