본 연구의 목적은 저탄성계수 Ti-30Ta 합금에 Zr 원소를 첨가하여 표면 특성 및 부식 거동을 조사하였다. 저탄성계수 Ti-30Ta-xZr(x : 3, 7, 15 wt %)합금은 아크 멜팅기로 제조하였고, 아르곤 분위기에서 $1000^{\circ}C$ 24시간 동안 열처리하였다. 합금의 미세구조는 FE-SEM 그리고 XRD를 이용하여 조사하였다. 전기화학적 특성은 시편 작업전극, 고밀도 탄소 보조전극 그리고 포화칼로멜 기준전극의 통상적인 3상을 이용하여 수행하였다. Ti-30Ta-xZr 합금의 분극 거동 결과, 균질화 처리된 Ti-30Ta-15Zr 합금의 부동태 전류밀도가 다른 합금에 비해 낮았다.

Effects of TiN/Ti multilayer coating on the Ti-30Ta-xZr alloy surface were studied by using various experiments. The Ti-30Ta containing Zr (5, 10 and 15 wt%) were melted 10 times to improve chemical homogeneity by using a vacuum furnace. And then samples were homogenized for 24 hrs at $1000^{\circ}C$. The specimens were prepared for TiN/Ti coating by cutting and polishing. The prepared specimens were coated with TiN/Ti multilayers by using DC magnetron sputtering method. The analyses of coated surface and coated layer were carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM), EDX, and X-ray diffractometer(XRD). From the microstructure and XRD analysis of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys, The equiaxed structure was changed to needle-like structure with increasing Zr content. And $\alpha$-peak and elastic modulus increased as Zr content increased. The $\alpha$ and $\beta$ phase predominantly were found in the specimen containing high Zr content. According to the analysis of TiN/Ti coating layer, the surface defects and structures of Ti-30Ta-xZr were covered with TiN/Ti coating layer and surface roughness decreased.

Pure titanium and its alloys are drastically used in implant materials due to their excellent mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. However, the widely used Ti-6Al-4V is found to release toxic ions (Al and V) into the body, leading to undesirable long-term effects. Ti-6Al-4V has much higher elastic modulus than cortical bone. Therefore, titanium alloys with low elastic modulus have been developed as biomaterials to minimize stress shielding. For this reason, Ti-30Ta-xZr alloy systems have been studied in this study. The Ti-30Ta containing Zr(5, 10 and 15 wt%) were 10 times melted to improve chemical homogeneity by using a vacuum furnace and then homogenized for 24 hrs at $1000^{\circ}C$. The specimens were cut and polished for corrosion test and Ti coating and then coated with TiN, respectively, by using DC magnetron sputtering method. The analyses of coated surface were carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM). The electrochemical characteristics were examined using potentiodynamic (- 1500 mV~+ 2000 mV) and AC impedance spectroscopy(100 kHz~10 mHz) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The equiaxed structure was changed to needle-like structure with increasing Zr content. The surface defects and structures were covered with TiN/Ti coated layer. From the polarization behavior in 0.9% NaCl solution, The corrosion current density of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys decreased as Zr content increased, whereas, the corrosion potential of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys increased as Zr content increased. The corrosion resistance of TiN/Ti-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys were higher than that of the TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys. From the AC impedance in 0.9% NaCl solution, polarization resistance($R_p$) value of TiN/Ti coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys showed higher than that of TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys.

Electrochemical characteristics of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys coated with HA/TiN by using magnetron sputtering method were studied. The Ti-30Ta containing Zr(3, 7, 10 and 15wt%) were 10 times melted to improve chemical homogeneity by using a vacuum furnace and then homogenized for 24hrs at $1000^{\circ}C$. The specimens were cut and polished for corrosion test and coating, and then coated with HA/TiN, respectively, by using DC and RF-magnetron sputtering method. The analyses of coated surface and coated layer were carried out by using optical microscope(OM), field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD). The electrochemical characteristics were examined using potentiodynamic (-1,500 mV~ + 2,000 mV) and A.C. impedance spectroscopy(100 kHz ~ 10 mHz) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The microstructure of homogenized Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys showed needle-like structure. In case of homogenized Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys, a-peak was increased with increasing Zr content. The thickness of TiN and HA coated layer showed 400 nm and 100 nm, respectively. The corrosion resistance of HA/TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys were higher than that of the non-coated Ti-30TaxZr alloys, whic hindicate better protective effect. The polarization resistance($R_p$) value of HA/TiN coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys showed $8.40{\times}10^5{\Omega}cm^2$ which was higher than that of non-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys.

최근에 고온용 항공기 구조 재료로 Ti, Zr, V, Nb 및 Ta 등의 천이금속을 첨가한 Al 합금계 제조와 특성에 관한 연구가 되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Al-Nb합금에 Zr을 첨가하여 상형성거동을 연구하였다. Al-1.3at.%(Nb+Zr) 합금에서 Nb와 Zr의 원자비를 1:3, 1:1 및 3:1로 하여 기계적합금화하였다. 기계적합금화하는 동안 Al-Nb-Zr의 형태변화와 미세구조를 SEM, XRD 및 TEM으로 관찰하였다. X-선 회절 시험에 의하여 $Nb_2Al$ 과 $Al_3Zr_4$가 생성됨을 확인하였다. $500^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안의 진공열처리에 의하여 $Al_3Zr$, $Al_3Zr_4$ 등의 금속간화합물을 형성하였다. 30시간동안 기계적 합금화한 분말을 열처리하여 TEM으로 관찰한 결과 100nm 이하의 금속간화합물 입자들을 관찰하였다.
