지르코늄 합금 피복관을 고온-고압 수증기 분위기에서 산화시켰으며 이에 따른 결과를 도출하였다. 수증기 압력이 증가함에 따라서 산화량은 증가하였고, 산화막 두께 또한 두꺼워졌다. 산화된 시편의 산화막을 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 대기압하에서 산화된 시편은 균일한 산화막을 갖는 반면 고압 수증기하에서 산화된 시편은 많은 균일이 관찰되었다.

To investigate the relationship between heat treatment in zirconium alloy tubing process and metallurgical characteristics of Zr-1Nb-0.69Sn-0.11Fe alloy tubes, mechanical and oxidation behaviors of tubes heat treated at different temperatures after the final pilgering were investigated. The stress strain curves exhibited the saturation behaviors in all heat treatment conditions ($460{\sim}600^{\circ}C$) in this study with the onset strain of saturation increased with increase of post-pilgering annealing temperature. The strength fell off rapidly with increasing annealing temperature. The ultimate strength of the low tin Zr-1Nb-0.69Sn-0.11Fe alloy with slightly higher iron and oxygen contents in this study was found to be higher than Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.1Fe alloy. The oxidation experiments in steam condition revealed that the corrosion resistance of low tin Zr-1Nb-0.69Sn-0.11Fe alloy was better than the Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.1Fe alloy with a higher Sn content. The weight gain of low tin Zr-1Nb-0.69Sn-0.11Fe alloy tubes gradually increased with the increasing annealing temperature possibly due to the decreased Nb content in the matrix because of the formation of ${\beta}-Nb$ particles.

본 연구에서는 $360^{\circ}C$ 물 및 $360^{\circ}C$, 70ppm LiOH 수용액 분위기의 static autoclave를 이용하여 새롭게 개발한 Zr 신합금 (Zr-0.4Nb-0.8Sn-xFeCrMn, Zr-0.2Nb-1.1Sn-xFeCrMn, Zr-1.0Nb-xFeCu) 의 부식 특성을 평가하였다. 합금의 미세구조를 광학현미경과 TEM을 이용하여 관찰하였고, 부식시험 중에 생성된 산화막은 SEM과 XRD를 이용하여 단면 및 결정구조를 조사하였다. 부식시험 결과, 3종의 합금 모두 $360^{\circ}C$ 물 분위기보다 $360^{\circ}C$, 70ppm LiOH 수용액 분위기에서의 부식저항성이 감소하였으며 특히, High Nb 합금의 경우 급격한 가속 부식현상을 나타내었다. 합금원소 첨가량과 관련하여 Nb의 함량을 고용도 이내로 줄이고 Sn을 적절히 첨가한 조성의 합금이 Sn을 첨가하지 않고 고용도 이상의 Nb을 가진 합금보다 우수한 부식저항성을 나타내었다. 또한 최종열처리가 부식에 미치는 영향의 경우에, 완전재결정 조직의 합금이 부분재결정 조직을 가진 합금보다 부식저항성이 감소되었는데 이는 기지조직에서 석출하늘 제 2상의 크기 및 분포에 의한 영향으로 사료된다.

In the present study, ultrafined Zr-V-Fe based alloy powder prepared by a plasma arc discharge process with changing process parameters. The chemical composition of synthesized powder was strongly influenced by the process parameters, especially the hydrogen volume fraction in the powder synthesis atmosphere. The synthesized powder had an average particle size of 50 nm. The synthesized Zr-V-Fe based particles had a shell-core structure composed of metal in the core and oxidse in the shell.

Alloys of Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al(wt%) were oxidized in air between 700 and $900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the oxidation resistance is much better than that of either commercially available pure Ti-6Al-4V(wt%) alloys. The oxide scales were primarily composed of thick Ti-ox-ides which were formed by the inward diffusion of oxygen from the atmosphere. At higher temperatures a thin $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ layer was formed on Ti-oxides owing to the outward diffusion of Al from the base alloys. Molybdenum, the noblest metal among the alloy components, was predominantly present behind the oxide-substrate interface. Zirconium, an oxygen active metal, was present at both the oxide layer and the substrate.

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.%.

Zr-Ti alloy powders were successfully synthesized by magnesium thermal reduction of metal chlorides. The evaporated and mixed gasses of $ZrCl_4+TiCl_4$ were injected to liquid magnesium and the chloride components were reduced by magnesium leading to the formation of $MgCl_2$. The released Zr and Ti atoms were then condensed to particle forms inside the mixture of liquid magnesium and magnesium chloride, which could be dissolved fully in post process by 1~5% HCl solution at room temperature. By the fraction-control of individually injected $ZrCl_4$ and $TiCl_4$ gasses, the final compositions of produced alloy powders were changed in the ranges of Zr-0 wt.%~20 wt.%Ti and their purity and particle size were about 99.4% and the level of several micrometers, respectively.

에너지 패러다임의 변화가 요구되는 현대에 수소는 매력적인 에너지원이다. 이러한 수소를 정제하는 기술 중에서 분리막을 이용한 기술은 저비용으로 고순도의 수소를 정제할 수 있는 기술로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 수소 분리 성능이 뛰어난 팔라듐(Pd)은 가격이 매우 비싸 이를 대체한 소재가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수소 투과 성능은 좋으나 수소 취성에 약한 니오븀(Nb)과 수소 투과 성능은 떨어지나 내구성이 뛰어난 니켈(Ni)과 지르코늄(Zr)을 혼합한 합금으로 분리막을 제조하여 1~4 bar, 350~450 ℃ 조건에서 수소 투과 특성을 확인하였다. Pd를 코팅하지 않은 Ni₄₈Nb₃₂Zr₂₀ 분리막의 경우 최대 0.69 ml/cm²/min의 투과량을 보였으며, Pd가 코팅된 경우에는 최대 13.05 ml/cm²/min의 투과량을 보였다.

In order to study the cladding properties of zirconium after a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA)-simulation oxidation and water quenching test, commercial Zircaloy-4 and two kinds of HANA claddings were oxidized at temperatures ranging from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1250^{\circ}C$ and exposed for 300 s, and then cooled to $700^{\circ}C$ before quenching. Microstructural observations were made to evaluate the matrix characteristics with the chemical compositions after the LOCA-simulation test. Ring compression testing was then performed to compare the ductile behaviour of the HANA and Zircaloy-4 claddings. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out for temperatures ranging from room temperature to $1250^{\circ}C$ for the oxide layer to verify the oxide crystal structure at each oxidation temperature.

환원추출 공정은 소멸처리로의 연료를 제조하는 과정에서 전해분리된 TRU 성분을 추가로 정제하기 위해 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 용융염과 Bi 금속사이의 환원추출되는 과정에 대하여 조사하였다. TRU의 대체연구물인 지르코늄과 희토류 원소들이 용질로 이용되었으며, 환원제인 Li은 Bi와 미리 합금을 만들어 사용하였다. 모든 실험은 아르곤 가스가 채워진 글로브박스내에서 수행되었으며, 분석을 위해 ICP, XRD 및 EPMA 등이 이용되었다 Li 투입 후 3시간 이내에 환원추출 반응이 평형에 도달하였다. 세가지 용융염 시스템의 비교실험에서 3가지 용융염 시스템 모두에서 지르코늄이 희토류 원소들로부터 잘 분리되었다.
