Experimental Ti-13%Zr and Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloys were made in an argon-arc melting furnace. The grade 2 CP Ti was used to control. To investigate the surface reaction layers produced by the reaction with mold materials and the influence of the reaction layers on the hardness of castings, A phosphate bonded $SiO_2$ base investment was used as mold material, and microstructure observation and hardness test were performed. The surface reaction layers of Ti-13%Zr and Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloys were thinner than that of CP Ti had a clearly multiple structure. A difference of the hardness between surface and inner of the Ti-13%Zr and Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloys became less than that of CP Ti. From the results, it was found that the Ti-Zr-(Cu) based alloys were possible to cast with $SiO_2$ base investment without the great changes of mechanical properties of the castings.

Rapidly solidified and mechanically alloyed Al-Ti base alloys were prepared by gas atomization and attritor milling separately. The gas atomized and the mechanically alloyed powders were consolidated after preheating at $450^{\circ}C$, and then heat treated isochronally for 1 hour to observe the microstructures and to investigate the mechanical properties. Stable phases of precipitates in the Al-Ti-Si and the Al-Ti-Zr alloys were identified as DO22-$(Al,Si)_3Ti$ and $Do_{23}-Al_3(Ti, Zr)$ each. Among the alloys, the mechanically alloyed Al-l0Ti-2Si alloy showed superior thermal stability and mechanical properties at elevated temperature. The additions of third elements, such as Si and Zr, to Al-Ti alloys seemed to improve the mechnical properties remarkably by stabilizing the microstructure and the precipitate phases in the consolidated alloys.

Rapidly Solidified (RS) Al-Zr base splats with various alloy contents were prepared by atomization-splat quenching method to understand the continuous and discontinuous precipitation in the aged alloys. And the RS alloys were consolidated by hot extrusion and swaging to analyze the effect of plastic deformation on the precipitation behavior. Discontinuous precipitation dominated at relatively low temperature in the Al-Zr alloy, whereas both V additions to Al-Zr alloys and hot metal working appeared to suppress the discontinuous precipitation. As continuous precipitation is favored in the grain interiors, the driving force for discontinuous precipitation become to disappear with a further process.

It has been known that the grain refinement of Cu base alloys greatly improved mechanical properties, castability, workability and hot shortness resistance etc. In this study CuZr50, CuP7, CuFe7, CuMg10 binary alloys were added as grain refiners in CuZn36 alloy. The alloys melted in vacuum and controlled in mixed gas conditions and casted at $1050^{\circ}C$. Zr-P-X compound has significantly grain refined but oxygen has been found detrimental to grain refinement. In the case of Zr /B ratio below 4, B acted as grain growth element in this alloy.

냉간가공된 Zr 합금을 $575^{\circ}C$에서 $650^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 유지시간을 달리하여 열처리하는 동안에 발생하는 회복 및 재결정 거동을 TEP(ThermoElectric Power)와 미소경도 분석을 통하여 연구하였다. 냉간가공과 열처리에 따른 합금의 회복 및 재결정온 격자결함, 공공, 전위, 적층결함 등이 소멸함에 따라 TEP가 증가하는 거동을 보였다. 이러한 TEP 분석은 미소경도 분석에 비해 재결정의 완료를 정확하게 예측할 수 있었으며, 특히, Zr-0.4Nb-xSn합금에서는 미소경도 분석으로 쉽게 구분하기 어려운 회복 및 재결정 단계를 명확하게 나타내었다. TBP와 미소경도 분석을 이용한 Zr-base합금의 재결정 거동에 따르면, Sn을 첨가하는 경우에 Sn이 치환형 고용체로 존재하기 때문에 이로 인한 응력장과 전위와의 상호작용에 기인하여 회복이 지연되는 현상을 가져왔으며, Nb함량을 증가시키는 경우에는 재결정 지연 효과가 미미하였으나, 석출물 형성에 의한 결정립 성장의 지연효과가 크게 나타났다.

중수로형 핵연료 제조공정 중 연료봉 피복관에 간격체와 지지체 등의 부착물이 브레이징으로 접합된다. 본 연구에서는 베릴륨을 물리 증착법(PVD)으로 접합될 부착물의 표면에 증착한 것과 비정질 용가재[$Zr_{1-x}Be_{x}(0.3{\le}x{\le}0.5)$]를 사용하여 브레이징된 접합부의 미세조직과 경도 등의 특성을 비교하고 브레이징 온도가 접합부에 미치는 영향 조사하였다. 비정질 용가재에 의한 접합층의 두께는 PVD-Be의 경우와 비교하여 더 얇았고, Be 함량이 감소할수록 접합층의 두께는 감소하였으며 모재의 침식은 거의 없었다. PVD-Be의 경우 공정 반응, 액상 출현, 모세관 현상과 확산으로 브레이징 되나 비정질 합금은 용가재 만이 용융되어 액상 접합되는 것으로 사료된다. PVD-Be 접합부의 미세조직은 계면에서 수지상이 형성되어 내부로 성장하나, 비정질 합금에 의한 접합부는 석출된 제2상들이 구상으로 구성되며 브레이징 온도가 증가할수록 구상은 더욱 커졌다. 비정질 합금 접합부의 경도는 Be 함량이 감소할수록 경도는 증가하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 비정질 합금 중 $Zr_{0.7}Be_{0.3}$ 합금은 접합부에서 Be의 모재로의 확산이 적어 부드러운 계면과 모재의 침식이 없었고 높은 경도 때문에 핵연료 피복재 접합에 가장 적합한 용가재로 사료된다.

Nanostructured materials exhibit attractive mechanical properties that are often superior to the performance of their coarse-grained counterparts. However, one major drawback is their low ductility, which limits their potential applications. In this paper, different strategies to obtain both high strength and enhanced ductility in nanostructured materials are reported for Ti-base and Zr-base alloys. The first approach consists of designing an in-situ composite microstructure containing ductile bcc or hop dendrites that are homogeneously dispersed in a nanostructured matrix. The second approach is related to refining the eutectic structure of a Ti-Fe-Sn alloy. For all these materials, the microstructure, mechanical properties, deformation and fracture mechanisms will be discussed.

The new Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni-Pd amorphous alloy system has been introduced and manufactured using melt-spinning and Cu-mold die casting methods. Amorphous formability, the supercooled liquid region before crystallization and mechanical properties of the alloys were examined. The reduced glass transition temperature(Trg = Tg/Tm) and the supercooled liquid region(${\Delta}$Tx = Tx-Tg) of $Cu_{49}Zr_{30}Ti_{10}Ni_5Pb_6$ alloy were 0.620 and 57 K respectively. $Cu_{49}Zr_{30}Ti_{10}Ni_5Pb_6$ amorphous alloy was produced in the rod shape with 2mm diameter using the Cu-mold die casting. The hardness value of the amorphous bulk alloy was 432 DPN.

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.

Zirconium based alloys have been extensively used as a cladding material for fuel rods in nuclear reactors, due to their low thermal neutron absorption cross-section, excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties at high temperatures. However, a cladding material for fuel rods in nuclear reactors was contact water during long time at high-temperature, so it is necessary to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the fuel cladding, At ambient environment, there are few data or paper on the characteristic of corrosion in chloride solution and acidic solution. The specimens used in this work are pure Zr and Zircaloy-4. Zircaloy-4 is a specific zirconium-based alloy containing, on a weight percent basis, 1.4% Sn, 0.2% Fe, 0.1% Cr. Pitting corrosion resistance of two alloys by ASTM G48 is higher than that of electrochemical method. Passive film formed on Zircaloy-4 is mainly composed of $ZrO_2$, metallic Sn, and iron species regardless of formation environments. Also, passive film formed on Zr alloys shows n-type semiconductic property on the base of Mott-Schottky plot.
