Zr합금의 수소화 반응속도에 미치는 합금원소의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 Zr과 Zr-0.8Sn-XNb계열(X=0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0) 및 Zr-0.4Nb-YSn계열(Y=0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0)의 3원계 합금으로 electro-microbalance가 장착된 TGA (thermo-gravimetric apparatus)장치를 이용하여 40$0^{\circ}C$에서 1기압 수소와의 반응에 따른 무게증가를 in-situ로 측정하였다 Sn 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 1.5% 까지는 수소반응에 따른 무게증가율이 낮게 나타났으나 Sn을 2.0% 함유한 Zr-0.4Nb-2.0Sn합금의 경우 가장 높게 나타났다. 이는 Sn의 함량이 증가할수록 수소침투에 대한 저항성이 증가함을 의미하지만 Sn이 고용도 이상 함유되면 Sn을 함유한 다량의 석출물이 대량수소침투의 site로 작용하여 수소침투가 가속화된 것으로 평가된다. Nb의 경우 첨가량을 증가시킬수록 무게증가는 크게 나타났는데 이는 Nb이 수소흡수성이 크기 때문이며 Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Nb 및 Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Nb 합금보다 Zr-0.8Sn-0.8Nb 및 Zr-0.8Sn-1.0Nb 합금의 경우 TEM을 이용한 금속간 석출물(intermetallic precipitates) 분석에서 이러한 석출물들의 평균크기 및 개수가 크게 평가되었고, 또한 Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Nb, Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Nb 합금에서는 관찰이 되지 않는 $\beta$-Zr 석출물이 관찰되었다 이러한 사실로부터 Nb의 큰 수소흡수성에 부가적으로 이러한 석출물들이 수소침투를 가속화 하는 데에 기여하는 것으로 여겨진다.

$ZrO_2$ and Al-Zr composite oxide film was prepared by vacuum assisted sol-gel dip coating method and anodizing. $ZrO_2$ films annealed above $400^{\circ}C$ have tetragonal structure. $ZrO_2$ layers inside etch pits were successfully coated from the $ZrO_2$ sol. The double layer structures of samples were obtained after being anodized at 100 V to 600 V. From the TEM images, it was found that the outer layer was $Al_2O_3$, the inner layer was multi-layer of $ZrO_2$, Al-Zr composite oxide and Al hydrate. The capacitance of $ZrO_2$ coated foil exhibited about 28.3% higher than that of non-coating foil after being anodized at 100 V. The high capacitance of $ZrO_2$ coated foils anodized at 100 V can be attributed to the relatively high percentage of inner layer in total thickness. The electrical properties, such as withstanding voltage and leakage current of coated and non-coated Al foils showed similar values. From the results, $ZrO_2$ and Al-Zr composite oxide is promising to be used as the partial dielectric of high voltage capacitor to increase the capacitance.

Hydrous zirconia particles were prepared from $ZrOCl_2$ aqueous solution using an electro-dialysis [ED] process. For the preparation of $(Zr,Y)(OH)_4$ precipitates, 3 mol% $YCl_3$ was added into $ZrOCl_2$ aqueous solution. During the hydrolysis of 0.5 mol/L $(Zr,Y)OCl_2$ solution at $90^{\circ}C$ a slurry solution was obtained. The ED process was used for the removal of chlorine from the slurry solution. Two kinds of slurry solution were sampled at the beginning and end of the ED process. The morphology of hydrous zirconia particles in the solution was observed using an inverted optical microscope and an FE-SEM. The hydrous zirconia particles were nano-crystalline, and easily coagulated with drying. Yttrium stabilized zirconia [YSZ] powder could be obtained by the calcination of $(Zr,Y)(OH)_4$ precipitates prepared from a $(Zr,Y)OCl_2$ solution by the ED process. The coagulated dry powders were shaped and sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The sintered body showed a dense microstructure with uniform grain morphology.

The mechanical properties and microstructure of ceramics of the system Al2O3-ZrO2-Y2O3 sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 2h after powder preparation by the precipitation method from Al2(SO4)3.18H2O, ZrOCl2.8H2O and YCl3.6H2O were investigated. The Al2O3-ZrO2-Y2O3 ceramics sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 2h after mixing alpha-Al2O3 and ZrO2-Y2O3 powders, both were separately precipitated and calcined, were found to have the relative density higher than 97.5% so that the strengthening and toughening mechanisms could be explained mainly as the stress-induced phase transformation. On the other hand, the sintered bodies prepared by co-precipitating the three starting materials were measured to have the relative density lower than 85% so that the degradation of strength were observed above 15 vol% ZrO2 contents due to the high porosity by which the effect of stress-induced phase transformation was assumed to be depressed.

Characteristics of $ZrO_2$ felt supported Cu/Zn catalysts have been investigated for the production of hydrogen via methanol steam reforming. Cu and Zn in different weight percent were loaded using wet impregnation over $ZrO_2$ felt support. The catalysts were characterized with BET and FE-SEM. The performance of these synthesized catalysts were investigated at SCR=1.5, $GHSV=2000h^{-1}$, temperature=$300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, and pressure=2.5~19.5 barA. The results showed that the $Cu^{32.5}Zn^{7.5}ZrO_2$ catalyst was most active in terms of methanol conversion and hydrogen production. The methanol conversion in steam reforming of methanol was 84.6% at 19.5 barA and furnace $400^{\circ}C$ over $Cu^{32.5}Zn^{7.5}ZrO_2$ catalyst. The catalysts prepared using $ZrO_2$ felt show higher reactor temperature than the pellet type catalyst at same furnace temperature.

The joining behavior of YSZ ceramics to the glasses used in the $9Al_2O_3-24ZrO_2-51SiO_2-16R_2O$ and $9Al_2O_3-24ZrO_2-51SiO_2-7La_2O_3-9R_2O$ (wt%) glass systems was investigated. The glass transition and softening temperatures were determined to be $430^{\circ}C$ and $760^{\circ}C$, respectively. The behavior of the contact angle was inversely proportional to an increase in the temperature. The Zr element in YSZ acted as a nucleation agent and contributed to the bonding behavior at the interface.

$Al_2O_3$-20w/o $ZrO_2$ composite powders were prepared by the emulsion-coprecipitation method and the effects of preparative conditions on powder characteristics were investigated. In the preparation of $Al_2O_3$-$ZrO_2$ composite powders, toluene was used instead of kerosene as the oil phase in emulsions. After coprecipitation, the emulsion was easily broken into a single liquid phase by adding methanol, and then precipitates could be effectively collected by filteration. The fact that all $ZrO_2$ phases present at room temperature in composite powders calcined at $1100^{\circ}C$ after washed by methanol had a tetragonal structure confirmed that methanol-washing enhanced the dispersibility of fine $ZrO_2$ particles in $Al_2O_3$ matrix. $Al_2O_3$-$ZrO_2$ composite powders were spherical particles of 0.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter. Pellets sintered at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs showed the relative theoretical density of 97.3% and the fracture toughness of 5.01MN/$m^{3/2}$.

A Ti47Al1.7W-3.7Zr alloy was oxidized between $900^{\circ}C$ and $1050^{\circ}C$, and the oxide scales formed were studied. The oxide scales consisted primarily of an outer$TiO_2$ layer, an intermediate $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layer, and an inner mixed ($TiO _2$ + $Al_2$$O_3$) layer. Besides $TiO_2$ and $Al_2$$O_3$, oxidation led to the formation of some $Ti_2$AlN and TiN. Both W and Zr were preferentially segregated below the intermediate $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layer. Tungsten in the oxide scale was present as $WO_3$ and ${Ti}_{x}$$W_{1-x}$, whereas zirconium as monoclic-$ZrO_2$ and tetragonal-$ZrO_2$.

In this study the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(TC $F_{r}$) dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Pb[(S $b_{1}$2//N $b_{1}$2/)$_{0.065}$)-(Z $r_{x}$, $Ti_{1-x}$ )$_{0.90}$] $O_3$ceramics were investigated with Zr/Ti ratio. The compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) appeared when Zr/Ti ratio was 49.5/50.5 The dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{p}$) also showed the highest values of 1,257, 0.653 respectively when the Zr/Ti ratio was 49.5/50.5 Moreover the mechanical quality factor( $Q_{m}$) showed th lowest value of 713 when the Zr/Ti ratio. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(TC $F_{r}$) abruptly change at the morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) which existed between the rhombohedral phase with highly negative TC $F_{r}$ of -106ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and the tetragonal phase with highly positive TC $F_{r}$ of +64pp $m^{\circ}C$ as Zr/Ti ratio varied from 50/50 to 49.5/50.5.50.5..50.5.
