The crystallization behavior in the $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ and $Al_{88}Ni_3Y_9$amorphous alloys has been investigated. As-quenched $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ amorphous phase decomposes by simultaneous formation of Al and intermetallic phase at the first crystallization step, while as-quenched $Al_{88}Ni_3Y_9$ amorphous phase decomposes by forming Al nanocrystals in the amorphous matrix. The density of Al nanocrystals is extremely high and the size distribution is homogeneous. Such a microstructure can result from rapid explosion of the nucleation event in the amorphous matrix or growth of the preexisting nuclei embedded in the as-quenched amorphous matrix. The final equilibrium crystalline phases and their distribution at 873 K are exactly same in both $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ and $Al_{88}Ni_3Y_9$ alloys.

Mechanical milling technique is considered to be a useful way of processing the fine Nd-Fe-B-type powder with high coercivity. In the present study, phase evolution of the $Nd_{15}(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{77}B_{8}$ (x=0-0.6) alloys during the high energy mechanical milling and annealing was investigated. The effect of Co-substitution on the crystallization of the mechanically milled $Nd_{15}(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{77}B_{8}$ amorphous material was examined. The Nd-Fe-B-type alloys can be amorphized completely by a high-energy mechanical milling. On annealing of the amorphous material, fine $\alpha$-Fe crystallites form first from the amorphous. These fine $\alpha$-Fe crystallites reacts with the remaining amorphous afterwards, leading to crystallization to $Nd_2Fe_{14}$B phase. The Co-substitution for Fe in $Nd_{15}(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{77}B_{8}$ ($\mu$x=0∼0.6) alloys lower significantly the crystallization temperature of the amorphous phase to the $Nd_2Fe_{14}$B phase. The mechanically milled and annealed $Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8$ alloy without Co-substitution exhibits consistently better magnetic properties with respect to the alloys with Co-substitution.

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.

This study demonstrates that preloading via the elastostatic compression imposed on amorphous alloys at room temperature induces homogeneous plastic strain associated with structural disordering. This structural disordering causes disorder, which at room temperature creates excess free volume and in turn enhances the plasticity. In this study, we investigated the effects of various parameters, such as stress level, flow rate and preloading time, on the degree of the structural disordering at room temperature. On the basis of the present findings, we proposed a method of enhancing the plasticity of amorphous alloys.

Erosion and thermal shock resistance of several refractory materials have been investigated, which are expected to be used as nozzles in a planar flow casting equipment for amorphous alloys. The test was conducted on five materials; graphite, boron nitride, fused silica, alumina and zirconia. Test specimens were preheated and dipped into the melt of carbon steel and amorphous alloys. Some test specimens were rotated to develop high erosion and to shorten the test periods. Fused silica and boron nitride specimens showed the excellent erosion and thermal shock resistance irrespective of the kind of melt and melting atmosphere.

Since amorphous alloys have been known to have better mechanical and chemical properties than crystalline alloys of the same composition, a great number of studies on the formation of Al-based amorphous alloys have been carried out actively. However, little has been obtained about the effect of Rare-Earth metal and Transition metal addition on amorphous phase formed by melt spinning method. This study included fabrication of amorphous alloy $Al_{85}Ce_5Ni_{10}$ by melt spinning methods and DTA, XRD, TEM analysis to determine crystalization behavoir. Annealing treatments were carried out in Ar atmosphere under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. The diffraction pattern of non-heated ribbons showed broad form characteristic of glass metallic alloy. The crystallization of amorphous $Al_{85}Ce_5Ni_{10}$ takes place eutedtoidly by homogeneous formation of Al and MS-1, followed by precipitation of the $Al_{11}Ce_3$ and later $MS-1{\rightarrow}Al_3Ni$ transformation.

In commercial Zr-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al amorphous alloys, expensive element, Zr, was substituted to Sn which was cheaper one, and then, glass forming ability, compressive strength and hardness of them were estimated. Even though the Sn was added up to 1.5%, resulting phase was not changed to the crystalline form. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and thermal analyses. In the X-ray profiles, there were no peaks for crystalline phases and typical halo pattern for amorphous phase was appeared at the diffraction angle of $35^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$. Thermal analyses also showed that the Sn modified alloys were corresponded to the amorphous standards where ${\delta}T$(= Tx - Tg) and Trg(= Tg/Tm) affecting to the amorphous forming ability were more than 50K and 0.60 respectively. Compressive strengths were 1.77 GPa, 1.63 GPa, 1.65 GPa and 1.77 GPa for 0%Sn, 0.5%Sn, 1.0%Sn and 1.5%Sn respectively. Hardnesses of the Sn modified alloys were decreased from 752 Hv to 702 Hv in 1.0%Sn and recovered to 746 Hv in 1.5%Sn.

The spontaneous Hall effect in amorphous Tb-Fe and Sm-Fe thin films, which possess excellent magnetic softness, is investigated in this work to seek a possibility of practical applications of these thin films as sensors. The resistivity of Tb-Fe thin films ranges from 180 to 250 Ωcm as the Tb content varies from 35 to 46 at. %. Tb-Fe thin films show negative Hall resistivity ranging from - 7.3 to - 5.0 Ωcm in the same composition range, giving the normalized resistivity ratio in the range of -4.1 to -2.0 %. On the other hand, the resistivity of Sm-Fe thin films ranges from 150 to 166 Ωcm as the Sm content varies from 22 to 31 at. %. Sm-Fe thin films show positive Hall resistivity which varies from 7.1 to 2.8 Ωcm in the same composition range, giving the normalized resistivity ratio in the range of 4.8 to 1.7 %. These values are significantly high compared with the values of other R-T alloys, Tb-Co alloys for example, where the highest reported value is 2.5 %. Between the two different sets of samples, Tb-Fe thin films with perpendicular anisotropy are considered to be more suitable for practical applications, since saturation is reached at a los magnetic field, approximately 2 kOe in a Tb$\sub$35.1/ Fe$\sub$64.9/ thin film, for example.

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.

Ni-base amorphous alloys were manufactured using melt-spinning and Cu-mold die casting methods. Amorphous formability, the supercooled liquid region before crystallization and mechanical properties were examined. The reduced glass transition temperature and the supercooled liquid region of $Ni_{51} Nb_{20} Zr_9 Ti_9 Co_8 Cu_3$alloy were 0.621 and 46 K respectively. $Ni_{51} Nb_{20} Zr_9 Ti_9 Co_8 Cu_3$ alloy was produced in the rod shape 3mm diameter using the Cu-mold die casting. Hardness, compression strength, elongation and elastic modulus of the alloy were 850 DPN, 2.75 GPa, 1.8% and 150 GPa respectively. Moreover, compression strength of 2.75 GPa was the highest value in the amorphous bulk alloy produced up to now.
