사용후핵연료 파이로프로세싱에서는 방사성 희토류 염화물($RECl_3$)을 함유한 LiCl-KCl 공융염폐기물이 발생되며, 핫셀시설에서 운영을 목적으로 단순한 형태의 공융염폐기물 처리공정을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, LiCl-KCl 공융염폐기물 내 희토류 핵종 분리/고화공정의 단순화를 목적으로 $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-B_2O_3$계의 무기합성매질을 이용하여 LiCl-KCl 공융염 내 희토류 핵종(Nd)을 분리한 후 분리생성물을 바로 고화하는 시험을 실시하였다. 공융염 내 희토류 염화물($NdCl_3$) 대비 0.67의 무게비에 해당하는 무기합성매질의 양으로도 Nd 핵종을 98wt% 이상 분리할 수 있었고, 이 때 얻은 희토류 핵종 포집생성물은 약 50wt% 수준의 희토류 산화물 함량을 보유하고 있었으며, 이 포집생성물을 화학적 내구성이 우수한 단일상의 균질한 유리고화체로 제조할 수 있었다. 이 결과들은 LiCl-KCl 공융염폐기물 내 희토류 핵종의 분리/고화공정을 단순화하기 위한 방안수립에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composites were prepared by pressurelss sintering with addition of Al2O3 or SiC platelets. The sintered density of 10 vol% Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite was 98.3% at 1700$^{\circ}C$. The fracture strength (290 MPa) and fracture toughness (4.9 MPa$.${{{{ SQRT { m} }}) in the Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite were enhanced compared with those of mullite-zirconia due to the crack deflection and load transfer effect of platelets. Whereas, the SiC platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite sintered at 1650$^{\circ}C$ showed relatively lower density (95.7%), fracture strength (170 MPa), and fracture toughness (3.9 MPa$.${{{{ SQRT { m} }} than the Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite.

알루미늄 (Al) 금속을 전구체 및 구조체로 이용, 수열 반응을 통하여 Al@Al₂O₃와 Al@Ni-Al LDH (LDH = layered double hydroxide) 코어-쉘 복합 구조체를 합성하였다. 제조된 구조체의 형상, 조성, 결정 구조는 수용액에 존재하는 이온들에 의하여 크게 영향을 받았으며, 이를 활용하여 다양한 특성의 촉매 구조체 유도가 가능하였다. Al@Ni-Al LDH 코어-쉘 구조체의 환원을 통하여 Ni 나노 입자가 고정화된 Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 촉매를 제조하였고, CO₂ 메탄화 반응에 적용하여 촉매의 특성을 평가하였다. Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 촉매는 전통적 incipient wetness impregnation 방법에 의하여 제조된 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매에 비교하여 Ni 입자의 분산도와 균일성이 매우 높았으며 약 2 배 이상의 CO₂ 전환율로 높은 촉매적 활성과 더불어 구조의 안정성을 보여 주었다. 이러한 Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 구조체 촉매의 우수한 특성은 Al 금속을 기반으로 한 새로운 개념의 촉매 구조체 설계와 합성 방법의 타당성을 보여준다.

In-situ process에 의한 $Al_2O_{3p}/Al$기 복합재료 제조시, Mg의 첨가형태와 함량, 공정온도 및 유지시간이 응용Al의 침투거동과 미세조직 및 경도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Mg분말과 $Al_2O_3$입자의 혼합분말에 순 Al을 침투시켜 복합재를 제조하는 경우, 침투율에 영향을 주는 가장 유력한 변수는 Mg분말의 함량이며, Mg의 활발한 반응으로 $700^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서도 침투가 가능했다. 한편 Al-Mg합금을 $Al_2O_3$입자에 침투시켜 복합재를 제조하는 경우 Mg함량과 공정온도에 관계없이 거의 동일한 침투율을 나타냈으며 침투 가능한 공정온도는 $800^{\circ}C$이었다. Mg과 $Al_2O_3$의 혼합분말로 제조한 복합재가 Al-Mg합금으로 제조한 복합재 보다 월등히 높은 경도를 나타냈으나, 과도한 계면방응에 의한 불균일한 강화상의 분산으로 경도의 산포도는 컸다.

$ZrO_2$ 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.

This study aims at investigating the wear properties of thermally sprayed $Al/Al_2O_3$ metal matrix composite(MMC) coating against different counterparts. $Al/Al_2O_3$ MMC coatings were fabricated using a flame spray system on an Al 6061 substrate. Dry sliding wear tests were performed using the sliding speeds of 0.2m/s and the applied loads of 1 and 2 N. AISI 52100, $Al_2O_3$, $Si_3N_4\;and\;ZrO_2$ balls(diameter: 8mm) were used as counterpart materials. Wear properties of $Al/Al_2O_3$ MMC coatings were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was revealed that wear properties of $Al/Al_2O_3$ composite coatings were much influenced by counterpart materials. In the case of AISI 52100 used as counterparts, the wear rate of composites coating layer increased according to the increase of the applied load. On the contrary, in the case of ceramics used as counterparts, the wear rate of composites coating layer decreased according to the increase of the applied load.

Understanding of effects of changes in the particle size of the matrix material on the mullite whisker growth during the production of porous mullite is crucial for better design of new porous ceramics materials in different applications. Commercially, raw materials such as Al₂O₃/SiO₂ and Al(OH)₃/SiO₂ are used as starting materials, while AlF₃ is added to fabricate porous mullite through reaction sintering process. When Al₂O₃ is used as a starting material, a porous microstructure can be identified, but a more developed needle shaped microstructure is identified in the specimen using Al(OH)₃, which has excellent reactivity. The specimen using Al₂O₃/SiO₂ composite powder does not undergo mulliteization even at 1,400 ℃, but the specimen using the Al(OH)₃/SiO₂ composite powder had already formed complete mullite whiskers from the particle size specimen milled for 3 h at 1,100 ℃. As a result, the change in sintering temperature does not significantly affect formation of microstructures. As the particle size of the matrix materials, Al₂O₃ and Al(OH)₃, decreases, the porosity tends to decrease. In the case of the Al(OH)₃/SiO₂ composite powder, the highest porosity obtained is 75 % when the particle size passes through a milling time of 3 h. The smaller the particle size of Al(OH)₃ is and the more the long/short ratio of the mullite whisker phase decreases, the higher the density becomes.

Fibrous monolithic control of$ Al_2$$O_3$ -$ZrO_2$composite was investigated by multi-pass extrusion process. To obtain sound $Al_2$$O_3$-X $O_2$sintered bodies, burning out and sintering process were carefully carried out. The sintered bodies showed continuous, fibrous monolithic microstructure without any swelling. Many microcracks were observed at the $Al_2$$O_3$-$ZrO_2$interfaces due to the mismatching of thermal expansion coefficient between $Al_2$$O_3$ and $ZrO_2$phase. Most of m- $ZrO_2$grains included twin defects such as (001), (010) and (011) type to accommodate the phase transformation induced stress.

TiC-Al2O3 composite ceramics has high hardness, high strength, high wear and corrosion resistance. Therefore, composite ceramics have been concerned significantly with some excellent properties and many functions as new industrial materials to the industry at large. In present research, experiments are carried out to obtain the machinability and machining properties by EDM. As a result, the most suitable machining conditions of TiC-Al2O3 composite ceramics was that the pulse duration is 10-60$mutextrm{s}$, the peak current is 10-16A. The machining speed and the wear of the tool electrode increased with the increase in peak current.

$Ni-Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite coatings were fabricated by conventional electrodeposition technique using nickel sulfamate bath. Effect of plating parameters on electrodeposition of $Ni-Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite were studied. The properties of the nano composite were investigated by using SEM, XRD, and Vicker's microhardness test. The results demonstrated that $Al_2O_3$ incorporation in the composite coatings was found to be increased by increasing stir rate and $Al_2O_3$ content in plating bath. Microhardness of the composite coatings was also increased with increasing content of the nano particles in the plating bath. The surface morphologies of the nanocomposite coatings were found to be varied with varying pH, current densities as well as alumina content in the plating bath.
