CaO ceramics were prepared by conventional sintering process and their hydration behaviors were evaluated by measuring weight increment on saturated water vapor pressure at ambient temperature. CaCO$_3$ and limestone were used as CaO source materials and $Al_2$O$_3$, MgO and SiO$_2$ were added as sintering agents. $Al_2$O$_3$ was a liquid phase sintering agent to increase densification and grain growth rates, whereas MgO and SiO$_2$, densification and grain growth inhibitors. Regardless of composition, all of the prepared CaO ceramics showed the improved hydration resistance as bulk density increased. Especially, when bulk density was more than 3.0 g/㎤, there was no weight increment after 120 h of hydration. Therefore, to decrease contact area between CaO and water vapor by increasing bulk density with the $Al_2$O$_3$ sintering additive was effective for the improvement of CaO hydration resistance.

건조공정 중인 다공성 물질의 물성은 재료의 비균질성 즉 전위, 입자, 입계, 균열, 기공과 같은 미시적인 결함인자들의 영향을 받는다. 따라서 다공성 물질의 건조공정을 전산 시뮬레이션하기 위해서는 원자 스케일 해석을 통한 미시적 물성을 알아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 분자동역학 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 원자 모델을 구성하고 원자 상호간 거동을 예측하여 재료의 미시적 물성을 계산하였다. 이렇게 구한 탄성계수, 열팽창계수, 체적 열용량은 실험 및 이론에 기초한 결과들과 비교하여 검증하였다.

Extensive research has been perform성 on the property-microstructure-process condition relations of thin films. The various proposed models are mainly based on physical vapor deposition processes. Especially the study on the surface condition of substrates in Zone 1 with low surface mobility has not been sufficient. In this study, therefore, we discussed the mochological changes of TiN films deposited by plusma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process with substrates of different composition and micro-rorghness, and compared it with the Structure Zone Model. We could find out that the growth rate of films increased and micro-grain size decreased with the increase in micro-roughness, but it does not improve the mechanical properties because of many imperfections like voids, micro-cracks, stacking faults, etc. This means that, in these deposition conditions, the increase in shadowing diffect is more effective than the increase in nucleation sites on the growth of films due to the increase in substrate roughness.

This report examines the variations on structural properties of $SnO_2$ thin films deposited by using thermal chemical vapor deposition techniques with different oxygen flow gas. TEM showed some of the interface to be atomically rough. The aspects of the boundary shape and growth behavior agree well with the theory of interface growth. The electron diffraction showed that the roughness was changed as the different oxygen flow gas increased. These measurement results suggested that the number of interface facet and abnormal grain growth were related oxygen flow gas.

일반적으로 floating zone법에 의한 결정성장시에는 소결봉이 원료로서 사용되며 이러한 원료봉의 소결조건에 의해 결정성장시 안정성이 영향을 받게 된다. 그 원인은 FZ법에 의한 결정성장시 소결조건에 따른 원료봉의 미세구조의 변화가 소결봉과 융액사이의 계면형태를 변화시키기 때문이다. 본 연구에서 FZ법에 의해 $TiO_2$(rutile)과 ruby 단결정을 성장하였으며 이를 통해 소결봉의 미세구조가 FZ법에 의한 결정성장시에 용융대의 안정서에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.$TiO_2$(rutile)과 ruby의 결정성장에 사용되는 원료봉의 소결시 소결온도가 높아지고 소결시간이 길어질수록 원료봉 중앙부와 바깥ㅂ분의 입자크기의 차이가 커져서 결국에는 그로 인하여 원료봉의 용융양상이 바뀌어졌다. FZ법에 의한 결정성장시 원료봉의 최적소결 조건은 입자의 크기가 소결봉 전영역에 걸쳐 균일하게 분포되는 것이었다. 반면 일반 적으로 중요하다고 여기는 소결봉의 porosity는 FZ법에 의한 결정성장시 영향력 있는 인자가 아니라는 점을 소결하지 않은 원료봉을 사용해 결정성장 실험을 행하여 봄으로써 확인할 수 있었다.

Not only difference of fatigue crack growth and propagation behavior resulted from the grain size, the hardness ratio and volume fraction in M.E.F. dual phase steel composed of martensite in hard phase and ferrite in soft phase, but also the effects of the plastic constraint were investigated by fracture mechanics and microstructural method. The main results obtained are as follows: 1) The fatigue endurance of M.E.F. steel increases with decreasing the grain size, increasing the ratio of hardness and volume fraction. 2) The initiation of slip and crack occures faster as the stress level goes higher. These phenomena result from the plastic constraint effect of the second phase. 3) The crack propagation rate in the constant stress level is faster as the grain size gets larger, the ratio of hardness lower and volume fraction smaller.

Manufacturing bulk nanostructured materials with least grain growth from initial powders is challenging because of the bottle neck of bottom-up methods using the conventional powder metallurgy of compaction and sintering. In this study, bottom-up type powder metallurgy processing and top-down type SPD (Severe Plastic Deformation) approaches were combined in order to achieve both real density and grain refinement of metallic powders. ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing), one of the most promising processes in SPD, was used for the powder consolidation method. For understanding the ECAP process, investigating the powder density as well as internal stress, strain distribution is crucial. We investigated the consolidation and plastic deformation of the metallic powders during ECAP using the finite element simulations. Almost independent behavior of powder densification in the entry channel and shear deformation in the main deformation zone was found by the finite element method. Effects of processing parameters on densification and density distributions were investigated.

Nanocrystalline CrN coatings were deposited by DC and ICP-assisted magnetron sputtering on Si (100) substrates. The influences of the ICP power on the microstructural and crystallographic properties of the coatings were investigated. For the generation of the ICP, radio frequency was applied using a dielectric-encapsulated coil antenna installed inside the deposition chamber. As the ICP power increased from 0 to 500W, the crystalline grain size decreased. It is believed that the decrease in the crystal grain size at higher ICP powers is due to resputtering of the coatings as a result of ion bombardment as well as film densification. The preferential orientation of CrN coatings changed from (111) to (200) with an increase in the ICP power. The ICP magnetron sputtering CrN coatings showed excellent surface roughness compared to the DC magnetron sputtering coatings.

Zr합금의 재결정에 미치는 Sn 영향을 조사하기 위해서 Zr-xSn (x=0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0wt.%) 합금을 판재로 제조하여 $300^{\circ}C-800^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 열처리하였다. 열처리 온도에 따른 Zr합금의 경도, 미세조직 및 석출물 특성을 미소경도계, 광학 현미경 및 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하여 조사하였다. 냉간가공된 Zr-xSn 합금은 회복, 재결정, 결정립 성장의 전형적인 거동을 나타냈으며, 냉간가공재의 재결정은 $500^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 완료되었다. Sn량이 증가함에 따라서 합금의 재결정온도는 증가하였고 재결정후의 결정립 크기는 감소하였다. 경도 변화는 미세조직 변화와 잘 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 실험 결과로부터 냉간 가공된 Zr합금의 재결정은 아결정립의 합체 및 성장기구에 의해서 일어나는 것으로 평가되었다.

Alloy 617 is a Ni-base superalloy and a candidate material for the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) of a very high temperature gas reactor (VHTR) which is one of the next generation nuclear reactors under development. The high operating temperature of VHTR enables various applications such as mass production of hydrogen with high energy efficiency. Alloy 617 has good creep resistance and phase stability at high temperatures in an air environment. However, it was reported that the mechanical properties decreased at a high temperature in an impure helium environment. In this study, high-temperature corrosion tests were carried out at $850^{\circ}C-950^{\circ}C$ in a helium environment containing the impurity gases $H_2$, CO, and $CH_4$, in order to examine the corrosion behavior of Alloy 617. Until 250 h, Alloy 617 specimens showed a parabolic oxidation behavior at all temperatures. The activation energy for oxidation in helium environment was 154 kJ/mol. The SEM and EDS results elucidated a Cr-rich surface oxide layer, Al-rich internal oxides and depletion of grain boundary carbides. The thickness and depths of degraded layers also showed a parabolic relationship with time. A normal grain growth was observed in the Cr-rich surface oxide layer. When corrosion tests were conducted in a pure helium environment, the oxidation was suppressed drastically. It was elucidated that minor impurity gases in the helium would have detrimental effects on the high-temperature corrosion behavior of Alloy 617 for the VHTR application.
