To investigate the corrosion behavior of Zr-1.0Nb-xSn (x=1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5wt. %)alloy system, the corrosion tests of Zr-1.0Nb-xSn alloys were carried out in steam at $400^{\circ}C$ for 125 days and in 70ppm LiOH solution at $360^{\circ}C$ for 180 days. The matrix microstructures of the test specimens were analyzed using TEM and the oxide structures on the test specimens were analyzed using XRD. It was found from the analyses that the more Sn content the alloy had, the faster it was corroded and with the increase of Sn content in the alloy the fraction of $t-ZrO_2$ to $m-ZrO_2$ was decreased. It was also found that the alloys having more Sn showed more dislocation density than those having less.

Mg-Zn-Zr ternary alloys containing 6wt% Zn and (0, 0.4, 0.6)wt% Zr, which is added for grain refinement, can be cast into complex shape by squeeze casting. The influence of Zn and Zr as additional elements on microstructure and mechanical characteristics is investigated by OM, SEM, WDX, XRD and microvickers hardness measurement. The microstructure of Mg-Zn-Zr alloys consists of primary ${\alpha}-Mg$ and MgZn eutectic compound between dendrites. The grain size is decreased from $136{\mu}m$ to $97\;{\mu}m$ by Zr addition, resulting in that the hardness is increased from 42Hv to 59Hv. Furthermore, the grain size is changed to $83{\beta}$ and the hardness is increased to 65Hv by additional infiltration pressure. These results indicate that the Zr addition and additional infiltration pressure are effective for grain refinement acting as an important factor to increase the hardness. The increment in hardness by the Zr addition is slightly larger than that by the additional infiltration pressure.

Zr-0.86Sn 합금이 $\beta{\rightarrow}\alpha$상변태 특성에 미치는 Fe와 V의 영향을 광학현미경과 투과전자현미경으로 연구하였다. 공냉의 경우에는 V의 첨가량이 증가함에 다라 $\beta{\rightarrow}\alpha+\beta$변태온도가 감소하여 미세한 $\alpha$-lath들의 폭을 더욱 감소시켰으나, Fe의 경우에는 첨가량이 증가함에 다라 오히려 $\alpha$-lath의 폭이 약간 증가하였다. 수냉의 경우에는 모든 합금에서 martensite 미세구조를 보였다. 수냉한 Zr-0.8Sn, Zr-0.8Sn-0.1Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.1V 그리고 Zr-0.8Sn-0.2V 합금에서는 주로 slipped martensite 미세구조가 형성된 반면에 수냉한 Zr-0.8Sn-0.4V 합금에서는 twinned martensite 미세구조가 관찰하였다. 수냉한 Zr-0.8Sn 합금에서 V의 첨가향이 증가함에 따라 slipped martensite에서 twinned martensite 미세구조로의 천이는 M(sub)s 온도의 감소에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of final annealing temperature on the microstructure and creep characteristics were investigated for the Zr-lNb-0.2X (X=0, Mo, Cu) and Zr-lNb- 1Sn-0.3Fe-0.1X (X=0, Mo, Cu) alloys. The microstructures were observed by using TEM/EDS, and grain size and distributions of precipitates were analyzed using a image analyzer. The creep test was performed at $400^{\circ}C$ under applied stress of 150 MPa for 10 days. The $\beta$-Zr was observed at annealing temperature above $600^{\circ}C$. In the temperature above$ 600^{\circ}C$, the grain sizes of both alloy systems appeared to be increased with increasing the final annealing temperature. The creep strengths of Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.3Fe-0.1X alloys were higher than those of Zr-1Nb-0.2X ones due to the effect of solid solution hardening by Sn in Zr-lNb-lSn-0.3Fe-0.1X alloy system. Also, Mo addition showed the strong effect of precipitate hardening in both alloy systems. The creep strength rapidly decreased with increasing the annealing temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$. However, a superior creep resistance was obtained in the sample that annealed to have a second phase of $\beta$-Zr. It was considered that the appearance of $\beta$-Zr would play an important role in the strengthening mechanism of creep deformation.

지르칼로이-4와 장주기 고연소도용으로 개발된 신피복관인 Zirlo에 대해 LOCA 사고시 피복관이 노출되는 온도영역에서 대기압 조건에서 산화실험을 수행하였다. 온도범위는 $700{\;}-{\;}1200^{\circ}C$이다. 산화시간, 온도 에 따른 산화속도 모델이 제시되었다. 지르칼로이-4는 $1000^{\circ}C$이하의 대가압 수증기에서 3차 법칙을 따르는 반면에, Zirlo는 지속적으로 2차 법칙을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상에선 Zirlo의 내부식성이 더 높게 평가되었다. 두 합금의 산화거동차이를 분석하기 위해 산화된 시편을 광학현미경으로 비교하였다. $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상 고온에서 Zirlo의 금 속내 $\alpha$상의 성장률이 지르칼로이-4에 비해 더 빨라, $\alpha$상이 더 넓게 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 피복관 표면에 이미 존재하는 산화막은 지르칼로이-4와 Zirlo 모두 일정시간 동안 보호성을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다.

TSSD, TSSP, and TSSP2 of hydrogen for optimized-Zirlo (Zirlo™) alloy were measured by DSC in the range of 53-457 wppm. Solvus curves of the TSSs are derived and proposed in this study. The results show that the temperature gap between TSSD and TSSP solvus lines of Zirlo™ are similar to those of other zirconium alloys, but another gap between the TSSD and TSSP2 line differs significantly. In particular, the TSSP2 solvus line becomes closer to the TSSD solvus line than to TSSP unlike Zircaloy-4, so ΔT_TSSD-TSSP2 of Zirlo™ decreases with decreasing temperature. This implies that hydride reorientation can take place more significantly in Zirlo™ than in Zircaloy-4, and the limited temperature variation of 65 ℃ during the vacuum drying and the cooling-down process may not be sufficient to prevent the triggering of hydride reorientation in Zirlo™ cladding under long-term dry storage.

Spin Transfer Torque (STT) is of great interest in data writing scheme for the Magneto-resistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) using Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ). Scalability for high density memory requires ferromagnetic electrodes having the perpendicular magnetic easy axis. We investigated CoZr as the ferromagnetic electrode. It is observed that interfacial magnetic anisotropy is preferred perpendicular to the plane with thickness dependence on the interfaces with Pt layer. The anisotropy energy (Ku) with thickness dependence shows a change of magnetic-easy-axis direction from perpendicular to in-plane around 1.2 nm of CoZr. The interfacial anisotropy (Ki) as the directly related parameters to switching and thermal stability, are estimated as $1.64erg/cm^2$ from CoZr/Pt multilayered system.

Zr-Si의 2원계 합금에서 Si함량 변화가 Zr의 부식특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 Si 함량을 0.01-0.1wt.%로 조절하여 Zr-Si 2원계 합금을 제조하고 $360^{\circ}C$, 2660psi 물 분위기의 autoclave에서 100일동안 부식 실험을 수행하였다. 0.01wt.%, 0.05wt.%의 Si 첨가에서는 검은색의 균일한 산화막이 생성되었고, 부식속도의 천이는 발생하지 않았다. 그러나 0.01wt.%에서는 흰색의 산화막이 생성되었고, 70일에서 부식속도 천이가 발생하였다. Sigkafid이 0.01에서 0.01wt.%로 증가할수록 무게증가량은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Si 첨가량 변화에 따라 산화막구조의 변화는 나타나지 않았지만, 산화막의 전기적 성질에 많은 영향을 주었다. Si 첨가량 변화에 따라 산화막구조의 변화는 나타나지 않았지만, 산화막의 전기적 성질에 많은 영향을 주었다. Zr-Si 2원계 합금에서 Si은 tetragonal 구조의 $Zr_{3}$Si로 석출되었으며, Si 함량이 증가할수록 석출물의 크기와 부피분율이 증가하였고, 석출물의 크기와 부피분율 증가에 따라 석출물의 short-circuit 효과 때문에 무게증가량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

The purpose of this paper is, based on the theoretical background of the principle of gas purification and absorption, and the absorbing ability of metals, to syudy the efficiency of gas purification of inorganic gases using Zr alloys, so as to contribute to the IT industry. To produce and distribute gas with high purity and ultra-high purity, different types of gas purifier are currently being used: distillation type, getter type, catalyst type, absorption at low-temperature type, and membrane separation equipment. From the different purification methods mentioned above, the getter type gas purifier is capable of not only high performance and capacity but also P.O.U(Point Of Use) method. The key of the getter type gas purifier is its efficiency of gas purification, which is the subject chosen for this study.

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-$ZrO_2$.
