본 연구에서는 액상 칼슘에 의한 $ZrO_2$의 직접환원에 대하여 조사하였다. $ZrO_2$의 직접환원에 미치는 Ca과 $ZrO_2$의 몰비, 반응시간, 그리고 반응온도의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 실험은 5분에서 60분까지 Ar 분위기의 밀폐된 스테인리스강제의 반응기에서 실시하였다. 반응온도 1223 K, Ca과 $ZrO_2$의 몰비가 3 이상인 조건에서 대부분의 $ZrO_2$는 5분만에 Zr으로 환원되었다. 반응온도가 1337 K이고 Ca을 이론적인 양의 2배를 첨가한 경우 금속 Zr 중의 산소농도는 최저 0.66 wt%를 나타내었다. 그리고 Zr 입자의 형상은 반응온도와 반응시간에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The effects of the cooling and annealing conditions on the microstructures and corrosion properties were investigated for the Cu-contained Zr-Nb alloy (Zr-1.1Nb-0.07Cu). After annealing at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, the specimens were cooled by three methods of water quenching, air cooling, and furnace cooling. Widmanstatten structures were developed in both air- and furnace-cooled specimens, and the Widmanstatten plate width of the furnace-cooled specimens was wider than that of the air-cooled ones. The weight gain in the furnace-cooling case was higher than that in the air-cooling case. This could be the reason why the diffusion time was more enough during the furnace cooling than the air cooling. The oxide of the furnace-cooled specimen was nonunformly formed just beneath the Widmanstatten plate boundaries, where ${\beta}_{Zr}$ phases were exised concentrately. Compared with the $640^{\circ}C$ annealing after the water quenching, the $570^{\circ}C$ annealing could make the ${\beta}_{Nb}$ phases and a concomitant reduction of the Nb in the matrix, and then it could improve the corrosion resistance with the increase of the annealing time. It would be concluded that the corrosion resistance of the Zr-1.1Nb-0.07Cu was good when the Nb concentration in the matrix was reached at an equilibrium level and then the ${\beta}_{Nb}$ phase was formed.

Recently, thin film processes for oxides and metal deposition, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), have been widely adapted to fabricate solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In this paper, we presented two research area of the use of such techniques. Gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) showed high ionic conductivity and could guarantee operation at low temperature. But the electron conductivity at low oxygen partial pressure and the weak mechanical property have been significant problems. To solve these issues, we coated GDC electrolyte with a nano scale yittria-doped stabilized zirconium (YSZ) layer via atomic layer deposition (ALD). We expected that the thin YSZ layer could have functions of electron blocking and preventing ceria from the reduction atmosphere. Yittria-doped barium zirconium (BYZ) has several orders higher proton conductivity than oxide ion conductor as YSZ and also has relatively high chemical stability. The fabrication processes of BYZ is very sophisticated, especially the synthesis of thin-film BYZ. We discussed the detailed fabrication processes of BYZ as well as the deposition of electrode. This paper discusses possible cell structure and process flow to accommodate such films.

전해연마를 한 지르코늄(Zr)을 가지고 $F^-$ 이온이 함유된 무기 전해질과 유기 전해질에서 2 단계 양극산화를 진행하여 산화 지르코늄($ZrO_2$) 나노 다공성 산화막을 제조하였다. 2 단계 양극산화를 진행하면서 무기 전해질에서보다 유기 전해질에서 만들어진 지르코늄 산화막이 보다 균일한 나노 다공성 산화막을 가지게 되었다. 나노 다공성 산화막의 크기와 구조는 FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction), EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy)를 이용하여 특성을 분석하였고 형광스펙트럼을 측정하여 $ZrO_2$ 나노 다공성 산화막의 형광성을 알아보았다.

To study the effects of zirconium (Zr) addition on the microstructure, hardness and the tensile properties of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic-martensitic steels, two kinds of 9Cr-ODS ferritic-martensitic steels with nominal compositions (wt.%) of $Fe-9Cr-2W-0.3Y_2O_3$ and $Fe-9Cr-2W-0.3Zr-0.3Y_2O_3$ were fabricated by the mechanical alloying (MA) of premixed powders and then consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) techniques. The experimental results showed that the average grain size decreases with Zr addition. The trigonal ${\delta}$-phase $Y_4Zr_3O_{12}$ oxides and body-centered cubic $Y_2O_3$ oxides are formed in the 9Cr-Zr-ODS steel and 9Cr non-Zr ODS steel, respectively, and the average size of $Y_4Zr_3O_{12}$ particles is much smaller than that of $Y_2O_3$. The dispersion morphology of the oxide particles in 9Cr-Zr-ODS steel is significantly improved and the number density is $1.1{\times}10^{23}/m^3$ with Zr addition. The 9Cr-Zr-ODS steel shows much higher tensile ductility, ultimate tensile strength and Vickers hardness at the same time.

본 연구는 Zirconia(zirconium oxide) 입자가 페놀수지 경화거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Zirconia 입자의 함량에 따른 페놀수지의 승온 및 등온 경화 거동을 분석하였다. Zirconia 함량을 달리한 페놀수지의 점도 및 열분해 특성을 조사하였다. DSC 분석으로부터 경화도와 경화율을 구하였다. 마지막으로 Zirconia 입자가 첨가된 페놀수지의 DSC 데이터로부터 경화 반응에 대한 활성화 에너지를 계산하였다. 그 결과 zirconia 함량이 높을수록 경화가 지연되고 경화에 필요한 활성화에너지가 더 커지는 경향이 나타났다. 또한 TGA를 이용한 열분해 분석 결과 Zirconia의 함량이 증가할수록 더 적은 중량감소가 관찰됐다. Carbon/Phenol 프리프레그의 표면 점착성은 Zirconia 함량에 따라 부분적으로 변화하였으나 유의한 영향은 없었다.

Stoichiometric, uniform, amorphous ZrO$_2$ films with an equivalent oxide thickness of ∼1.5nm and a dielectric constant of ∼18 were deposited by an atomic layer controlled deposition process on silicon for potential application in meta-oxide-semiconductor(MOS) devices. The conduction mechanism is identified as Schottky emission at low electric fields and as Poole-Frenkel emission at high electric fields. the MOS devices showed low leakage current, small hysteresis(〈50mV), and low interface state density(∼2*10e11/cm2eV). Microdiffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed a localized monoclinic phase of ${\alpha}$-ZrO$_2$ and an amorphous interfacial ZrSi$\_$x/O$\_$y/ layer which has a correspondign dielectric constant of 11

The effect of copper oxide on migration and interaction of protons in barium zirconate was investigated using density functional theory. One copper atom was substituted for a zirconium atom site, and a proton was added to a $3{\times}3{\times}3$ barium zirconate superstructure. An energy barrier of 0.89 eV for proton migration was the highest among several energy barriers. To investigate the interaction between multiple protons and a copper atom, two protons were added to the superstructure. Various proton positions were determined by the interaction between the two protons and the copper atom.

Alloys of Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al(wt%) were oxidized in air between 700 and $900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the oxidation resistance is much better than that of either commercially available pure Ti-6Al-4V(wt%) alloys. The oxide scales were primarily composed of thick Ti-ox-ides which were formed by the inward diffusion of oxygen from the atmosphere. At higher temperatures a thin $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ layer was formed on Ti-oxides owing to the outward diffusion of Al from the base alloys. Molybdenum, the noblest metal among the alloy components, was predominantly present behind the oxide-substrate interface. Zirconium, an oxygen active metal, was present at both the oxide layer and the substrate.

Zr은 고온에서의 높은 치수안정성, 내식성은 물론 낮은 중성자 흡수단면적을 지녀 원자력산업용 소재 중 1차 방사능 차폐재인 핵연료 피복관으로 사용되며 현재까지 다른 소재로 대체 불가능하다. 하지만 Hf을 정제한 Zr sponge 제조기술은 미국, 프랑스, 러시아만 가지고 있어 원자력의존도가 높은 한국에서는 국가전략물자로 분류 철저히 관리되고 있다. 국내 유통되는 Zr의 대부분은 원자력산업에 사용되어 지며 유통구조는 정제된 Zr합금을 국외로부터 수입하여 tube로 가공 후 핵연료집합체로 제조되고, 그 외 소량이 합금첨가원소 및 폭약재 등 고부가가치 일반산업에 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 Zr 제조기술에 대한 현재산업현황 및 정련기술을 살펴보고, 최근 연구되고 있는 Electrolytic reduction process와 Molten oxide electrolysis와 같은 신 제련기술에 대한 소개 및 Zr recycling의 전반적인 기술소개도 포함하였다.
