The reaction sintering of Al2O3-ZrO2-Nb composite has been investigated using Al2O3, and ZrAl2 powders. Two kinds of specimens, 78.3Al2O3-14.0Nb2O5-7.7ZrAl2 in wt.% (AZN-5) and 72.3Al2O3-13.8Nb2O5-7.5ZrAl2-6.4ZrO2(AZN-10), were prepared. Powder compacts were sintered at various temperatures between 1$600^{\circ}C$ and 1$700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in Ar. DTA and X-ray analysis have showen that a reaction between Nb2O5 and ZrAl2 started at 149$0^{\circ}C$ to form Al2O3, ZrO2, and Nb. The sintered density increased with the sintering temperature. AZN-10 specimen showed higher density than AZN-5 specimen for almost all the experimental conditions. Al2O3-ZrO2-Nb composite hot pressed after reaction sintering showed higher toughness and lower hardness than hot pressed Al2O3-ZrO2. The crack propagated through many metallic Nb particles which showed plastic deformation, and this is the cause of the increase in toughness of Al2O3-ZrO2-Nb composite over Al2O3-ZrO2.

40$0^{\circ}C$ H$_{2}$O, D$_{2}$O및 $O_{2}$분위기에서 Zr-2.5Nb합금의 부식거동을 분석하였다. Martensitic $\alpha$'-Zr상이나 $\alpha$-Zr과 $\beta$-Zr상의 Zr-2.5Nb합금인 경우, 부식분위기에 매우 민감하여, $O_{2}$속에서 가장 큰 부식속도를 보였다. 반면, $\alpha$-Zr나 $\beta$-Zr상의 경우, 부식 매질에 따른 별다른 차이없이 높은 부식저항성을 보였다. 이러한 Zr-2.5Nb 합금의 미세조직 및 부식 매질에 따른 부식거동변화는 Zr-2.5Nb 합금의 음극 지배 부식반응의 관점으로 해석되었으며, 이들 결과를 이용하여 CANDU 형및 RBMK 형 Zr-2.5Nb 압력관의 가동조건 차이를 설명할 수 있었다. Zr-2.5Nb 합금의 모든 조직에서 주로 단사정 ZrO$_{2}$산화물이 형성되었으며, 산화물내 정방정 ZrO$_{2}$비율은 산화물 두께가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다.

In this study, the circumferential creep behaviors ofpilgered advanced Zirconium alloy tubes such as Zr-Nb-O and Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe were investigated in the temperature range of $400\sim500^{\circ}C$ and in the stress range of 80$\sim$150MPa. The test results indicate that the stress exponent for the steady-state creep rate of the Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe alloy decreases with the increase of stress(from 6$\sim$7 to 4), while that of the Zr-Nb-O alloy is nearly independent of stress(5$\sim$6). The activation energy of creep deformation is found to be nearly the same as the activation energy for Zr self diffusion. This indicates that the creep deformation may be controlled by dislocation climb mechanism in Zr-Nb-O. On the other hand, the transition of stress exponent(from 6-7 to 4) in Zr-Nb Sn-Fe strongly suggests the transition of the rate controlling mechanism at high stresses. The lower stress exponent at high stresses in Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe can be explained by the dynamic deformation aging effect caused by interaction of dislocations with Sn substitutional atoms.

[ $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ ] laminate composites have been successfully fabricated by alternately stacking $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ powder layer and Nb sheet, followed by hot pressing in a graphite mould. The fabricating parameters were selected as hot press temperatures. The instrumented Charpy impact test was carried out at the room temperature in order to investigate the relationship between impact properties and fabricating temperatures. The interfacial shear strength between $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ and Nb, which is associated with the fabricating temperature and the growth of interfacial reaction layer, is also discussed. The plastic deformation of Nb sheet and the interfacial delamination were macroscopically observed. The $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ laminate composites had the maximum impact value when fabricated at 1623K, accompanying the increase of fracture displacement and crack propagation energy. The interfacial shear strength of $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ laminate composites increased with the growth of interfacial reaction layer, which resulted from the increase of fabricating temperature. there is an appropriate interfacial shear strength for the enhancement of impact value of $Nb/MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ laminate composites. A large increase of interfacial shear strength restrains the plastic deformation of Nb sheet.

이트리아 안정화 지르코니아(Y-TZP)에 5가 산화물$(Ta_2O_5,\;Nb_2O_5)$을 첨가하여 $1500^{\circ}C$온도에서 상압소결한 삼성분계중 quasi-binary system인 $ZrO_2-YTa(Nb)O_4$의 조성영역안에서 상 안정성을 관찰하기 위해 상태도를 작성하였으며, 결정립 크기나 annealing 온도에 상관없이 상 안정성을 유지하는 non-transformable $t-ZrO_2$ solid solution$(NT_{ss}$ )영역을 확인하고 안정화 mechanism을 조사하였다. $NT_{ss}$ 의 상 안정성은 정방정 fergusonite 구조를 갖는 $YTa(Nb)O_4$의 안정화로 상 변태를 억제하여 우수한 상 안정성을 유지하는 것으로 추정되었다. 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 상 변태율이 가장 좋은 transformable-TZP $(T_{ss/})$ 를 에 첨가하여 조사한 결과 mixture의 조성이 $NT_{ss}$ 영역밖의 $NT_{ss}$영역에 위치하여도 상 안정성과 우수한 기계적 특성을 갖는다는 것이 발견되었다.

The stress-strain responses and oxidation properties of cold-rolled Zr-1.5Nb-O and Zr-1.5Nb-O-S alloys were studied. The U.T.S. (ultimate tensile strength) of cold-rolled Zr-1.5Nb-O-S alloy with 160 ppm sulfur (765 MPa) were greater than that of Zr-1Nb-1Sn-0.1Fe alloy (750 MPa), achieving an excellent mechanical strength even after the elimination of Sn, an effective solution strengthening element. The addition of sulfur increased the strength at the expense of ductility. However, the ductile fracture behavior was observed both in Zr-Nb-O and Zr-Nb-O-S alloys. The beneficial effect of sulphur on the strengthening was observed in the cold rolled Zr-1.5Nb-O-S alloys. The activation volume of cold-rolled Zr-1.5Nb decreased with sulfur content in the temperature region of dynamic strain aging associated with oxygen atoms. Insensitivity of the activation volume to the dislocation density and the decrease of the activation volume at a higher temperature where the dynamic strain aging occurs support the suggestion linking the activation volume with the activated bulge of dislocations limited by segregation of oxygen and sulfur atoms. The addition of sulfur was also found to improve the oxidation resistance of Zr-Nb-O alloys.

Transparent xBa(La$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_{3}$-(1-x)Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_{3}$ (x=8.5, 9.0[mol.%], Zr/Ti=70/30~40/60) ceramics were fabricated by the two-stage sintering method, the electrooptic properties were investigated with Ba(La$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_{3}$ content and Zr/Ti composition ratio. Decreasing the Zr/Ti ratio, the electrooptic property was changed from a quadratic electrooptic effect to a linear electrooptic effcet. In the BLN-PZT 9.0/50/50 specimen having the tetragonal structure, the linear electrooptic coefficient had the highest value of 6.01*10$^{-10}$ [m/V] and in the BLN-PZT 9.0/55/45 specimen which located near the MPB region, the quadratic electrooptic coefficient had the highest value of 10.53*10$^{-16}$ [m$^{2}$/V$^{2}$].

고연소도 핵연료피복관용 신합금 재료를 개발하기 위한 연구로 Zr-0.8Sn-xNb(x = 0.2,0.4,0.8, 1.0) 계 합금을 제조하여 Nb 첨가량이 Zr 합금의 미세구조 및 부식특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 미세조직 관찰결과 Nb첨가량이 증가함에 따라 결정립의 크기는 강소하였고 석출물의 량은 증가하였다. $360^{\circ}C$ 물 분위기에서 부식시험 한 결과 Nb 함량이 적을수록 부식저항성이 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며며, Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Nb 합금이 가장 우수한 부식저항성을 보였다. 동얼 두께의 산화막에 대하여 XRD 분석한 결과, 내식성이 우수한 0.2 wt.% Nb 합금에서는 산화막내 tetra-$ZrO_2$의 분율이 높게 관찰되었다. 합금설계 관점에서 Zr-O.8Sn-xNb 합금계에 Nb올 첨가할때 Nb은 고용도 이하로 첨가되어야 한다고 사료된다.

The thermodynamical estimation of the interfacial reaction and the impact properties of $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites containing SiC, $NbSi_2$ or $ZrO_2$ particles are investigated. Laminate composites, which comprise alternating layers of $MoSi_2$ with the particle and Nb foil, were fabricated by the hot press process. It is clearly found out that the interfacial reaction of $Nb/MoSi_2$ can be controlled by the addition of $ZrO_2$ particle to the $MoSi_2$ phase. The addition of $ZrO_2$ particle increases both the impact value and the sintered density of Nb/McSij, The suppression of the interfacial reaction is caused by the formation of $ZrSiO_2$ in $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ matrix mixture.
