Abstract

Abstract In this study, the Mo-Hf-O ingots containing 0.31-1.14at % Hf and 0.08-1.00at % 0 were prepared by plasma arc melting. The change of microstructure depending on the condition of heat treatmen~ was analysed by optical microscophy, auger electron microscophy, and transmission electron microscophy. Molybdenum powder with the oxygen content of 830ppm was compacted, and then melted. The oxygen content of molybdenum ingots was detected to be 40 -130ppm. As the contents of Hf and 0 increased, the grain size of ingots decreased. When molybdenum igot containing l.14at % Hf and 1.00at % C was heat treated, p-molybdenum carbide in grains was transformed into ${\alpha}$-molybdenum carbide at 130$0^{\circ}C$. Between 140$0^{\circ}C$ and 150$0^{\circ}C$, the precipitation of hafnium carbide was due to the reaction of solute Hf and C, and the hafnium carbide was saturated at grain boundaries at 150$0^{\circ}C$. When the sample was heat treated from 150$0^{\circ}C$ to 170$0^{\circ}C$, Hafnium oxide more stable thermodynamically precipitated both at grain boundaries and in grains after hafnium carbide had been dissolved at grain boundaries.

플라즈마 아크 용해에 의해 0.31-1.14at%Hf과 0.08-1.00at%C의 조성을 갖는 Mo시편을 제조하여, 열처리에 따른 미세조직 변화를 광학현미경, AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy)및 투과전자현미경(TEM)으로 조사하였다. 산소함량이 약 830ppm인 초기분말을 압분체로 성형하여 용해한 결과, 산소함량 약 40-130ppm의 시편으로 제조할 수 있었으며, 이때 Hf및 C의 첨가량이 증가할수록 시편의 결정립은 미세화되었다. Mo-1.14at% Hf-1.00at % C 조성의 시편을 열처리한 결과 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 결정립내의 편상의 ${\beta}$-Mo 탄화물(molybdenum carbide)이 열역학적으로 더욱 안정한 $\alpha$-Mo 탄화물로 변태되기 시작하고, 1400-150$0^{\circ}C$온도 구간에서는 급내에 의해 고용되어 있던 Hf과 C이 반응하여 미량의 Hf탄화물이 석출되었으며, 150$0^{\circ}C$에서는 결정립계에 Hf 탄화물이 편석되었다. 1500-170$0^{\circ}C$에서는 결정립계에 편석된 Hf탄화물이 분해되고 열역학적으로 더욱 안정한 Hf 산화물(Hafnium oxide)이 석출되었으며, 결정립내에도 미세한 Hf 산화물이 석출되었다.
