Abstract

The crystal structure of arc melted $ZrV_{x}Mn_{1-x}Ni_{1.0},\;ZrV_{x}Mn_{0.8-x}Ni_{1.2},\;ZrV_{x}Mn_{0.6-x}Ni_{1.4}$ alloys which are known to have AB2 type Laves structure was investigated. They had mixed phases of C14 and C15. The radius ratio ($r_{A}/r_{B}$) of atoms in A site to that of B site was found to be an important parameter in explaining the omposition dependence of the crystal structure The C15 structure showed a linear increase with the ratio in as-cast conditions. However, the annealed alloys revealed a definite ratio at which the stability of both phases are divided distinctly. The composition of the alloys could be closely controlled by maintaining the argon pressure in the chamber over 1 arm during arc melting. In contrast, the alloy ingot melted in VIM showed a significant loss of hln.

아크용해로와 진공유도로를 사용하여 니켈-수소 전지의 음극용으로 주목받고 있는 AB2 타입의 ZrV /sub x/Mn/sub 1-x/Ni/sub 1.0/, ZrV/sub x/Mn/sub 0.8-x/Ni/sub 1.2/, ZrV/sub x/Mn/sub 0.6-x/Ni/sub 1.4/합금을 용해하였다. 이들 합금은 용해한 상태에서 C14과 C15의 혼합상을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 합금조성 및 열처리에 따라 혼합상분율이 크게 변화하였다. 이들의 결정상 및 상분율은 합금원소들의 평균원자반경비(r/sub A//r/sub B)에 따라 결정되는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 특히 열처리한 합금의 경우에는 평균원자반경비가 1.254일때를 경계로 하여 두 상의 명확간 안정구역이 설정되었다. 가압한 분위기에서 아크용해한 경우 합금성분의 손실은 미미하였으나 진공유도로를 사용하여 용해한 경우 Mn이 다량 휘발감소하여 조성이 크게 변화하였다.
