초록

Zr합금의 재결정에 미치는 Sn 영향을 조사하기 위해서 Zr-xSn (x=0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0wt.%) 합금을 판재로 제조하여 $300^{\circ}C-800^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 열처리하였다. 열처리 온도에 따른 Zr합금의 경도, 미세조직 및 석출물 특성을 미소경도계, 광학 현미경 및 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하여 조사하였다. 냉간가공된 Zr-xSn 합금은 회복, 재결정, 결정립 성장의 전형적인 거동을 나타냈으며, 냉간가공재의 재결정은 $500^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 완료되었다. Sn량이 증가함에 따라서 합금의 재결정온도는 증가하였고 재결정후의 결정립 크기는 감소하였다. 경도 변화는 미세조직 변화와 잘 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 실험 결과로부터 냉간 가공된 Zr합금의 재결정은 아결정립의 합체 및 성장기구에 의해서 일어나는 것으로 평가되었다.

To investigate the effect of Sn on the recrystallization of Zr-based alloys. Zr-xSn (x=0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0wt.%) alloys were manufactured to be the sheets through the defined manufacturing procedure. The specimens were annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The hardness, microstructure and precipitate of the alloys with the annealing temperature were investigated by using micro- knoop hardness tester, optical microscope(O/M) and transmission electron microscope(TEM), respectively. The cold-worked Zr-xSn alloys showed the typical behavior of the recovery. recrystallization, and grain growth. The recrystallization of Zr-xSn alloys occurred between $500^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$. As the Sn content increased. the recrystallization temperature of the cold-worked alloys increased but their grain sizes after recrystallization decreased. It is suggested that the recrystallization of the cold- worked Zr alloys be occurred by the subgrain coalescence and growth mechanism.
