In this study, a micro/nano-random-pattern-structure surface was machined by electric discharge machining (EDM) followed by replicating the EDM surface with a silicone elastomer having low energy and greater hydrophobicity. The variation of hydrophobicity was of prime interest and was examined as a function of the surface roughness of the replicated silicone elastomer. The hydrophobicity was evaluated by the water contact angle (WCA) measured on the relevant surface. For the experiments, the original surfaces were machined by die sinking electric discharge machining (DS-EDM) and wire cutting electric discharge machining (WC-EDM). The ranges of surface roughness were Ra $0.8{\sim}19{\mu}m$ for the DS-EDM and Ra $0.5{\sim}4.7{\mu}m$ for the WC-EDM. In order to fabricate a hydrophobic surface, the EDM surfaces were directly replicated using a liquid-state silicone elastomer, which was thermally cured. The measured WCA on the replicated surfaces for DS-EDM was in the range of $115{\sim}130^{\circ}$ and for WC-EDM the WCA was in the range of $123{\sim}150^{\circ}$. Additionally, the dynamic hydrophobicity was evaluated by measuring an advancing and a receding WCA on the replicated silicone elastomer surfaces.

전기방전의 기본적인 특성을 가지고 있는 플라즈마를 이용하여 재료를 가공하는 증착, 식각, 표면처리 공정에 있어서 플라즈마 내의 전자 충돌 반응에 의한 이온, 라디칼의 생성과 재료 표면의 반응을 분석하는 도구로써 분압 측정은 일반적인 화학 조성 분석에 기원한 오랜 역사를 가지고 있다. 1 amu 정도의 분해능을 가지고 있고 크기가 30 cm 정도에 불과한 사중극자 질량 분석기는 적절한 질량 스캔 시간과 넓은 이온 전류 측정 범위를 가지므로 소형 차등 배기 시스템과 조합하면 1 mTorr 영역의 스퍼터링 시스템에서 1 Torr 영역의 PECVD/PEALD 시스템 진단에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다. Inficon사의 CPM-300과 Pfeiffer사의 Prisma80을 이용한 플라즈마 식각 공정 분석 결과를 보면 동위원소까지 분석이 가능하다. 또한 전자충돌 이온화 에너지를 조절하여 m/q(질량전하비율)가 중첩되는 경우의 해석도 가능하다. 다중 오리피스를 갖는 compact design의 밸브 블록을 이용한 설계에서는 line-of-sight 입사가 불가능하여 이온 전류를 분석할 수 없다는 단점이 있으나 표준 가스를 이용한 정량화 등의 큰 장점들이 있다. 최근 이루어진 연구의 내용으로는 유도 결합 플라즈마 장치에서 전도성 메쉬를 이용한 라디칼 거동 관찰을 위해서 두 대의 CPM-300을 메쉬 전 후에 설치하여 라디칼의 양 변화를 전류 프로브와 같이 사용하여 조사하였다.

Although many defects in PZR heater sleeve have been reported continually from operating experiences in oversea nuclear power plant, utilities get into difficulties in finding appropriate methods for diagnostics of the components due to the limited access or high radiation problems. Recently, as an alternative, diagnostics using Guided Wave Testing(GWT) are proposed and the attention of the methods has been growing gradually because of their long range inspection capability. This study is to investigate the effectiveness of GWT to detect PWSCC in welding points of PZR heater sleeve. Moreover, mode sensitivity analysis of GWT and optimal frequency for the diagnostics of PWSCC are presented by testing the mock-ups specimens that contain artificial flaws.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of an open architecture CNC system for Wire-EDM, with a consideration of the difference between Wire-EDM and NC cutting machines. Recent open architecture controller(OAC) related research results could be applied to directly access Wire-EDM systems at the CNC level. However, previous research about OAC is mostly aimed at NC cutting machines such as milling or lathes, and hence these results are inadequate to apply to Wire-EDM. To close the gap between previous general research on OAC and Wire-EDM specific needs, an open architecture NC model for Wire-EDM composed of a synchronization kernel and a NC functional module is proposed. Based on the control information flow and Wire-EDM specific machining process, the conceptual CNC model and the detailed implementation model for Wire-EDM is suggested.

There is extensive tubing pipe in the nuclear power plant under high temperature and pressure. Erosion and corrosion defects are expected on this tubing pipe due to environmental and mechanical factors. In this study, Guided Ultrasonic Wave technique was applied to detect defects. The technique explores the advantages of the Guided Ultrasonic Wave method that inspects along the wall of the pipe and can travel long distances, providing rapid collection of data. This paper presents a case study of the Guided Ultrasonic Wave testing of 3/8" tubing pipe. This study offers to understand detected signals through correlation between amplitude and depth of defects.

In general, machining time by electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is much longer than that of cutting process, so rough-cut has done for the purpose of reducing machining time prior to EDM Nowadays EDM speed is improving due to the advance of EDM capacity. Therefore a new method, machining a raw material directly by EDM without rough-cut, is used widely. EDM area is varies according to the EDM position in three-dimensional EDM process, so EDM parameters should be determined adaptively based on the EDM area to increase productivity. However it is difficult to calculate EDM area corresponding to the EDM position the EDM workers who have experience in shop floor determine machining parameters by experience. This paper proposes a method for determining EDM parameters based on EDM area corresponding to EDM position.

This paper has comparatively analyzed the characteristics of the machined surface of a specimen made by machining Die Steel STD11 and a specimen obtained by W-EDM steel. If a press die is manufactured through W-EDM, products of shapes that cannot easily be made through machining can be manufactured easily. However, the life of the press die is significantly reduced compared with the press die made through machining. This is believed to be caused by the deformed layer that has occurred on the surface of the press die that was made through W-EDM. The roughness of the 2 specimens was measured, and it was learned that the distribution of the roughness of the specimen made through the 1st W-EDM was rough.

The EDM characteristics of STD11 steel with copper and graphite as electrode have been investigated by using Hansvedt SE-155B electro-discharge machine. The effects of parameters such as duty factor and frequency on electro-discharge machining were discussed. It was found that those parameters have significant influences on the relative electrode wear(REW), metal removalrate(MRR) surface integrity. When the duty factor was increased under the constant frequency of 2 KHz, the MRR was also increased and the REW was decreased. But REW was constant with higher duty factor of 50%. In the case of the smaller duty factor and the higher frequency, the surface roughness has become better. When the graphite was used as electrode at thes same condition, the tool electrode built-up phenomenon has been obsdrved.
