In this study, we proposed a high frequency induction hardening analysis method based on electromagnetic-thermal co-simulation. In the high frequency induction heating analysis, the results of the finite element analysis (FEA) (considering the change of the material property and the cooling factor according to the temperature) and those of the high frequency induction hardening experiment (using the S45C specimen) were compared. The hardness of the S45C specimens was measured using the micro Vickers hardness test to determine the depth of hardening. The measurement results were then compared with the results of FEA. The result of high frequency induction heating analysis showed that the temperature was more than $750^{\circ}C$, which is the A2 transformation point of S45C, while the temperature during quenching was below $200^{\circ}C$. The results showed that the difference of the depth of hardening between the FEA and the experiment is 0.2mm.

In recent years, several rapid-mold-heating techniques that can be used for the injection molding of thin-walled parts or micro/nano structures have been developed. High-frequency induction heating, which involves heating by electromagnetic induction, is an efficient method for the rapid heating of mold surfaces. The present study proposes an integrated numerical model of the high-frequency induction heating process and the resulting injection molding process. To take into account the effects of thermal boundary conditions in induction heating, we carry out a fully integrated numerical analysis that combines electromagnetic field calculation, heat transfer analysis, and injection molding simulation. The proposed integrated simulation is extended to the injection molding of a thin-wall part, and the simulation results are compared with the experimental findings. The validity of the proposed simulation is discussed according to the ways of the boundary condition imposition.

유도가열의 경우 고효율, 자동화, 에너지절약, 적정온도제어 등을 하기 때문에 작업환경의 개선 및 접근성에 대한 많은 이점이 있어 널리 이용되고 있다. 최근 공진특성을 이용한 고효율화를 이룬 전력변환기에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 공진을 이용한 유도가열의 경우 인덕턴스와 커패시턴스의 공진점을 추출해야하는데 작업자의 환경이나 코일의 재질 등이 균일하지 않으므로 매번 공진점을 추종해야하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자동으로 공진점을 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안하였고 실험을 통하여 이를 검증하였다.

Cavity mode Whistler wave를 사용하는 자화유도결합플라즈마 (Magnetized Inductively Coupled Plasma, MICP)의 제반 특성을 비등방성 수송계수를 가지는 Drift-Diffusion 근사, 에너지 보존 방정식 및 유도전자계를 self-consistent 하게 고려하여 계산하였다. 이러한 접근법은 비충돌성 전자가열현상을 고려하지 못하는 단점에도 불구하고, 반도체 장비설계에 필수적인 전자온도, 밀도, 플라즈마 전위, 시스템의 임피던스 특성에 대한 경향성 파악에 매우 유용하다. 뿐만 아니라 전자밀도분포가 공간내에 형성되는 R-wave mode에 미치는 영향을 분석할 수 있다. 직경 320 mm를 가지는 작은 반응기에서 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 비교하여 본 모델링 방법의 타당성을 검증한 후, 450 mm wafer가공에 적합한 대면적 플라즈마 반응기에서 플라즈마 특성을 연구하였다. 수 mTorr의 공정압력에서 약 10 Gauss전후의 약한 자장이 인가됨으로서 반경방향의 전자밀도 균일성이 대폭 향상되었다. 플라즈마 및 안테나의 대면적화에 수반되는 높은 Q값이 자장의 인가로 큰 폭으로 감소함으로서 임피던스메칭의 안정성이 비약적으로 개선되었고 전력전달 효율 또한 크게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 차세대 450 mm 반도체 공정장비의 개발에 있어 자화유도결합플라즈마가 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Welding preheating means that the surface of the base material to which the metal is welded before the main welding is heated to a constant temperature. It prevents the cracks of the adjacent influences such as reduction of material hardening degree by controlling the cooling rate, suppression of segregation of impurities, prevention of thermal deformation, and moisture removal. For this reason, it is a necessary operation for high quality welding. Induction heating is an efficient heating method that converts electric energy into heat energy by applying electromagnetic induction phenomenon. Compared with combustion heat generated by gas and liquid, it is clean, stable, and economical as well as rapid heating. It can be heated regardless of the shape, depth and material of the heating body by modifying the shape of the frequency and the coil with a simple structure. In this paper, we implemented a low frequency welding preheating system using induction heating technique and observed the temperature changes of coil resistance, inductance and automotive transmission parts according to the height of each transmission in winding coil for three kinds of automotive transmission parts. We confirmed that the change of current is a very important factor in the low frequency heating.

The applications of high-frequency induction heating has recently been studied in various industrial fields. In this study, induction heating is applied to a SCM440 specimen that is widely used in industry. The specimen was made up of a cylinder 20 mm in diameter and 160 mm long. An induction heating power supply module was used to generate heat in the cylinder at a high frequency (approximately 85 kHz) for 50 seconds. The temperature of the specimen was measured at the 150 mm length in 5 second intervals. Results such as joule heat and temperature are compared with the numerical model analysis using an electromagnetic-thermal co-simulation technique. The analytical model of the cylinder was modeled by considering the skin effect. The median measured temperature after induction heating was conducted for 50 seconds was $57.65^{\circ}C$, compared to a predicted analytical value of $57.27^{\circ}C$. Thus, the analytical results are in good agreement with the experimental results, and this model can predict the induction heating phenomenon numerically.

A novel high power factor Dual Half Bridge Series Resonant Inverter (DHB-SRI) for an induction heating appliance with multiple loads is proposed to remove the interferential acoustic noise caused by the difference between operating frequencies of adjacent loads. The circuit enables independent full power range control of two induction heating elements by one inverter circuit and has minimum switching losses due to the zero voltage switching characteristic. According to the mode analysis, I will explain the operation of the proposed circuit. To evaluate the required cooling capacity, loss analysis is performed through deriving some loss equations. In order to obtain the power factor correction capability and to lessen the system size, suitable design guides are given. Using the designed values, the proto-type circuit with 2.8kW power consumption for each induction heating element is built and tested to verify the operation of the proposed circuit.
