Alumina($Al_2O_3$) and Al 6061 were brazed by using Al-12wt% Si filler metal in a high vacuum environment. The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were investigated. The results obtained were as follows. (1) The maximum tensile strength of 54Mpa was acquired at the processing conditions of high vacuum ($3{\times}10^{-6}Torr$), $620^{\circ}C$ and 10min, but this condition will not be used in the industrial area due to high evaporation of Al alloy composition. (2) Reaction products for holding time and brazing temperature worked as stress relieve layer and the fractures after the mechanical properties test were occurred to the ceramic side or reaction layer. (3) The glancing angle X-ray diffraction analysis for the reaction product of $Al_2O_3/Al$ 6061 were processed. the joint strengths were low due to existed $Al_2Si_5\;and\;SiO_2$.

The micro plated heat exchangers were designed to transfer more heat/volume or mass than previous heat exchangers within the context of the design constraints specified. The increase of the surface-to-volume ratio results in an increase of the interfacial area. This enhances considerably the performance of a heat exchanger. This can be an important component in a wide range of applications fuel cell, aerospace, automotive, electronic system and home heating, etc). In this study, the performance evaluation of micro plated heat exchangers under the counter flows with straight and S-shaped channel are carried out. The pressure drop as well as inlet and outlet fluid temperature were measured at steady state under various operating conditions and the total heat transfer rate were also calculated.

Advanced hard materials based on diamond are in common use. In this study our main goal was employed to analyze, the mechanisms for the rich phases and chromium carbide, interface of a diamond grits brazed to a Ni-based brazing filler metal matrix. When Ni-7Cr-3Fe-3B-4Si (wt. %) was utilized as the brazing alloy, an isothermal holding resulted in the various products(Ni-rich/Cr-rich domains, carbide). According to these results, the chemical compounds and chromium carbides products is considered to play an important role in brazing temperature and time. Especially chromium carbide has an influence on brazing junction properties.

Microscale heat transfer and microfluidics have become increasingly important to overcome some very complex engineering challenges. The use of very small passages to gain heat transfer enhancement is a well documented method for achieving high heat flux dissipation. As the passage size is decreased, the heat transfer performance increases but the pressure drop increases sharply when the passage size is reduced. In this study, the performance evaluation of micro plated heat exchangers under the counter flows with straight, V-shaped and Y-shaped channel are carried out.

The cemented carbide and stainless steel were bonded using a hot-vacuum brazing method to analyze the bonding interface. Since it is suitable for the hot vacuum brazing, nickel metal was used as a binder among the main components of the cemented carbide, and a new cemented carbide material was developed by adjusting the alloy composition. The paste, which is one of the important factors affecting the hot vacuum brazing bonding, was able to improve brazing adhesion by mixing solder as Ni powder and a binder as an organic compound at an appropriate ratio. Division of the stainless steel yielded a dense brazing result. This study elucidated the interfacial characteristics of wear-resistant parts by bonding stainless steel and cemented carbide via hot vacuum brazing.

Microstructure and tensile strength of the vacuum brazed stainless steel were investigated in this study. For vacuum brazing of the stainless steel 303 and 304, the BNi-2, 3, 4 and 7 were used as filler metals. Among these filler metals, the BNi-2 showed excellent wettability at $1050^{\circ}C$. Indeed, the brazed stainless steel using the BNi-2 showed the highest tensile strength (483 MPa) among all brazed specimens. This is attributed to degree of interfacial reaction between the filler metal and stainless steel. Brazed stainless steel with BNi-2, 3 filler metals showed almost elastic deformation followed by plastic yielding and strain hardening up to a peak stress. On the other hand, it is likely that the fracture of the brazed specimens with BNi-4, 7 was occurred in elastic range without plastic yielding up to a peak stress.

An intermediate heat exchanger(IHX) is a key component in a next-generation VHTR with process heat applications such as hydrogen production and also for an indirect gas turbine system. Therefore, high temperature brazing with nickel-based filler metal(MBF-15) was carried out to study the joining characteristic(microstucture, joining strength) of nickel-based superalloy(Haynes 230) by vacuum brazing. The experimental brazing was carried out at the brazing process, an applied pressure of about 0.74Mpa and the three kinds of brazing temperatures were 1100, 1150, and $1190^{\circ}C$ with holding time 5 minute. It's joining phenomena were analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with EPMA. The results of microstructure in the centre-line region of a joint brazed with MBF-15 show a typical ternary eutectic of v-nickel, nickel boride and chromium boride.

In-cryostat helium lines are under installation to transfer a cryogenic helium into cold components in KSTAR device. In KSTAR, three kinds of helium should be supplied into the cold components, which are supercritical helium Into superconduction(SC) magnet system, liquid helium into current lead system, and gas helium into thermal shields. Cryogenic helium lines consist of transfer lines outside the cryostat, in-cryostat helium lines, and electrical breaks. In-cryostat helium lines should be guaranteed of leak tightness for tong time operation at high internal helium pressure of 20 bar. We wrapped the helium line with multi-layer insulator(MLI) to reduce radiation heat and insulated the surface of the high potential part with prepreg tape. The electrical break was fabricated by brazing ceramic tube with stainless steel tube. To ensure the operation reliability at operation temperature, all the electrical break have been examined by the thermal cycle test at liquid nitrogen and by the hydraulic test at 30 bar. And additional surface insulation was prepared with prepreg tape to give structural safety. At present most of the in-cryostat helium lines have been installed and the final inspection test is progressing.

Cavity-type beam position monitors were developed in collaboration with KEK to use for the future accelerators such as international linear collider (ILC) or x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) in PAL. BPM components such as BPM cavity, beam tubes, waveguides and feedthroughs were assembled by brazing at the same time to reduce mechanical errors during the fabrication. There are four screwed pins around outer rim of the cavity for the tuning of cavity frequency and x-y isolation. The resonance frequency of BPM is 6.422 GHz, the inner diameter of cavity is 53.822 mm, and the range of mechanical adjusting is $+ / - 250{\mu}m$. The x-y isolation was measured better than -40 dB after tuned. Test results of signal forms, x-y isolations, sensitivities are satisfied within requirements for the KEK ATF2 beam line.

The powder mixture for fabricating the cermet membranes was prepared by mechanically mixing 60 vol.% vanadium with $Y_2O_3$-stabilized $ZrO_2$ (YSZ). The powder mixture was pressed into disks, which were then sintered in vacuum at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. As-sintered membrane was dense and mounted to a stainless steel ring with brazing filler. Hydrogen fluxes of V/YSZ membrane have been measured in the range of $200{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ with 100% $H_2$. The crack was formed in the both sides of membrane at $350^{\circ}C$ and pressure of 0.5 bar. During permeation experiment, vanadium of V/YSZ membrane reacted with hydrogen to form $V_2H$ which was the origin of crack formation.
