Recently, multi cell tube which is used for a cooling system of automobiles is mainly manufactured by the conform extrusion but this method is inferior as compared with direct extrusion in productivity per the unit time and in the equipment investment. Therefore, it is essential for the conversion of direct extrusion with porthole die. The direct extrusion with porthole die can produce multi cell tube which has the competitive power in costs and qualities compared with the existing conform extrusion. This study is designed to evaluate metal flow, welding pressure, extrusion load, tendency of mandrel deflection that is affected by variation of porthole shape in porthole die. Estimation is carried out using finite element method under the non-steady state. Also this study was examined into the cause of mandrel fracture through investigating elastic deformation of mandrel during the extrusion.

Effect of process parameters on the quality of condenser discharge weld for coated sheet steels was discussed. The welding specimens were coated with pure Zn of 20/20 g/m2 in the production line. Direct measurements of welding parameters such as the discharge current, the pressures and the voltage drop across the electrodes were carried out with welding process monitoring system. High speed camera was also utilized to analyze the weld formation process. Test results indicated that the relation between weld strength and applied energy was stabilized at the acceptable welding heat input range. It was thought that the acceptable welding heat input should be redefined based on the monitored data because the calculated value of the welding heat input could hardly be utilized if the discharge condition was changed. Mechanical test results and high speed photographs showed that expulsion deteriorated the weld quality and the strength at the same time especially when the size of the spatter was large enough to carry the molten metal, which should form the nugget, out of the welding spot. Results also demonstrated that the discharge current should be applied at the appropriate time during the process because sufficient nugget was not produced if the time was deviated from the optimum range.

This paper describes the analysis of extrusion process and integrity for a condenser tube which is a component of the heat exchanger in automobile and all conditioning apparatus. Recently, according to the development of analysis method using the computer, the numerical simulation have been applied to the 3-dimensional hot extrusion process with complex section area of the non-steady statement and then results of the analysis have been applied to optimal die design and process design. In this paper, firstly, the die design was performed for a condenser tube with a multi-hole section and the rigid-plasticity FE analysis performed of extrusion process. Secondly, we estimated metal flow of billet, extrusion load, welding pressure in chamber etc. and evaluated the pressure and elastic strain of the die land and mandrel tooth profile through a stress analysis of the die. Finally, the extrusion test was performed to estimate the validity of FE analysis. This paper confirmed that the designed extrusion die of the research is satisfactorily designed fur integrity of condenser tube.

Condenser tube which is used for a cooling system of automobiles is mainly manufactured by conform extrusion. However, direct extrusion using porthole die in comparison with conform extrusion has many advantages such as improvement of productivity, reduction of production cost etc. In general, the porthole die extrusion process is useful for manufacturing long tubes with hollow sections and consists of three stages(dividing, welding and forming stages). Especially, Porthole die for producing condenser tube is very complex. Thus, in order to obtain the detailed mechanics, to assist in the design of proper die shapes and sizes, and to improve the quality of products, porthole die extrusion should be analyzed in as non-steady state as possible. This paper describes FE analysis of non-steady state porthole die extrusion for producing condenser tube with multi-hole through 3D simulation in the non-steady state during the entire process to evaluate detailed metal flow, temperature distribution, welding pressure and extrusion load. Also to validate FE simulation of porthole die extrusion, a comparison of simulation and experiment results was presented in this paper.

In this study, it is important that we have an understanding of the metal flow for manufacturing condenser tube in porthole die extrusion, because this need to provide for household appliances market that is expected to grow into the major market of the cooling system hereafter. Condenser tube is mainly manufactured by conform exclusion. However, this method was not satisfied a series of the needs for manufacturing condenser tube as compared with porthole die extrusion. The deforming skill recently is required high-productivity, high-accuracy and reducing lead-time, thus it is essential to substitute conform exclusion by porthole die exclusion. Porthole die extrusion has many advantages such as improvement of productivity, reduction of production cost etc. In general, the porthole die extrusion process consists of three stages(dividing, welding and forming stages). In order to obtain the detailed mechanics, to assist in the design of proper die shapes and sizes, and to improve the quality of products, porthole die extrusion should be analyzed in as non-steady state as possible during the entire process to evaluate detailed metal flow, temperature distribution, welding pressure and extrusion lead, and therm stress analysis was practiced to obtain effective stress and elastic deformation value. A analytical results provide useful information the optimal design of the porthole die for condenser tube.

This paper deals with EMC filter for a personal computer( PC). A PC contains many sources of noise inside and out, with many connected cables. High noise levels are also emitted from the PC became of high-speed signals. So radiated noise from the computer body may sometimes cause problems. Therefore, we design and fabricate an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter for PC, which is composed of feed-through capacitors and ferrite beads with high permeability. Through extensive test, the proposed EMC filter is shown to have excellent differential-mode and common-mode noises filtering characteristics above 30 dB in the frequency band from 10 MHz to 1.5 GHz. The immunity characteristics are improved more than 10 to 30 dB over the frequency band from DC to 1.8 GHz

We stabilized the frequency and power of a CW radio-frequency-excited $CO_2$ laser on the peak of the Doppler broadened gain curve using the photoacoustic effect generated from the laser itself. The condenser microphone is installed in the radio frequency discharge chamber to detect a photoacoustic signal. The photoacoustic signal is fed to a lock-in stabilizer as a reference signal for stabilization. The frequency stability is estimated to be better then 5.4${\times}$10$^{-8}$ at the P(20) line. The stabilized output variation was reduced 9.3%, compared to 100% for a free running laser.

It is very important to prevent the electromagnetic interference and to prevent malfunction of electronic equipments mounted on ships. To solve these problems, in this paper, the EMC filter was designed, fabricated, and tested. The Ni-Zn ferrite beads with high permeability were used to make large inductance as the inductor and the feed-through capacitors without any resonance points. As a result, excellent attenuation characteristics of 25~70 dB were obtained from the 0 kHz~1.5 GHz band. In addition, when the Electric Fast Transient (EFT) of 4 kV in the level 4 of IEC 61000-4-4 was induced the EFT reduced to 600 V. Therefore, it was clearly shown that the developed EMC felter can be used for suppressing the electromagnetic interference on-board electronic devices and equipments.

In this paper the internal or external of the ships mounted electronic devices due to the propagation of electromagnetic interference and to prevent malfunction EMC filter was designed and fabricated. It was designed and fabricated with Ni-Zn ferrite beads of high permeability to make large inductance as the inductor and Feed-through capacitors, which did not have any resonance point, to restraint resonance effectively, and the characteristics was evaluated. The results from the 0 kHz$\sim$1.5 GHz bandwidth of $25{\sim}70$ dB were able to obtain excellent attenuation characteristics. And, when the Electric Fast Transient (EFT) of 4 kV in the level 4 of IEC 61000-4-4 was induced, it was soon attenuated more than 1/6 to 600 V. Therefore, it was confirmed that the developed EMC filter can be used for suppressing ships mounted electromagnetic interference between electronic devices.
