The vacuum interrupter (VI) is used for medium-voltage switching circuits due to its abilities and advantages as a compact and environmental friendly circuit breaker. In general, the application of a sufficiently strong axial magnetic field (AMF) permits the arc to be maintained in a diffused mode to a high-current vacuum arc. A full understanding of the vacuum arc physics is very important since it can aid to improve the performance of vacuum interrupter. In order to closely examine the vacuum arc phenomena, it is necessary to predict the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) characteristics by the multidisciplinary numerical modeling, which is coupled with the electromagnetic and hydrodynamic fields, simultaneously. In this study, we have investigated the electromagnetic behaviors of high-current vacuum arcs for two different types of AMF contacts, which are coil-type and cup-type, using a commercial finite element analysis (FEA) package, ANSYS. The present results are compared with those of MAXWELL 3D, a reliable electromagnetic analysis software, for verification.

재료의 표면개질은 표면층의 조직변화에 대한 개질법과 표면피복에 의한 개질 법으로 나눌 수 있다. 조직변화에 의한 개질법으로는 침탄, 질화, 이온주입 및 금속 확산 등이 있고, 표면피복에 의한 개질법으로는 도장, 도금, 육성용접, 물리증착(PVD) 및 화학증착(CVD) 등이 있는데, 용사법은 표면피복에 의한 개질법에 속한다. 용사기술 은 비교적 최근에 발달된 표면피복 기술로서 그림1과 같이 플라즈마, 가스화염 또는 아크열원을 이용하여 금속 또는 비금속 재료를 용융 혹은 반용융 상태로 모재에 고속 도로 분사하여 충돌 적층시켜 피복하는 공정으로 다른 표면개질기술에 비해서 여러 가지 잇점을 가지고 있다. 이것은 거의 모든 재질의 모재(금속, 세라믹, 유기재료 등) 에 대해 피막의 형성이 가능하고, 용사재료의 종류도 다양하다(금속, 합금, 각종 세라 믹, 플라스틱, 각종 복합재료 등). 또한 노재크기의 제한이 없고, 대형의 재료에 대해 서 한정된 부위의 피복이 가능하며, 모재의 열영향이 적고, 피막의 형성속도가 다른 피막법에 비해 빠른 장점을 가지고 있다. 그 예로 알루미나(Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$)를 피복할 경우 화학증착(CVD)법에 의해서는 피막형성 속도가 약 2 * $10^{-4}$mm/min 인데 비해 용사법에 의해서는 약 7.5 * $10^{-1}$mm/min로 매우크다. 이와같은 많은 장점을 갖고있는 용사법을 이용한 표면개질에 대해 본 기술보고에서 서술하고자 한다.

Ti-45at%AI-1.6at%Mn 조성을 갖는 금속간화합물의 장시간 및 반복산화 거동을조사하기 위하여 반응소결법 및 플라즈마 아크 용해법으로 제조한 시편에 대하여 80$0^{\circ}C$에서는 반응소결재와 용제재 모두 등온 및 반복산화에 대하여 우수한 저항성을 나타내었다. 90$0^{\circ}C$에서는 반응소결재의 경우에는 등온 및 반복산화에 대하여 우수한 저항성을 보였으며, 중량변화와 산화피막의 박리는 극히 적었다. 이에 비해 용제재의 경우에는 등온 및 반복산화에 의해 중향이 크게 변하였으며 피막의 박리도 극심하였다. 90$0^{\circ}C$에 있어서 두 재료간의 이러한 산화거동 차이는 기지/산화물 계면 부근에 형성된 산화층의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 간주하였다. 반응소결재의 경우에는 계면 부근에 연속적인 AO$_{3}$O$_{3}$층이 형성되며, 이러한 층이 산화에 대한 보호막으로 작용하는데 비하여 용제재에 있어서는 계면 부근에 AO$_{3}$O$_{3}$와 TiO$_{2}$의 혼합층이 형성되었다. 용제재의 반복산화시에 보여진 피막의 박리는 냉각시에 TiO$_{2}$와 기지간의 열팽창계수 차이에 기인하여 발생하는 열응력을 TiO$_{2}$가 견디지 못하고 박리를 초래한 것으로 해석하였다.

C/SiC composites were developed by a liquid silicon infiltration(LSI) method for use as heat-resistant parts of solid and liquid rocket propulsion engines. The heat resistance characteristics according to the composition ratio (carbon / silicon / silicon carbide) were evaluated by specimen test through arc plasma, supersonic torch test. An ablation equation for oxidation reactions was presented. Through the combustion test it was verified that various parts such as nozzle insert, exit cone and combustion chamber heat resistant parts for rocket propulsion can be manufactured and proved high ablation performance and thermal structure performance.

This study was to evaluate the effects of several light curing units on the microleakage of composite resin restorations in primary teeth. The types of curing units were traditional low intensity halogen light(Optilux 360), plasma arc light(Filpo) low heat plasma arc light(Aurys) and high intensity LED(Freelight 2). After preparing cavities on sound primary teeth, cavities were filled with composite resin(Z100) using the same resin bond agent(Scotchbond Multi-Purpose) and were cured with each curing light system. After storing each specimen in sterile water for 24 hours, thermal circulation was done 1,000 times followed by pigmentation using 2% methylene blue solution. Each specimen was sliced and the degree of pigmentation was graded. When microleakage is graded, the average of Aurys was 0.95 which was the lowest and Freelight 2(1.05), Filpo(1.25), Optilux 360(1.30) followed. But values were not shown statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The results suggest that the newly developed curing units which has advantage in children by decreasing discomfort and procedure time can increase the microleakage of the composite resin.

Low temperature plasma applied with partial oxidation is a technique to produce synthesis gas from methane. Low temperature plasma reformer has superior miniaturization and start-up characteristics to reformers using steam reforming or CO$_2$ reforming. In this research, a low temperature plasma reformer using GlidArc discharge was proposed. Reforming characteristics for each of the following variables were studied: gas components ratio (O$_2$/CH$_4$), the amount of steam, comparison of reaction on nickle and iron catalysts and the amount of CO$_2$. The optimum conditions for hydrogen production from methane was found. The maximum Hydrogen concentration of 41.1% was obtained under the following in this condition: O$_2$/C ratio of 0.64, total gas flow of 14.2 L/min, catalyst reactor temperature of 672$^{\circ}C$, the amount of steam was 0.8, reformer energy density of 1.1 kJ/L with Ni catalyst in the catalyst reactor. At this point, the methane conversion rate, hydrogen selectivity and reformer thermal efficiency were 66%, 93% and 35.2%, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to compare curing efficiency of newly developed curing units to traditional halogen curing unit by measuring thermal change and surface microhardness according to curing light system. Materials and mathods : The types of curing units were traditional low intensity halogen light(Optilux 360), plasma arc light(Flipo), low heat plasma arc light(Aurys), low intensity LED(Starlight), and high intensity LED(Freelight2). Temperature at the tip of light guide was measured by a digital thermometer using K-type thermocouple. And after resin was filled to 2, 3, 4mm teflon mold, bottom temperature measured during curing. After 24 hours, microhardness of top surface and bottom surface of each resin specimen were measured. Results : The result of this study can be summarized as follows, 1. As measuring temperature of curing unit tips, Flipo is the highest as $52.4^{\circ}C,\;Freelight2(37.86^{\circ}C),\;Optilux360(32.68^{\circ}C),\;Aurys(32.34^{\circ}C),\;and\;Starlight(26.14^{\circ}C)$ were followed. 2. Flipo and Freelight2 were the highest similarly and Optilux360 and Aurys were similarly next and Starlight was lowest in temperature of bottom surface of resin mold. 3. Microhardness of top surface were generally similar, and Aurys was relatively low. 4. Optilux 360 and Freelight2 were the highest, and Flipo, Starlight, and Aurys were followed in microhardness of bottom surface. Conclusions : The results suggest that careful use of Flipo and Freelight2 might be able to cure greater depth of resin composite and do not cause thermal problems than other curing units.

The present study focused on the synthesis of a bismuth-antimony-tellurium-based thermoelectric nanopowders using plasma arc discharge process. The chemical composition, phase structure, particle size of the synthesized powders under various synthesis conditions were analyzed using XRF, XRD and SEM. The powders as synthesized were sintered by the plasma activated sintering. The thermoelectric properties of sintered body were analyzed by measuring Seebeck coefficient, specific electric resistivity and thermal conductivity. The chemical composition of the synthesized Bi-Sb-Te-based powders approached that of the raw material with an increasing DC current of the are plasma. The synthesized Bi-Sb-Te-based powder consist of a mixed phase structure of the $Bi_{0.5}Sb_{1.5}Te_{3}$, $Bi_{2}Te_{3}$ and $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$ phases. This powder has homogeneous mixing state of two different particles in an average particle size; about 100nm and about 500nm. The figure of merit of the sintered body of the synthesized 18.75 wt.%Bi-24.68 wt.%Sb-56.57 wt.%Te nanopowder showed higher value than one of the sintered body of the mechanically milled 12.64 wt.%Bi-29.47 wt.%Sb-57.89 wt.%Te powder.
