A basic study on the discharge phenomenum of rod-to-rod microgap in the deionized water has been investigated with emphasis on the microgap spacing. The I-V charateristics for the case of ac and dc applied voltages had 3 different regions, a low conduction ohmic region, a medium conduction corona discharge region, and a high conduction arc discharge region. The corona discharge in the deionized water for the case of ac and de applied voltages had no different from the those in the air. But the arc discharge in the water occurred pulsative with sound which, however it is not clear, would be encounted due to the influences from the low temperature of the ambient water, vast of electrolytic generated electronegative gases(e.g. $O_2$, OH, O) and water molecules($H_2O$), and the space charge effects near the rod in the microgap from the ions of $H^+$, $OH^-$, $O_2^-$, etc, whose mobilities in the water are originally very low.

Various types of plasma source applied in $CH_4$ decomposition process are compared. DBD by pulse and AC power, spark by pulse and AC power, rotating arc and hollow cathode plasma are chosen to be compared. The results show that $CH_4$ conversion per given unit power is relatively high in hollow cathode plasma and rotating arc that induces rather high temperature condition and that is why both thermal dehydration and plasma induced decomposition contribute for the overall process. In case of DBD wherein high temperature electron and low temperature gas molecule coexist, the process shows low conversion rate, for in rather low temperature condition the contribution of thermal dehydration is lowered. Selectivity of $C_2H_6$ and $C_2H_2$ is shown to be a good parameter of the relative contribution of plasma chemistry in the overall process. From the results we concluded that required condition of plasma source for a cost effective and high yield $CH_4$ decomposition is to have characteristics of both thermal plasma and non thermal plasma in which temperature is high above a certain threshold state for thermal dehydration and electron induced collision is maximized in the same breath.

The surface of AC8A Ah alloy was modified by adding the Cu powder using a Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. Under the optimum fabricating conditions, the modified surface of AC8A Ah alloy was observed to possess the sound microstructure with a minimum porosity. Hardness and wear resistance properties of the as-fabricated alloy were compared with those of the 76 heat-treated one. In case of the as-fabricated alloy, the hardness of the modified layer was twice that of the matrix region. Although significant increase in the hardness of the matrix region was observed after T6 heat treatment, the hardness of the modified layer was not observed to change. The wear resistance of the modified layer was significantly increased compared to that of the matrix region. The microstructure of a weld zone and the matrix region were investigated using the optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The primary and eutectic silicon in the weld zone were finer and more curved than in the matrix region, while some precipitates has had been found therein. According to the TEM observation, the predominant precipitate present in the weld zone was the $\theta$'phase, which is precipitated during cooling by rapid solidification in PTA welding process. Improvement of hardness and wear properties in the weld zone in the as-fabricated condition can be explained based on the presence of $\theta$’precipitates and fine primary and eutectic silicon distribution.

본 논문에서는 44V AC 및 DC전원에서 직렬아크에 의한 전선 접속부에서의 산화물 성장 특성에 대하여 실험, 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 전선은 동전선과 황동선으로 각각 지름 1.0mm을 사용하였으며, 교류의 경우 3가지 접속조건, 직류의 경우 4가지의 접속 조건으로 하여 전선 접촉면에서 직렬아크가 발생하였을 때 2A, 3A, 4A의 전류에서 산화물의 성장 특성과 접촉면 양단의 전압강하 변화, 산화물의 성장 길이 및 방향, 온도 분포 등에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험, 분석결과, 동전선과 동전선의 접속에서 가장 산화물의 성장이 잘 이루어짐을 볼 수 있었으며, 교류에서는 접촉면을 중심으로 좌우로, 직류에서는 접촉면을 중심으로 +극(양극) 방향으로만 산화물이 성장함을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 AC 및 DC 전원에서의 전기안전을 위한 기술 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Although many studies have been carried out about binary gas mixtures with $SF_6$, few studies were presented about breakdown characteristics of $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures. At present study the breakdown characteristics of $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures in non-uniform field was performed. The experiments were carried out under AC voltage and standard lightning impulse(SLI) voltage. Breakdown characteristics were investigated for $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures when AC voltages and standard lighting impulse voltage was applied in a needle-plane. The needle-plane electrode whose gap distance was 3 mm were used in a test chamber. $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures contained from 0 to 100% $SF_6$ and the experimental gas pressure ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa. The breakdown characteristics of $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures in non-uniform field may be influenced by defects like needle-shaped protrusions. In case of slowly rising SLI voltage and AC voltage it is enhanced by corona-stabilization. This phenomena caused by the ion drift during streamer development and the resulting space-charge is investigated. In non-uniform field under negative SLI voltage the breakdown voltage was increase linearly but under positive SLI voltage the breakdown voltage increase non-linearly. The breakdown voltage in needle-plane electrode displayed N shape characteristics for increasing the content of $SF_6$ at AC voltage. $SF_6/CF_4$ mixture has good dielectric strength and arc-extinguishing properties than pure SF6. This paper presents experimental results on breakdown characteristics for various mixtures of $SF_6/CF_4$ at practical pressures. We could make an environment friendly gas insulation material with maintaining dielectric strength by combing $SF_6\;and\;CF_4$ which generates a lower lever of the global warming effect.

Due to the variety of disturbance, it is not ease to accomplish the in-process detection of weld line with non-contact sensor. To get around this difficulties problem develop an automatic seam tracking weld system, the reliable signal processing algorithm has been recommanded. In this research, laser displacement sensor is applied as a seam finder in the automatic tracking system. The sensor is controlled by a dc servo motor which is mounted at X-Y moving table. X-Y moving table manipulated by an ac servo motor controls the position and velocity of the welding torch. First, X-Y table moves to Y-axis to search the welding joint feature before starting the welding, and welding joint is from the scanning data and weighting factor for each other. Second, weld line is determined using proposed signal processing algorithm during welding process. Form the experimental results, we could see the possibility that laser displacement sensor with procesed algorithm can be used as a seam finder in welding process under the severe noise (spatter,arc light etc.) condition

The electric arc welding machine with high-frequency inverter is studied in this paper which could make more saving in energy than conventional ones with inherent low efficiency. The inverter circuit has been already adopted to special welding machines such as MIG and TIG for improving operating performances so much. But this adoption has not be applied to conventional ac arc welding machine until now. The proposed technology for higher efficiency is to apply the high frequency inverter, together with noise-cut transformer. Overall output characteristics are investigated in aspect of cost and circuit performance. The proposed system is conducted practical experiments using PWM controller.
