In recent years, xenon plasma arc lamp was introduced for high-intensity curing of composite filling materials in direct resin restorations. In this study, two types of restorative materials, namely composites point $4^{(R)}$ and $Z250^{(R)}$ were selected and curing was conducted using a conventional halogen light and two plama curing lights. Two different resin composites were cured using the different units($Flipo^{(R)}$, Ultra-lite 180A, and $TriLight^{(R)}$) and tested for microhardness. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that exposure to a plasma curing lamp for 3, 6. 9 seconds is equivalent to 20 or 40 seconds of irradiation using a conventional halogen curing unit. 1. $Flipo^{(R)}$ and Ultra-lite 180A were able to polymerize point $4^{(R)}$ at 6 seconds to a degree equal to that of the $TriLight^{(R)}$(control) at 40 seconds. 2. $Flipo^{(R)}$ was able to polymerize $Z250^{(R)}$ at 9 seconds to a degree equal to that of the $TriLight^{(R)}$(control) on the bottom surface at 20 seconds. whereas Ultra-lite 180A could not do. 3. Two plasma curing units were able to cure the test-composites with bottom/top ratios approximately 61% to 96% at 3 to 9 seconds. There were some differences between the two composite brands, with $Z250^{(R)}$ displaying less difference between top and bottom hardness values. For point $4^{(R)}$ and $Z250^{(R)}$, at least 6 or 9 seconds were necessary to produce microhardness equivalent to that of the $TriLight^{(R)}$ curing at 20 or 40 seconds.

A new type plasma reactor is proposed to decompose CF4 diluted with N2 gas in atmospheric pressure. The arc plasmas is surrounded with a waterwall which acts as a source of water vapor, the solvent of HF, resultant product after decomposition, and conveyer to take away fluorine compound from exhaust gas. Abatement more than 99% is achieved by small size plasmas such as 1 cm in diameter, 25cm in length and 3.4KW of DC discharge power in such gas as the mixture of 100 sccm of CF4 and 15 slm of N2. Reactors of this type are to be expanded to such a system as Nitrogen flow of 50 slm with 200 sccm of CF4 and 7-8 KW discharge power.

Surface hardening of AC4C aluminium alloy with TiC powders was obtained by plasma transferred are (PTA) method, Bead appearance, microstrucutre and wear behavior were characterized in relation to the torch current, powder feed rate and wear condition. The width and the depth of bead were mainly increased with increasing torch current. The comparison of wear behavior between AC4C alloy and PTA treated AC4C alloy showed the remarkable enhancement of wear resistance.

Carbon nitride films were grown on Si (100) substrate by a laser-electric discharge method with and without a magnetic field assistance. The magnetic field leads to vapor plume plasma expending upon the ambient arc discharge plasma area. Influence of the magnetic field has resulted in increase of a crystallite size in the films due to bombardment (heating) of Si substrates by energetic carbon and nitrogen species generated during cyclotron motion of electrons in the discharge zone. Many crystalline grains were observed in the morphology of the deposited films by scanning electron microscopy. In order to determine the structural crystalline parameters, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analysis the grown films.

MgO thin films were deposited by internal ICP-assisted reactive-magnetron sputtering with bipolar pulse bias on a substrate to suppress random arcs. Mg is reactively sputtered by a bipolar pulsed DC power of 100 kHz into ICP generated by a dielectrically shielded internal antenna. At a mass flow ratio of $Ar/O_2$ = 10 : 2 and an ICP/sputter power ratio of 1 : 1, optimal film properties were obtained (a powder-like crystal orientation distribution and a RMS surface roughness of approximately 0.42 nm). A bipolar pulse substrate bias at a proper frequency (~a few kHz) prevented random arc events. The crystalline preferred orientations varied between the (111), (200) and (220) orientations. By optimizing the plasma conditions, films having similar bulk crystallinity characteristics (JCPDS data) were successfully obtained.

Carbon nitride is one of the new carbon materials which show interesting properties. After the theoretical calculation by LIu and Cohen, many researchers are trying to prepare $\beta$-$C_3N_4$ which may be harder than diamond. Many carbon nitride films synthesized till now by various methods are amorphous and the N/C ratios in the films are usually below 0.5. First we review shortly the synthesis of carbon nitride thin films by plasma, ion and laser processing. Second we report on the preparation of amorphous carbon nitride thin films by shielded arc ion plating and the structural and mechanical properties of the films.

The plasma spray process was used to deposit coatings of $ZrO_2$-8wt%Y2O3 powders on mild steel sub-strate, and the characteristics of as-deposited and heat treated coatings have been investigated. Particulary, the variations of porosity, wear resistance, thermal barrier and thermal shock resistance in $ZrO_2$-8wt% $Y_2O_3$coatings after heat treatment under vacuum circumstance have been investigated. The porosity of the coating layer was increased with increased spray distance. In the case of the arc current of 450A and at the spray distance of 50mm, it was obtained the lowest amount of porosity. After heat treatment, the amount of porosity was found to be decreased, and the wear resistance, microhardness and thermal shock resistance were im-proved. However, the thermal barrier was decreased.

레이저 아크 하이브리드 용접에서 보호가스로 헬륨을 사용하였을 때 레이저에 의해 발생하는 금속 증기가 아크 플라즈마의 거동에 미치는 영향에 관하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 해석에 필요한 기본적인 물성치들은 헬륨과 금속 증기의 부분압에 따라 비율로서 결정하였고 아르곤을 사용하였을 때와 비교하여 헬륨 플라즈마의 특성을 파악하였다. 또한 보호가스의 종류에 따라 레이저 빔의 흡수율을 계산하여 고옥의 플라즈마가 발생할 때 헬륨 보호가스가 적당함을 보였다.

아크 플라즈마의 온도 분포를 측정하는 방법으로 개발된 CCD 카메라를 이용한 온도 측정 방법을 비대칭 플라즈마의 온도 분포 측정에 적용하기 위해 비대칭 플라즈마의 데이터 변환에 이용 가능한 아벨 역산 방법을 개발하였다. 비대칭 플라즈마 중 V-groove 상의 아크는 타원형의 플라즈마로 볼 수가 있으므로 타원형의 단면을 가지는 플라즈마에 대해 온도 측정을 수행하고 그 결과로서 모재로 전달되는 아크의 열속(heat flux)의 분포를 예측 할 수 있었다.
