In recent times, development of nanofluid insulation for power transformers is a hot research topic. Many researchers reported the enhancement in dielectric characteristics of nano modified mineral oils. Considering the drawbacks of petroleum based mineral oil, it is necessary to understand the dielectric characteristics of nanofluids developed with natural ester based oils. Palm oil has better insulation characteristics comparable to mineral oil. However very few research reports is available in the area of nanofluids based on palm oil. Partial discharge (PD) is one of the major sources of insulation performance degradation of transformer oil. It is essential to understand the partial discharge(PD) characteristics by collecting huge data base of PD performance of nano modified palm oil which will increase its confidence level for power transformer application. Knowing these facts, in the present work, certain laboratory experiments have been performed on PD characteristics of nano $SiO_2$ modified palm oil at different electrode configurations. Influence of concentration of nano filler material on the PD characteristics is also studied. Partial discharge inception voltage, Phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) pattern, PD signal time-frequency domain characteristics, PD signal equivalent timelength-bandwidth mapping, Weibull distribution statistical parameters of PRPD pattern, skewness, repetition rate and phase angle variations are evaluated at different test conditions. From the results of the experiments conducted, we came to understand that PD performance of palm oil is considerably enhanced with the addition of $nano-SiO_2$ filler at 0.01%wt and 0.05%wt concentration. Significant reduction in PD inception voltage, repetition rate, Weibull shape parameter and PD magnitude are noticed with addition of $SiO_2$ nanofillers in palm oil. These results will be useful for recommending nano modified palm oil for power transformer applications.

The photovoltaic properties of $TiO_2$ used for the electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells(PSCs) are compared according to the particle size. The PSCs are fabricated and prepared by employing 20 nm and 30 nm $TiO_2$ as well as a 1:1 mixture of these particles. To analyze the microstructure and pores of each $TiO_2$ layer, a field emission scanning electron microscope and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) method are used. The absorbance and photovoltaic characteristic of the PSC device are examined over time using ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectroscopy and a solar simulator. The microstructural analysis shows that the $TiO_2$ shape and layer thicknesses are all similar, and the BET analysis results demonstrate that the size of $TiO_2$ and in surface pore size is very small. The results of the photovoltaic characterization show that the mean absorbance is similar, in a range of about 400-800 nm. However, the device employing 30 nm $TiO_2$ demonstrates the highest energy conversion efficiency(ECE) of 15.07 %. Furthermore, it is determined that all the ECEs decrease over time for the devices employing the respective types of $TiO_2$. Such differences in ECE based on particle size are due to differences in fill factor, which changes because of changes in interfacial resistance during electron movement owing to differences in the $TiO_2$ particle size, which is explained by a one-dimensional model of the electron path through various $TiO_2$ particles.

Recently, owing to the high demand for eco-friendly cars in the automotive industry, noise and vibrations have become major challenges. The use of laminated damping steel is increasing in response to these demands. Laminated damping steel is primarily used in sound insulation plates. The vibration energy is converted into thermal energy due to the viscoelastic resin being located between two steel sheets and being able to damp the vibrations when an external force, such as, noise or vibration is applied to the steel plate. Laminated damping steel is chiefly applied to dash panels in automotive body parts, and because of its structure, junction technology for bonding with other components is necessary. However, there has not been sufficient research conducted on junctions. In this study, regardless of the electrode shape, in the range of 4.0 ~ 8.0 kA welding current, the same welding force and welding time were applied which were 2.8 kN and 200 m/s (12 cycles) and the tensile shear load and nugget size were analyzed after the resistance spot welding between different materials of laminated damping steel with a thickness of 1.035 mm. The results show that in the range of 5 ~ 8 kA welding current, 1.035 mm laminated damping steel meets the MS181-15 standard, which is the technical standard of Hyundai-Kia Motors.

The SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites and the sintered compacts were produced through spark plasma sintering (SPS) under argon atmosphere, and its physical, electrical, and mechanical properties were examined. Also, the thermal image analysis of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites was examined. Reactions between $\beta$-SiC and $ZrB_2$ were not observed via x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The apparent porosity of the SiC+30vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+35vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+45vol.%$ZrB_2$ and SiC+50vol.%$ZrB_2$ composites were 7.2546, 0.8920, 0.6038, 1.0981, and 10.0108%, respectively. The XRD phase analysis of the sintered compacts demonstrated a high phase of SiC and $ZrB_2$. Among the $SiC+ZrB_2$ composites, the SiC+50vol.%$ZrB_2$ composite had the lowest flexural strength, 290.54MPa, the other composites had more than 980MPa flexural strength except the SiC+30vol.%$ZrB_2$ composite; the SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$ composite had the highest flexural strength, 1011.34MPa, at room temperature. The electrical properties of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites had positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR). The V-I characteristics of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites had a linear shape in the temperature range from room to $500^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivities of the SiC+30vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+35vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$ SiC+45vol.%$ZrB_2$ and SiC+50vol.%$ZrB_2$ composites were $4.573\times10^{-3}$, $1.554\times10^{-3}$, $9.365\times10^{-4}$, $6.999\times10^{-4}$, and $6.069\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm$, respectively, at room temperature, and their resistance temperature coefficients were $1.896\times10^{-3}$, $3.064\times10^{-3}$, $3.169\times10^{-3}$, $3.097\times10^{-3}$, and $3.418\times10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range from room to $500^{\circ}C$, respectively.

사용되는 metal구분 없이 반도체 공정장비들을 사용함으로써 cross-contamination을 유발시킬 수 있다. 특히, copper(Cu)는 확산이 쉽게 되어 cross-contamination에 의해 수 ppm정도가 wafer에 오염되더라도 트랜지스터의 leakage current발생 요인으로 작용할 수 있기 때문에 Si-IC성능에 치명적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는데, Si-LSI 실험실에서 할 수 있는 공정과 Si-LSI 실험실을 나와 할 수 있는 공정으로 구분하여 최대한 Si-LSI 장비를 공유함으로써 최소한의 장비로 Cu cross-contamination문제를 해결할 수 있다. 즉, 전기도금을 할 때 전극으로 사용되어지는 TiW/Al sputtering, photoresist (PR) coating, solder bump형성을 위한 via형성까지는 Si-LSI 실험실에서 하고, 독립적인 다른 실험실에서 Cu-seed sputtering, solder 전기도금, 전극 etching, reflow공정을 하면 된다. 두꺼운 PR을 얻기 위하여 PR을 수회 도포(multiple coaling) 하고, 유기산 주석과 유기산 연의 비를 정확히 액 조성함으로서 Sn:Pb의 조성비가 6 : 4인 solder bump를 얻을 수 있었다. solder를 도금하기 전에 저속 도금으로 Cu를 도금하여, PR 표면의 Cu/Ti seed층을 via와 PR표면과의 저항 차를 이용하여 PR표면의 Cu-seed를 Cu도금 중에 etching 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 현상을 이용하여 선택적으로 via만 Cu를 도금하고 Ti층을 etching한 후, solder를 도금함으로써 저 비용으로 folder bump 높이가 60 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상 높고, 고 균일/고 밀도의 solder bump를 형성시킬 수 있었다.

The geometric design of an implant surface may play an important role in affecting early osseointegration. It is well known that the porous surfaced implant had much benefits for the osseointegration and the early stability of implant. However, the porous surfaced implant had weakness from the transgingival contamitants, and it resulted in alveolar bone loss. The other problem identified with porous surface implant is the loss of physical properties resulting from the bead sintering process. In this study, we developed the new bead coating implant to overcome the disadvantages of porous surfaced implant. Ti-6Al-4V beads were supplied from STARMET (USA). The beads were prepared by a plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) and had a nearly spherical shape with a diameter of 75-150 ${\mu}m$. Two types of titanium implants were supplied by KJ Meditech (Korea). One is an external hexa system (External type) and the other is an internal system with threads (Internal type). The implants were pasted with beads using polyvinylalcohol solution as a binder, and then sintered at 1250 $^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr. The resulting porous structure was 400-500 ${\mu}m$ thick and consisted of three to four bead layers bonded to each other and the implant. The pore size was in the range of 50-150 ${\mu}m$ and the porosity was 30-40 % in volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of the newly developed dental implant. The experimental implants (n=16) were inserted in the unilateral femur of 4 mongrel dogs. All animals were killed at 8 weeks after implantation, and samples were harvested for hitological examination. All bead coated porous implants were successfully osseointegrated with peripheral bone. The average bone-implant contact ratios were 84.6 % (External type) and 81.5 % (Internal type). In the modified Goldner's trichrome staining, new generated mature bones were observed at the implant interface at 8 weeks after implantation. Although, further studies are required, we could conclude that the newly developed vacuum sintered Ti-6Al-4V bead coating implant was strong enough to resist the implant insertion force, and it was easily osseointegrated with peripheral bone.

발전소에서 생산된 전기는 여러 단계의 변전과정을 거쳐 소비자에게 전달된다. 이 때 각 소비자에게 적합한 전압으로 송전하기 위해 초기 송전단계 및 산업단지 및 공장과 같은 고전압이 필요한 경우에 사용되는 초고압변압기는 권선 단부에서 고압의 불평등 전계가 형성되어 절연파괴의 위험을 내재하고 있다. 초고압변압기는 전압의 승압과 강압을 위해 권선, 철심이 가장 중요한 부품이다. 특히 권선의 경우 전압이 직접 인가되면서 전압의 크기를 변환하는데 핵심적인 역할을 한다. 이때 권선 단부는 그 형상에 의해 불평등 전계가 형성되고 특히 권선의 모서리에 높은 전계 스트레스가 발생한다. 이러한 불평등 전계에 의한 권선 단부의 전기적 응력을 분산하기 위하여 정전링을 사용하는데 이 정전링은 권선 상·하단 단부에 설치된다. 이러한 정전링을 설계하기 위해서는 다양한 변수를 고려하여야 하지만 그 중 정전링 곡률, 정전링 표면의 절연지 두께, 권선과 권선사이에 설치되는 배리어 수, 배리어 두께가 정전링에 발생되는 전계 스트레스에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 유한요소법(Finite Element Method)을 통해 확인하였고 그 결과를 통해 정전링 설계 시 고려해야 할 사항을 제안하였다.

Recently just as in the automobile industry, shipbuilders also try to reduce material consumption and weight in order to keep operating costs as low as possible and improve the speed of production. Naturally industry is ever searching for welding techniques offering higher power, higher productivity and a better quality. Therefore it is important to have a details research based on the various welding process applied to steel and other materials, and to have the ability both to counsel interested companies and to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of this process. Submerged-arc welding (SAW) process is usually used about 20% of shipbuilding. Similar to gas metal arc welding(GMAW), SAW involves formation of an arc between a continuously-fed bare wire electrode and the work-piece. The process uses a flux to generate protective gases and slag, and to add alloying elements to the weld pool and a shielding gas is not required. Prior to welding, a thin layer of flux powder is placed on the work-piece surface. The arc moves along the joint line and as it does so, excess flux is recycled via a hopper. Remaining fused slag layers can be easily removed after welding. As the arc is completely covered by the flux layer, heat loss is extremely low. This produces a thermal efficiency as high as 60% (compared with 25% for manual metal arc). SAW process offers many advantages compared to conventional CO2 welding process. The main advantages of SAW are higher welding speed, facility of workers, less deformation and better than bead shape & strength of welded joint because there is no visible arc light, welding is spatter-free, fully-mechanized or automatic process, high travel speed, and depth of penetration and chemical composition of the deposited weld metal. However it is difficult to application of thin plate according to high heat input. So this paper has been focused on application of the field according to SAW process for thin plate in ship-structures. For this purpose, It has been decided to optimized welding condition by experiments, relationship between welding parameters and bead shapes, mechanical test such as tensile and bending. Also finite element(FE) based numerical comparison of thermal history and welding residual stress in A-grade 3.2 thickness steel of SAW been made in this study. From the result of this study, It makes substantial saving of time and manufacturing cost and raises the quality of product.

CIGS 화합물 반도체 태양전지에서 광흡수층과 상부투명전극 간의 격자부정합을 낮추기 위해 buffer layer로써 CdS 박막이 적용된다. 높은 광투과도와 낮은 비저항을 갖는 CdS 박막을 제조하기 위하여 화학적 용액 증착법에 의해 반응용액 내의 S 용액의 농도를 고정하고 Cd 용액의 농도를 변화시켜 CdS 박막을 제조하여 특성을 조사하였다. $[S^{2-}]/[Cd^{2+}]$ 농도비에 따른 박막의 구조적, 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. Cd의 농도가 S의 농도보다 높을 경우에는 균일반응이 촉진되어 CdS 결정들이 클러스터 형태로 기판에 흡착되어 결정 크기가 증가하고 광투과율이 감소하였다. 반면, Cd의 농도가 S의 농도보다 낮을 경우에는 용액 내에서 보다 기판위에서 CdS 결정입자가 생성되는 불균일반응에 의해 결정이 생성 및 성장되었고 수백 옹스트롱의 작고 균일한 구형 입자가 생성되었다. Cd 농도가 증가할수록 과잉 Cd가 증가하여 S 공극 생성으로 $[S^{2-}]/[Cd^{2+}]$ 조성비는 감소하였고 CdS 박막의 전하 농도가 증가되어 비저항이 감소되었다.
