Deposition temperature uniformity of GaN based MQW (multiple quantum well) layers is an important key which affects the wavelength uniformity of white LEDs. Temperature uniformity was assessed by infrared images for both cases of a static and a rotating susceptor. Rotating the susceptor at 2.5 rpm over the induction heater gave 4.3% of temperature non-uniformity. Temperature distribution of the graphite susceptor over the induction heater was numerically modelled and agreed with experimental results.

Induction bending is a method that allows the bending of any material that conducts electricity. This technology applies a bending force to a material that has been locally heated by an eddy current induced by a fluctuating electromagnetic field. Induction bending uses an inductor to locally heat steel through induction. This results in a narrow heat band in the shape to be bent. In general, the reduction of thickness attenuation of a large-diameter steel pipe is not allowed to exceed 12.5%. In this paper, in order to meet the standard of thickness attenuation reduction, a non-uniform heating temperature jump-bending process was investigated. As a result, the developed bending technique meets the requirements of thickness attenuation reduction for large-diameter steel pipes.

The application of the induction bending process to pipe systems in various industrial fields is increasing. Recently, efforts have also been made to apply this bending process to nuclear power plants because it can innovatively reduce welded parts of the curved pipes, such as elbows. However, there have been no cases of the application of induction bending to the piping of nuclear power plants. In this study, the applicability of the P91 induction bending piping for the sodium-cooled fast reactor PGSFR was validated through high temperature low cycle fatigue tests and creep tests using P91 induction bending pipe specimens. The tests confirmed that the materials sufficiently satisfied the fatigue life and the creep rupture life requirements for P91 steel at 550 ℃ in the ASME B&PV Code, Sec. III, Div. 5. The results show that the effects of heating and bending by the induction bending process on the material properties were not significant and the induction bending process could be applicable to piping system of PGSFR well.

An improved version of current-regulated delta modulator (CRDM) is investigated for the output cunent control of v voltage-source inverters that have transformer-coupled series resonant load and are operated at the resonant frequency. Conventional CRDM has not only CUlTent offset problem but also transformer flux saturation problem when i it is applied to induction heating systems that have transformel-coupled loads. To cope with these problems, the effect of flux saturation is analysed, and simple method to av이d the problem is proposed. And integral type of CRDM is a adopted to remove the cunent offset. The boundaries of integrator gain for stable operation is calculated using the c concept of sliding mode controL The validity of proposed strategy is vel퍼ed through simulations and prototype e experiments.

This paper proposes a voltage-fed high frequency resonant inverter having variable voltage variable frequency(VVVF) control function. VVVF control is performed by PWM-TRC method in the boost type chopper and PFM-TRC method in the high frequency resonant inverter. This circuit is suitable for induction heating and melting power supply in industry. The operating characteristics of this inverter are discussed from a theoretical point of view. The results of operating characteristic analyses are given leading to complete designing data.

This paper presents a new efficient method for transient analysis in magnetodynamic systems of linear eddy current problems. This mehtod employs the Fourier transform and the high-order frequency sensitivity of harmonic finite element method. By taking into account the time-constant of magnetodynamic system, the Fourier integral of continuous frequency is converted into the Fourier series of discrete frequency. And with the results of Fourier series expansion of converted input wave form, the responses of each sinusoids is superposed to give the total response of the magnetodynamic systems. But, if the frequency band of input wave form is broad, it takes long computational time since all responses for each sinusoids must be calculated. Therefore, the high-order frequency sensitivity method is employed to estimate the response variation to frequency. The proposed algorithm is applied to an induction heating system to validate its numerical efficiency.

This paper presents the high frequency resonant inverter using ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) known as the soft switching technology, which can reduce the turn-on and turn-off switching losses. Also, the analysis of the proposed resonant inverter is described by adopting normalized parameters, and its operating characteristics are evaluated according to the switching frequency and parameters. An example of 1.3[kW] IH-Jar design technique is presented based on the characteristic values obtained from the theoretical analysis. To prove the validity of the theoretical analysis, the experimental results using IGBT as the switching devices are additionally presented. In the future, it can be practically used in various power systems such as induction heating cooking, IH-Jar etc.

Strong winds according to global warming cause the increase of the frequency and the repair cost of damaged roofs. In the United States, Factory Mutual Insurance Company(FMIC) promotes the roofing design that resists heavy wind-load, as the means of strict criteria. This fact reveals that more durable roofing system will be also required in Korea. Therefore, this study aims at developing such a system with high wind-resistance performance using Thermoplastic polyolefin(TPO) and Electromagnetic induction technology(EIT) than the previous systems. The system presented in this study consists of 4 main devices as follow; 1) a disc to fix sheets for TPO & EIT method, which can conduct structural design according to site condition, such as region, building height, and wind load. 2) a nail to have about 30% stronger lifting-up capacity than that of the previous nail. 3) a disc to fix sheets, which has triangle protuberance not to damage sheets in the repeatable wind load, and 4) a electromagnetic induction device to combine a disc and a sheet by heating uniformly and quickly adhesive agent on the disc. The results of mock-up test illustrate that the system provides wind-resistant performance to achieve satisfactorily the structural design criteria of FMIC. In addition, the system is faster, chipper, and easier than the existing system, and is expected that this roofing system can be applied to the rehabilitations of an existing as well as a new building.
