상업용 HVOF 토치 (원래 코팅 용도로 설계됨)가 재료 테스트를 위한 고온 유동원으로 수정되었다. 이 연구에서는 수냉식 상용 Gardon 게이지를 사용하여 노즐 출구에서 떨어진 네 위치에서 열유속을 측정하였다. 냉각수 온도 데이터는 동일한 위치에서 열량 측정 열유속 (calorimetric heat flux)을 계산하는 데 사용되었다. 두 방법의 열유속을 비교 한 결과 열량 측정 열유속이 Gardon 게이지 열유속보다 몇 배 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 두 가지 방법 사이에 나타나는 불일치를 이해하기 위해 열량 측정방법에 대한 가설을 적용하였다. 이것은 가설에 대한 상당한 검증으로 간주될 수 있지만 적절한 수치모델을 사용하여 추가 개선이 필요하다.

열 플라즈마(thermal plasma) 는 저온 플라즈마(cold plasma)와 달리 이온과 전자와 중성입자들이 충분한 에너지 교환으로 인해 열평형 상태를 가진다. 열 플라즈마를 생성 시킬 때 전극 사이에서 아크방전을 시켜 제트 형태로 플라즈마를 발생시키는 것을 플라즈마 토치(plasma torch)라고 한다. 이러한 플라즈마 토치는 화학 원소 분해, 강판 절단, 유해 기체 분해 등으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 토치를 수치적으로 해석하여 플라즈마의 특성을 알아보았다. 수치해석적 접근방법으로 열 플라즈마는 LTE (local thermodynamic equilibrium)을 가정하였으며 one-fluid 이론을 적용하였다. 이때 사용된 코드는 DCPTUN으로서 $C^{+}^{+}$로 작성된 열플라즈마 유동의 특성해석 코드인 동시에 SIMPLE 알고리즘을 이용한 유체 코드이다. 시뮬레이션은 2차원 축대칭이며 정렬격자계 및 비정렬격자계 모두에서 사용이 가능하도록 되어있다. 또한 맥스웰 방정식을 통해 electromagnetic field를 풀도록 하여 RF 시뮬레이션이 가능하도록 하였다. 이와 같은 열 플라즈마 시뮬레이션을 통해서 플라즈마 토치의 특성을 알아보았다.

Several plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings with two- and three-layers were characterized and tested for the application of cooling tube coatings of oxygen convert gas recovery system (OG cooling system) in the steel making plant. Thermal cycling tests using a torch heating with compressed air cooling were carried out and characterized before and after the tests. The effects of metallic bond coat as well as ceramic top coat were also studied. Possible failure mechanisms with low carbon steel substrate were assessed in term of microstructure, porosity, bond strength, thermal expansion coefficient, and the phase transformation. Finally, the results of field tests at the OG cooling system are presented and discussed their microstructural degradation. Test results have shown that three-layered coatings perform better than two-layered coatings.

To prevent the oxidation of ultra-high-temperature ceramic zirconium diboride (ZrB2) at high temperatures, this study fabricated sintered composites containing silicon carbide and tungsten carbide, and examined the properties related to hightemperature oxidation. Spark plasma sintering was employed for rapid sintering, and a high-temperature torch test was conducted on samples to determine their surface oxidation behaviour. The composites oxidised at high temperature showed different surface oxidation behaviour according to the type of carbide-based additive. Composites containing both carbides, which have different oxidation mechanisms, exhibited better resistance to oxidation than those containing a single carbide.

Aluminum alloys are being employed in automobile parts as strive to reduce overall vehicle weight to meet demands for improved fuel economy and reduction in vehicle emissions. Al-based composites reinforced with ceramic ($Al_2O_3,\;SiC,\;TiC\;and\;B_4C$) applications in a variety of components in automotive engines, such as liners, where the tribological properties of the material are important. In this study, Al-base composites reinforced with TiC particle powders has been developed for producing plasma spray coatings. The composite plasma spray powders were prepared Al-13Si-3Mg(wt%) alloy with TiC(40, 60 and 80wt%) particles ($0.2~5{\mu}textrm{m}$) by drum type ball milling. The composite powders ($36~76{\mu}textrm{m}$) were sprayed with plasma torch. Plasma sprayed coatings were heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The wear resistances of the plasma sprayed coatings were found to decrease with increasing TiC content and improved with heat treatment. AlSiMg-40% TiC heat-treated coatings were showed the best wear resistance in this study.

Atmospheric pressure microwave induced plasmas are used to excite and ionize chemical species for elemental analysis, for plasma reforming, and for plasma surface treatment. Microwave plasma differs significantly from other plasmas and has several interesting properties. For example, the electron density is higher in microwave plasma than in radio-frequency (RF) or direct current (DC) plasma. Several types of radical species with high density are generated under high electron density, so the reactivity of microwave plasma is expected to be very high [1]. Therefore, useful applications of atmospheric pressure microwave plasmas are expected. The surface characteristics of SUS304 stainless steel are investigated before and after surface modification by microwave plasma under atmospheric pressure conditions. The plasma device was operated by power sources with microwave frequency. We used a device based on a coaxial transmission line resonator (CTLR). The atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) in the case of microwave frequency (880 MHz) used Ar as plasma gas [2]. Typical microwave Pw was 3-10 W. To determine the optimal processing conditions, the surface treatment experiments were performed using various values of Pw (3-10 W), treatment time (5-120 s), and ratios of mixture gas (hydrogen peroxide). Torch-to-sample distance was fixed at the plasma edge point. Plasma treatment of a stainless steel plate significantly affected the wettability, contact angle (CA), and free energy (mJ/$m^2$) of the SUS304 surface. CA and ${\gamma}$ were analyzed. The optimal surface modification parameters to modify were a power of 10 W, a treatment time of 45 s, and a hydrogen peroxide content of 0.6 wt% [3]. Under these processing conditions, a CA of just $9.8^{\circ}$ was obtained. As CA decreased, wettability increased; i.e. the surface changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. From these results, 10 W power and 45 s treatment time are the best values to minimize CA and maximize ${\gamma}$.

A low pressure DC plasma jet has been used to obtain diamond films from a mixture of $CH_4$ and $H_2$ with high deposition rate (>1$\mu\textrm{m}$/min). The effects of the deposition conditions such as torch geometry, substrate temperature, gas mixing ratio, chamber pressure, axial magnetic field on the diamond film properties such as morphology, purity, uniformity of the film and deposition rate, etc. have been examined with the aid of Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, and Raman Spectroscopy. Both the growth rate and particle size increased rapidly for low methane concentrations but saturated and the morphology changed from octahedral to cubic structure when the concentration exceeded 1.0 %. Higher growth rates (>1.5${\mu}m$/min) can be obtained by applying an axial magnetic field to the DC plasma jet. Diamond obtained from the magnetized plasma jet also shows a sharp peak at 1332.5$cm^{-1}$ in the Raman Spectra and this result implies that higher growth rate with a good quality diamond films can he obtained by applying an external magnetic field to the plasma jet.

Cost-effective purification methods of silicon were carried out in order to replace the conventional Siemens method for solar grade silicon. Firstly, acid leaching which is a hydrometallurgical process was preceded with grinded silicon powders of metallurgical grade (~99% purity) to remove metallic impurities. Then, plasma treatments were performed with the leached silicon powders of 99.94% purity by argon plasma at 30 kW power under atmospheric pressure. Plasma treatment was specifically efficient for removing Zr, Y, and P but not for Al and B. Another purification step by EB treatment was also studied for the 99.92% silicon lump which resulted in the fast removal of boron and aluminum. That means the two methods are effective alternative tools for removing the doping elements like boron and phosphor.
