The plasma spray technics has known as one of the surface modification methods to improve the mechenical properties or the functional charactristics of materials. This paper has been aimed to investigate the effects of plasma sprayed conditions, such as spray distance and arc power level, on sliding wear properties of plasma sprayed $Al_2$O$_3$-40%TiO$_2$coating layer. The sliding wear test using pin-on-disc type wear machine, has been conducted in several sliding speed for coating layer sparyed under different conditions. The result of this paper is that the wear resistance of plasma sprayed $Al_2$O$_3$-40%TiO$_2$coating layer is fluctuated with tile spray distance and the arc power level. The wear resiatance could be improved with decreasing the spray distance and with increasing the arc power level.

A bioequivalence study of ranitidine tablets was conducted according to the Korean Guidine for the Bioequivalence Test using twelve healthy male subjects. The plasma concentration-timecurves of ranitidine from the test and reference tablets showed profound multiple peak phenomenon in each subject as reported earlier. However, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum ploasma concentration at the first peak ($C_{max1}$) of the two preparations was proven to be equal when analyzed satistically according to the criteria of the guidline;i. e., statistical power (1-$\beta$)was calculated to be over 0.8 under the condition of $\alpha$ = 5% and $\Delta$(minimum detectable difference) = 20%, and the confidence interval of the difference in AUC at 95% confidence level was in the range of $\pm$ 20%, which statisfied the criteria of bioequivalence. Equivalence of the peak concentration of ranitidine at the second peak ($C_{max2}$), and the time to reach the first ($T_{max1}$) and second verify the bioequivalence of $c_{max2}$ , $T_{max1}$ and $T_{max2}$ between the two tablets. However, we conclude that the test and reference tablets are bioequivalent taking the therapeutic characteristics of the ranitidine preparations into consideration.

The test facility with hot-air supply system is required to develop transpiration cooling materials and experimentally evaluate its performance. In the study, the facility consists of an arc-plasma generator, plenum chamber suppling cold air, and test section was designed and an internal flow analysis was executed. From CFD results, it was confirmed that the designed plenum chamber thermally safeties and ideally mixes with plasma gas and cold air in the chamber. In addition, validity of design for supplying homogeneous flow to the test section was confirmed by this analysis.

The influence of surface preparation methods after plasma cutting on the quality of welding zone is investigated. For comparison. three types of welded specimens are prepared by machining(YM), plasma cutting with light regrinding(WPG) and without regrinding(WP), by using three kinds of materials, carbon steel(S45C), stainless steel(Type304) and aluminum alloy (6061-T6). Nondestructive examination, hardness test, microstructure examination, and fracture toughness test are performed. The results show that there is no appreciable reduction in hardness or fracture toughness in WP specimens. But a little difference in heat affected gone size is observed.

The contact resistivity of the black interlayer which has been introduced between BUS and ITO electrodes in a plasma display panel was evaluated using two kinds of specially designed test electrode patterns. Of the two, type 2 pattern was able to evaluate the contact resistivity more successfully, which was calculated as about $250{\Omega}$ in the suggested test pattern structure.

In general, the characteristics of plasma spray coating are strongly dependent on process conditions. In this paper, Mo and Co alloy coating layers were made by plasma spraying with different spray parameters and characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), hardnass test, and wear test. It was found that the coating characteristics were mainly affected by phase composition of the powder, spray distance, arc current, and gas flow rate.

In this study, the effects of dilution on the wear behavior of PTAW (Plasma Transferred Arc Welding) Inconel 625, Inconel 718 and Stellite 6 overlays on Nimonic 80A were investigated. Inorder to evaluate the wear performance, two-body and three-body abrasive wear test, and dry sliding wear test were performed. According to wear tests, the wear rate of deposit with dilution 30% was higher than that of dilution 10% by 10%, and it was also found the plastic deformation near worn surface.

Tungsten coatings on the graphite (CX-2320) were successfully deposited using the vacuum plasma spraying (VPS) method. An optimum coating procedure was developed and coating thicknesses of $409{\mu}m$ (without an interlayer) and $378{\mu}m$ (with an interlayer) were obtained with no cracks and no signs of delamination. The mechanical characteristics and microstructure of the tungsten coating layers were investigated using a Vickers hardness tester, FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD. The effect of a titanium interlayer on the properties of the tungsten coating was investigated. It was shown that the titanium interlayer prevented the diffusion of carbon to the tungsten layer, thereby suppressing the formation of tungsten carbide. Vickers hardness data yielded values that were 62.5 ~ 80.46% of those for bulk tungsten, indicating that tungsten coatings on graphite can be utilized as a plasma-facing material. High heat flux tests were performed by using thermal plasma with a maximum flux of $10MW/^2$. Vickers hardness after the heat flux test is performed to see a change in the mechanical properties. The formationof a tungsten carbide and the effect of the titanium interlayer for the diffusion barrier are investigated by using energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS).

In this study, effect of sputtering after plasma nitriding and before PVD coating on the microstucture, microhardness, surface roughness and the adhesion strength of CrN thin films were investigated. Experimental results showed that this sputtering process not only removed surface compound layer which formed during a plasma nitriding process but also induced an alteration of the surface of plasma nitrided substrate in terms of microhardness distribution and surface roughness, which in turn affected the adhesion strength of PVD coatings. After sputtering, microhardness distribution showed general decrease and the surface roughness became increased slightly. The critical shear stress measured from the scratch test on the CrN coatings showed an approximately twice increase in the binding strength through the sputtering prior to the coating and this could be attributed to a complete removal of compound layer from the plasma nitrided surface and to an increase in the surface roughness after sputtering.

Ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating system is an important auxiliary heating method in the experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). In EAST, several megawatts of power are transmitted with coaxial transmission lines and coupled to the plasma. For the long pulse and high power operation of the ICRF waves heating system, it is very important to effectively control the power and initial phase of the ICRF signals. In this paper, a power and phase feedback control system is described based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, which can realize complicated algorithms with the advantages of fast running and high reliability. The transmitted power and antenna phase are measured by a power and phase detector and digitized. The power and phase feedback control algorithms is designed to achieve the target power and antenna phase. The power feedback control system was tested on a dummy load and during plasma experiments. Test results confirm that the feedback control system can precisely control ICRF power and antenna phase and is robust during plasma variations.
