In this study, the specimens of SCM 22 H steel were quenched in oil and water baths at various agitation conditions in order to investigate the effects of quenchants and agitation conditions on the quench-hardening. A multi-channel temperature measurement apparatus was employed to obtain the cooling curves at several predetermined positions of specimens. Microstructural observation and hardness test were also carried out. Computer simulation of heat treating process was carried out using the modified finite difference method. Prediction of thermal history and hardness distribution by 2-dimensional computer analysis was in good agreement with the experimental results. It was found that the quantitative design of heat treating process can be made by the computer aided heat-treating analysis.

Superconducting windings of synchronous machine have to be operated in below the critical temperature, critical current density and critical magnetic field. If one of these characteristics does not satisfied, then the quench occurred in superconducting winding. Especially the armature current dramatically increased as the superconducting generator is short-circuited at the rated load condition and magnetic field in field winding increased due to the armature current. Therefore, damper is required to reduce the magnetic field of field winding which increases reliability of the superconducting generator. Damper dimension can be decided by time constant[1-2]. In this paper the basic model is high-power and low-speed superconducting generator. Damper time constant was calculated from the changed damper thickness and material. Magnetic flux of field coil at the basic model and changed damper time constant model is analyzed.

We present the basic properties of a superconducting current limiting fuse (SCLF) based on YBCO/Au films. The SCLFs consists of YBCO stripes covered with Au layers for current shunt. Under the source voltage of 100 $V_{rms}$, the longer the duration time of fault current was, the shorter its discharge time was. The duration time of fault current and its discharge time were reduced by increased voltages in the range of 200 - 300 $V_{rms}$. We thought that this was because the quench propagation was limited by local melting generated with higher voltage.

We tried to combine a transformer with a superconducting element and investigated the current limiting characteristics. When a superconducting element was connected to third winding of the transformer, the fault current was limited to about 90 % effectively. The fault current and consumption power were able to be controlled by the turn's ratio of secondary and third windings. It gives flexibility of the rating of a transformer in the power grid. As a result, power burden of a superconducting element was reduced by the decrease of turn's ratio in third winding of a transformer. It was because the voltage behavior of a superconducting element was dependent on turn's ratio of a transformer while the current characteristic was independent.

The laboratory quench method used in this study is based on plunging a silver cylinder heated to 800.deg. C in to mineral oil and vegetable at given temperature. Experimental apparatus and measuring method followed Korean Industrial Standard. Colling curves at the boundary of the cylinder measured by a silver-alumel thermocouple is recorded throughout the quenching period. Using the cooling curves, the coolingability of the quenching oils at various temperatures were compared and discussed.

We present the basic properties of a superconductive fuse (SF) based on YBCO/Au films. The SF consists of YBCO stripes covered with Au layers for current shunt. The fault current was limited to a designed value in less than 0.4 msec by resistance development in YBCO/Au upon quenching. This enabled the SF to transfer small fault power and the suppressed current was sustained for more than 0.5 msec while Au layer melting and arcing. The arcing time was less than 2.5 msec, that is short enough to do self-interruption. Under the source voltage of 100 $V_{rms}$, the longer the duration time of fault current was, the shorter its discharge time was. The duration time of fault current and its discharge time were reduced by increased voltages in the range of 200 - 300 $V_{rms}$. We thought that this was because the quench propagation was limited by local melting generated with higher voltage.age.

Although the researches and developments are performed for superconducting technologies, many problems such as AC loss and quench phenomenon still remain to design the superconducting transformer. In addition, pre-study on the three phase high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer is a sort of time and expense consuming work, thus it is very worthy of being analyzing the characteristics of HTS transformer in advance through proper simulation programs and skills. This paper presents an effective simulation method for the three phase HTS transformer using components developed in the PSCAD/EMTDC.

In this study, we estimate the thermal conductivity of stainless steel reinforced Bi-2223/Ag tape which was made from American Superconductor. The equipments for thermal conductivity measurement was set up using conduction cooled cryocooler. Two direction of thermal conductivity was measured. The one is the direction of cut length, and the other is direction of transverse of wounded coil with insulation material. It was observed that the thermal conductivity of transverse direction of coil was extremely lower than that of cut length direction. It was mainly seems that superconducting filaments and insulation material were effected on thermal conductivity in thermal conductivity of transverse direction.

Carburizing of a 12%Cr steel containing 0.6%Si was performed at 950$^{\circ}C$ for various times, and the microstructure, hardness and the water characteristics of the carburized chromium steel were examined. The results obtained in this study are as follows: 1. Carbide-dispersed layer (CD layer) with fine dispersion of $Cr_7C_3$ in martensite matrix was formed by carburizing. The radius and amount of the carbides in the surface region of CD layer were about 0.3${\mu}m$ and 35% by volume, respectively. 2. Chromium steel carburized and quench-tempered showed better wear resistance and hardness than ordinary high chromium tool steel. It is concluded from these results that fine dispered carbides are very effective in improving wear resistance and hardness.
