Plasma 용사된 단열피복에 내재하는 기공의 크기, 형상 및 분포는 피복층 자체의 물성에 지대한 영향을 미치므로 이를 용사변수에 따라 조사하였다. MgO 안정화 지르코니아 피복시 도입되는 기공은 미세기공 외에 각각 생성기구가 다른 조대한 기공 즉 구형과 불규칙한 기공, 그리고 crack으로 구성되었다. 용사거리에 따라 기공의 생성과정과 특성이 변하였으며 Plasma 전류 및 가스 유량의 증가에 의해서 기공도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Plasma 가스가 $N_2$인 경우가 Ar보다 더 높은기공도를 보였고 전체적으로 단열피복의 기공도는 10~18%였다. Scratch test로 측정된 단열피복층의 상대적인 경도는 기공도와 높은 상관관계를 보였다.

본 연구에서는 과수의 형태, 거리에 따라 약대가 항상 적정 살포 거리를 유지하며 작업을 진행할 수 있도록 초음파 센서의 신호를 실시간으로 받아 약대를 제어하였고, 또한 약대의 보호를 위하여 진행 방향에 장애물이 존재할 경우 회피할 수 있도록 프로그래밍 하였다. 제작된 시스템으로 현장에서 비 자동제어 상태와 자동제어 상태로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 과수의 기둥과 잎 부위에 감수지를 일정간격으로 설치하고 시스템을 이용하여 분사한 후 감수지의 영상을 스캔하여 영상처리를 통해 분석하는 방법으로 이루어졌다. 상 방향 분사 실험에서는 시스템과 대상의 거리가 0.9m~1.1m로 설정해둔 적정거리를 벗어나지 않았기 때문에 비 자동제어와 자동제어 상태 모두 양호한 결과를 보였다. 하지만 측 방향 분사 실험에서는 비 자동제어 시 우측 열은 98.09%의 분사율을 보였으나 좌측 열은 69.25%로 낮게 나타났다. 이는 실험이 수행된 배 과원의 경우 과수의 좌측 열이 수평하게 식재되어 있지 않았기 때문으로 비자동제어 상태에서는 좌측열의 과수에 분사되는 양이 줄어들었으나 자동제어 상태에서는 좌, 우측열의 과수에 분사되는 양이 각각 92.66%, 94.64%로 균일하게 나타났다. 시스템의 제어 속도를 측정하기 위하여 방향 별 약대의 속도를 측정하였고 각각의 속도는 수직방향 100mm/s, 수평 방향 100mm/s, 각 변화 3o/s로 측정되었다. 초기 목적했던 바와 같이 과수의 형태, 거리에 따라 약대가 적정 거리를 유지하며 작업을 진행함으로 인해서 균일한 살포량을 유지 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: A water-spraying type automatic glochids removal system for cactus (Opuntia humifusa) stem was developed, and its performance was evaluated. The system was developed to reduce intensive human labor in removing glochids from cactus stem skin without inducing damage prior to further processing into value-added products. Methods: The developed system consists of conveyor and water-spraying systems. The conveyor system delivers cactus stems through water-spraying compartments and finally to a collecting box. In order to remove the glochids, rotating nozzles spray water over all areas (i.e., front and back faces and sides) of the cactus skin under controlled water pressure. Operating conditions such as conveyor speed, water pressure, angle of water-spraying nozzles, distance between conveyor belt and rotating nozzles, and angle of cactus flipping slide were adopted from our previous study and applied on the system design and manufacturing. The performance of glochids removal was evaluated by counting the number of glochids on the cactus stem before and after processing on the system. Results: The developed system performed efficiently and effectively under the pre-studied operating conditions except for the angle of cactus flipping slide. The new system had a glochids removal ratio of 94.1% without damaging the cactus skin. Considering the original number (approximately 30-60) of glochids, the remaining number was low (1-4), and most of them were found at the side edge of the cactus stem. This system can remove glochids from 360 cactus stems in 1 hr regardless of cactus size. Conclusions: The performance of the new system in glochids removal without damaging cactus skin is superior to any other existing device (i.e., brush type, rubber-friction type, and agitation type). The system is expected to be applied in cactus (O. humifusa) processing facilities.

This study was conducted by L9 orthogonal array to obtain optimum spray parameters for This study was conducted by L9 orthogonal array to obtain optimum spray parameters for $Cr_3C_2 - 7wt%$(80wt%Ni-20wt%Cr) coating powder. The factors were hydrogen flow rate, oxygen flow rate, gun-to-work distance, powder feed rate. And evaluation methods for the coating were surface roughness, oxygen concentration, micro-hardness, pore size and distribution, low angle ($30^{\circ}$) erosion rate, and microstructure of coating. The optimum HVOF spray conditions were proved as follows : hydroen flow rate ; 681 SLPM, oxygen flow rate ; 215 SLPM $H^2/O^2 ratio= 3.16), gun-to-work distance ; 22cm, powder feed rate; 25g/min. The hardness (Hv300) was 1147 and the erosion rate ($30^{\circ}$degree) was $3.16\times10^{-4}$g/g. It is believed that the optimized spray conditions can be improved the wear-resistance and anti-erosion characteristics of the coating.

To investigate the feasibility of a boom sprayer in the paddy field, an experimental boom sprayer for both broadcast and directed spraying to the lower part of rice plants was developed. The droplet deposition characteristics of the boom sprayers were experimentally compared to those of power sprayer. Water sensitive papers(WSP) and a machine vision system were used to evaluate the coverage rate and droplet density. It was shown that the broadcast application by the boom sprayer was the best coverage among the tested sprayers. Coverage tate and droplet density were affected by the distance between nozzles and the sprayer ground speed, The best result was obtained when the distance of 30cm and the speed of 1.7km/hr. The directed application showed inconsistency in overall droplet distribution. The inconsistency was judged to be caused by conflict between plants and boom extenders. The power sprayer showed a very wide range of droplet size distribution, relatively larger droplets and inconsistency in cove The power sprayer was judged to be inadequate for the low-volume precision application because of inconsistency in performance and difficulty in adjusting the spraying rate. Based on the droplet coverage characteristics, it was concluded that the self-propelled boom sprayer for the broadcast application was feasible for an alternative to the power sprayer in case of low volume, precision application in paddy condition.

Nano-TiO$_2$ photocatalytic coatings were deposited on the stainless steel 304(50$\times$70$\times$3mm) by the APS(Atmospheric Plasma Spraying). Photocatlytic reaction was tested in MB(methylene blue) aqueous solution. For applying nano-TiO$_2$ powders by thermal spray, the starting nano-TiO$_2$ powder with 100% anatase crystalline was agglomerated by spray drying. Plasma second gas(H$_2$) flow rate and spraying distance were used as principal process parameters which are known to control heat enthalpy(heat input). The relationship between process parameters and the characteristics of microstructure such as the anatase phase fraction and grain size of the TiO$_2$ coatings were investigated. The photo-decomposition efficiency of TiO$_2$ coatings was evaluated by the kinetics of MB aqueous solution decomposition. It was found that the TiO$_2$ coating with a lower heat input condition had a higher anatase fraction, smaller anatase grain size and a better photo-decomposition efficiency.

Carbon-based coatings, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and buckyball ($C_{60}$), receive much interest because of their outstanding mechanical and electrical properties for a wide range of electromechanical component-based applications. Previous experimental results demonstrate that these carbon-based coatings are promising solid lubricants because of their superior tribological properties, and thus help prolong the lifetime of silicon-based applications. In this study, CNT coatings are deposited on a bare silicon (100) substrate by electrodynamic spraying under different deposition conditions. During the coating deposition, the applied voltage, CNT concentration of the solution, distance between the injecting nozzle and the substrate and diameter of the injecting nozzle are optimized to control the thickness and surface roughness of the CNT coatings. The surface morphology and thickness of the coatings are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The friction and wear properties of the coatings are investigated by using a pin-on-reciprocating-type tribotester under various experimental conditions. The friction coefficient of the CNT coating is as low as 0.15 under high normal loads. The overall results reveal that CNT coatings deposited by electrodynamic spraying provide relatively uniform with superior lubrication performance.

The effect of coating thickness on the contact fatigue and wear of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are investigated in this study. The same bondcoat material thickness (250 ㎛) are used for each sample, which allows the effect of the coating thickness of the topcoat to be investigated. TBCs with different coating thicknesses (200, 400, and 600 ㎛) are prepared by changing processing parameters such as the feeding rate of the feedstock, spraying speed, and spraying distance during APS(air plasma spray) coating. The damage size on the surface are strongly affected by the coating thickness effect. Although the damage size from contact fatigue using a spherical indenter diminish at a TBC of 200 ㎛, a high wear resistance such as a low friction coefficient and little mass change are found at a TBC of 600 ㎛. These results indicate that the coating thickness strongly affects the mechanical behavior in TBCs during gas turbine operation.

TiO$_2$-WO$_3$(8.2wt%) coatings were prepared by the APS (Atmospheric Plasma Spraying) process to clarify the relationship between the process parameters(H$_2$ gas flow rate of plasma 2nd gas and spraying distance) of the APS coating and photo-decomposition efficiency kinetics of the MB(methylene blue) aqueous solution decomposition and to understand the effect of addition of WO$_3$ on photocatalytic properties of TiO$_2$ sprayed coating. Further, the temperature and velocity of flying particles were measured by DPV-2000 to investigate the relationship between microstructure of coatings and process parameters. Properties of coatins were investigated by XRD, SEM, XPS, RAMAN, UV/VIS spectrometer. In case of the TiO$_2$-WO$_3$(8.2wt%) coating, it had a lower anatase fraction than that of pure-TiO$_2$ coatings because of flying in the higher temperature plasma plume by the heavy weight of TiO$_2$, WO$_3$. And, when WO$_3$ added powders were spayed, the doping effects of W ions substituted into the Ti ion sites was not occured during melting and solidification cycles of spraying. It was found that the addition of WO$_3$ was ineffective effective on increasing photo-decomposition efficiency of TiO$_2$ sprayed coating.

방제기 분야에서 전통과 기술력이 인정받고 있는 일본 마루야마사에서 개발한 원거리 고속팬과 비교실험을 하였다. 비교 실험 결과 일본 마루야마사에서 개발한 원거리 팬은 120m 살포를 한 반면 자체 개발한 원거리 방제기 고속팬은 160m 까지 살포가 가능하였다. 지금까지 원거리 방제기는 일본에서 개발된 제품을 수입하여 국내에 보급하였으나 앞으로는 성능, 가격 및 A/S 측면에서 유리한 국산 원거리 방제기가 시장을 점유할 것으로 판단된다. 주요 연구 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 실험은 시중에서 판매되고 있는 플라스틱컵을 사용하였다. 컵의 배치는 10m 간격으로 종방향 5개, 횡방향 18개 총 90개를 설치한 후 원거리 고속 방제기가 이동하면서 분사한 양을 보고 분포도를 작성하였다. 분무지점에서 분무방향과 수직을 이루는 거리를 5m 간격으로 고정하고, 분무량과 수평을 이루는 지점에 따른 분무량 및 관찰자 4명의 데이터를 이용하여 평균을 구했다. 방제기가 출발하면서 살포한 경우 0m의 경우와 방제기가 정지하면서 살포를 중지한 20m의 경우 살포가 잘 되지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 방제기가 출발하면서 살포한 경우 10m에서 높은 살포량을 나타냈다. 방제기가 15m 이동했을 때 20m 구간에서 가장 높은 살포를 보였다. 실험결과 방제기가 출발하면서 방제한 경우와 방제기가 포착하면서 방제를 정지한 경우를 제외하고 전 구간에서 일본 마루야마사의 방제기 보다 높은 살포량을 보였다.
