In order to make clear the physical relation among the arc plasma, the anode heat transfer and the weld penetration, the results of experimental measurements of temperatures of arc plasma, the distributions of heat input and current on the anode and the weld penetration were presented The experimental results showed that the electron temperature above the anode and current and heat input density on the anode was dominated by the position of the cathode. Furthermore, it was showed that electron temperature of arc plasma was dominated by the cathode shape. These results were related with the results of the welded penetration measurements. As a result, it was showed that the electron temperature above the anode and current density distribution on the anode decided the heat input density distribution on the anode and that the heat input density on the anode remarkably dominated the size of the weld penetration in argon GTA welding process. Furthermore, it was suggested that the cathode played the important role in the determination of the weld penetration in argon GTA welding process.

The effects of triangular and rectangular discharge current waveforms on anode erosion in wire electric discharge machining is investigated based on heat transfer analysis of half-space subject to time and space-dependent heat flux. The thermal load on the anode is simulated by a hear flux that is calculated from time-dependent discharge channel radius and energy. Evolution of the melting front during discharge, the molten volume at the experimental result for qualitative verification of the analysis. It is demonstrated that the triangular current waveform is more efficient in eroding the anode than the rectangular one.

We investigated the thermal characteristics of rotating anode X-ray tube to develop it for digital radiography by using computer simulation. The target which is the area of the anode struck by electrons is the most important component to get a long life of X-ray tube. So we analyze the thermal characteristics of the target and rotor assembly according to their emissivity by using ANSYS transient thermal simulation and then compare with the measured data of the target temperature operating in aging process of X-ray tube. Especially, keeping the lead coated layer as the role of metal lubricant on ball bearing enables to prevent the noise in rotating anode. The simulation result showed that its temperature was under the melting point of the lead in X-ray tube for digital radiography with 1.2 mm large focal spot 0.6 mm small focal spot and 150 kV tube voltage. We also investigated the relationship between the diameter of the anode shaft and the temperature of the anode and rotor assembly. It has been confirmed that the smaller anode shaft could be good for the rotor thermal characteristics.

An axial electron beam gun system, which emits the electron beam power of 50 kW, has been manufactured. The electron beam gun consists of two parts. One is the electron beam generation part. including the filament, cathode, and anode. The maximum beam current is 2 A and the acceleration voltage is 25 kV. The other part includes the focusing-, deflection-, and scanning coils. The beam diameter and ham trajectory can be controlled by these coils. The characteristic of each part is measured ior the optimum condition of evaporation process. Moreover, Helmholtz coil is installed inside the vacuum chamber to adjust the incident angel of the beam to the melting surface for the maximum evaporation. We report on the evaporation rates for zirconium(Zr) and gadolinium(Gd) metals which have the high melting temperatures.

Presently, most of gold is smelted from gold concentrates and anode slimes. Anode slimes are by-products of nonferrous smelters such as lead and copper. In addition, gold is recovered from waste dental and medical materials, waste gold coating solution, and waste printed circuit boards (waste PCBs). The smelting method of gold from gold concentrates and various wastes containing high concentration of gold is largely divided into chlorination, cyanidation, and amalgamation methods. For the anode slimes, electrolysis method is usually used, which largely consists of roasting, high temperature melting and electrolysis processes. Also, various wastes containing low concentration of gold are mainly treated by pyrometallursical processes. In the paper, current status on gold smelting technology is reviewed, and a novel process for gold smelting which is researched in the recent is briefly introduced.

We deposited diamond-like carbon (DLC) films using ion beam sputtering of a graphite target on flat substrates for use as a thin film field emitter. An n-type silicon wafer, titanium-coated silicon, and indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass were used as a substrate. All films exhibited a sudden increase in the emission after a breakdown occurred at high voltage. The morphology of the films after the breakdown depended on the substrate. On ITO and Ti substrates, the DLC film peeled off upon breakdown, but on the Si substrate the surface melting due to breakdown resulted in the formation of various structures such as a sharp point, mound, and crater. By scanning the deformed surface with a tip anode, we found that the emission was concentrated at the deformed sites, indicating that the field enhancement due to the morphology change was responsible for the increased emission.

It is an object of the present paper to investigate a electrochemical properties of Mg-based sacrificial anodes and the effect of calcium added from calcium chloride into magnesium on the melt protection during the melting. Electrochemical data will be correlated with processing control variables, and the microstructural change by the addition of CaCl2. Small addition of calcium into magnesium from CaCl2 imparts beneficial effect in electrochemical properties of Mg alloys, primarily, through microstructural modifications. In addition, the protection effect of the melts surface of Ca with low melting point modification is obtained by adding Ca not more than 0.6%.

In the production of zirconium cladding tube, a pickling acid solution is used to remove surface contaminants, which generates tons of pickling acid waste. The waste pickling solution is a valuable resource of Hf-free Zr. Many studies have investigated separating the Hf-free Zr source from the waste pickling acid. The results showed that $Ba_2ZrF_8$ precipitates prepared from the waste pickling acid were useful as an electrolyte for the electrorefining of Zr in molten salt. In the present work, electrorefining was performed in a $Ba_2ZrF_8-LiF$ binary electrolyte to recover Zr from a Hf-free CuZr ingot anode prepared by electroreduction. Before electrorefining, two pretreatments are performed. First, electrolyte melting was carried out to determine the eutectic temperature, and second, the electrolyte was treated to eliminate impurities, mainly hydride. After electrorefining, the cathode deposits were analyzed by $O_2$ gas analyzer and SEM-EDX to explore the possibility of recovering nuclear-grade Zr metal. Moreover, the anode was analyzed by SEM-EDX to determine the Zr dissolution depth.

Recently, there are active research activities regarding to power systems of marine traffic facilities using a hybrid generation system which includes a photovoltaic generation system and a wave power generation system. However, when the marine traffic system is operated on a maritime environment for a substantial period of time, it was reported that the shellfish was adhered inside the water column. To tackle this problem, researches on the AFS (Anti-Fouling System) are on the progress. However, use of the single channel AFS resulted in frequent replacement of anode. Thus, the paper proposes a multi-channel method on AFS and experiments have been taken place correspondently. To improve the reliability of the experiment, the melting anode result was applied to our simulation program. The outcome of the simulation illustrates that the proposed multi-channel AFS's anode in the buoy have been ionized equally.
