Perfluorocompounds (PFCs) gases were decomposed by gliding arc plasma generated by AC pulse power. $N_2$ gas of 10 LPM flow rate and $H_2$ gas of 0.5 LPM were introduced into the gliding arc plasma generated between a pair of electrodes with SUS 303 material, and the PFCs gases were injected in the plasma and thereby were decomposed. The PFCs gas-decomposition-characteristics through the gliding arc plasma were analyzed by FT-IR, where pure $N_2$ and $H_2$-added $N_2$ environment were used to generate the gliding arc plasma. The PFCs gas-decomposition-properties were changed by electric power for gliding arc plasma generation and the H2 gas addition was effective to enhance the PFCs decomposition rate.

The most important question is how to use which kind of switch in pulsed power generation. There are many kinds of commercial closing switches, which have advantages and disadvantages. The most popular closing switch is the spark gap, but it has a disadvantage in life time, because of erosion of electrodes by arc heating. The Rotary Arc Gap (RAG) switch, especially Walkie-Edgar type RAG switch, was proposed to solve such problems in spark gap. It has a simple and special structure for arc moving caused from self-induced electromagnetic force, because moving arc makes less erosion on the electrodes. In this study we have made an Walkie-Edgar type RAG switch, tested the switching with capacitive energy storage system, and measured rotating arc speed in different peak current.

In this study, the effects of the current pulsing conditions, on the spatter generation rate during the $CO_2$ gas metal arc welding (GMAW) were investigated. Normally using the inverter type power supply, of which the welding current waveform was regulated to reduce the spatter generation rate, but in this study pulsing was imposed on the welding current. Observation of the metal transfer phenomena during the pulsed current GMAS indicated that the droplet transfer from the electrode via the short circuit transfer and the repelling transfer mode could be minimized by selecting optimum combinations of pulsing parameters, which include base and peak current, base and pak duration. It was also demonstrated in this study that proper combinations of the pulsing parameters led to reduce generation of spatters during GMAW shielded by $CO_2$ gas.

We make DEM of the area that elevation value varies rapidly by the aid. This study evaluates the accuracy and workability between the existing DEM making mathod by processing break line and the DEM absorption method by using the program like ARC TIN or AML. The object data of DEM generation is 1/5,000 digital map publicated by NGII and this study uses 100pieces of map as the criteria. We correct the error by Geoconv and generate DEM by using ARC TIN, ARC VIEW. Accuracy Evaluation accomplished by drawing 100 points from 1/5000 digital map.

The metal transfer of CO2 arc welding machine can be devided into short-circuit(low current) metal transfer. Especially in large crrent region, the main problem of CO2 arc welding machine is much spatter generation which is caused by mainly instant short-circuit matal transfer. So in this paper descrives new current control method in large current region, which can improve welding performance and lessen spatter generation. And as a result of experiment, the effect of proposed control method is demonstrated.

The cases of welders illness by welding fume generated during arc welding are recently reported, which makes the legal regulation in the welding work place. Also, this situation makes the employers and welders be concerned about the welding fume seriously. At this point of time it is necessary that a standard testing method is developed as a fundamental tool for the evaluation of Fume Generation Rate(FGR) required for making progress in the development of low fume electrodes and welding process technology and also constructing the ventilation system in welding area. However, the current standard(KS D 0062) is only applicable to the manual covered electrode arc welding. In this study the evaluation procedure for the FGR is established by developing the fume collection chamber which can be applicable to semiautomatic and automatic arc welding as well as manual arc welding. This evaluation system and procedure can be used as a tool not only to develop the low fume welding electrode and welding process technology but also to construct the equipment controlling the welding workshop atmosphere.

This paper present the characteristics of the internal induced voltage and arc phenomena in liquid helium at the energy transfer from a superconducting magnet to a load resistor. Especially generation mechanism of the oscillated wave from of the coil terminal voltage is analyzed by considering circuit constant of the superconducting magnet, load condition and arc resistance of the mechanical opening switch. The wavefront and peak portion of the voltage are strongly influenced by arc discharge triggered by the switch separation in liquid helium. Abrupt arc extinction leads to voltage oscillation with an enormous peak. It is suggested that the superconducting magnet should be designed to ensure the internal surge when arc is possibly formed by switch opening or coil short circuit between turns or layers. Finally, a suppression method of the oscillating surge is proposed based on the load condition.

The effect of arc like streamer discharge is investigated on the hydrogen generation in the plasma reactor with multineedle - plate electrode geometry and SDR (Plasma reactor using the surface discharge). An additive of the two type (the saw type and the pellet type) was placed under the water surface to investigate the effect of the water surface conditions. The experimental results are compared in case of the reactor with and without an additive on the water surface. The generation of arc streamer discharge is more powerful with increasing applied voltage in the saw type. The maximum hydrogen Production concentration is about 4300 ppm at 74W in the SDR with additive of the saw type. Also, the Energy yield of the SDR (28990 g/kWh, 4300ppm, 74W) is higher than of the multineedle - plate electrode geometry (20892g/kWh, 3300ppm, 77W).

The use of flux cored arc welding(FCAW) process has grown dramatically since it has been developed because of the remarkable operating characteristics and the resulting weld properties. The feature that distinguishes the FCAW process from other arc welding processes is the enclosure of fluxing ingredients within a continuously fed tubular electrode. The benefits of FCAW process are the increased productivity due to continuous wire feeding, the metallurgical effects derived from the reactions with flux, and the shapes of weld bead formed by slag. However, FCAW process causes the problem in working environment because it generates much more fume than other welding processes. Recently, the welding fume became a hot issue in the field after some welders were diagnosed as manganese toxcosis and siderosis. This study was started to investigate the characteristics of welding fume and utilize the results from the investigation to protect the welders from welding fume. As a first step, the effect of welding conditions on the fume generation rate(FGR) were investigated during FCAW process with $CO_2$ shielding. The considered welding conditions were welding current, arc voltage, travel speed, contact tube to work distance, and torch angle. The results showed that FGR was affected by all of these factors.

This work demonstrates arc generation and anodic film formation behaviors on Al1050 alloy during PEO (plasma electrolytic oxidation) treatment under a constant direct current in an alkaline electrolyte containing silicate, carbonate and borate ions. Only one big arc more than 2 mm diameter was generated first at the edges and it was moving on the fresh surface or staying occasionally at the edges, resulting in the local burning due to generation of an extremely big orange colored arc at the edges. Central region of the flat surface was not fully covered with PEO films even after sufficiently long treatment time because of the local burning problem. The anodic oxides formed on the flat surface by arcing once were found to consist of a number of small oxide nodules with spherical shape of $3{\sim}6{\mu}m$ size and irregular shapes of about $5{\sim}10{\mu}m$ width and $10{\sim}20{\mu}m$ length. The anodic oxide nodules showed uniform thickness of about $3{\mu}m$ and rounded edges. These experimental results suggest that one big arc observed on the specimen surface under the application of a constant direct current is composed of a number of small micro-arcs less than $20{\mu}m$ size.
