In this study, the fatigue lives of two kinds of specimens made by co/sab 2/ gas were assessed. The materials for two kinds of specimens were taken out of the virgin carbon steel tubes and used carbon steel tubes, respectively. As a result, it was found that the fatigue lives of two groups of specimens were in the same order of magnitude.

DLC(Diamond like Carbon)는 Diamond와 유사한 물리화학적 특성을 보유한 막으로 고경도 및 우수한 내마모성, 화학적 안정성의 특성을 가지고 있다. DLC는 크게 카본의 막 형성 공정에서 카본 소스에 따라 수소가 포함된 DLC와 무수소DLC로 구분된다. Tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) 박막은 DLC 박막 중에서 가장 다이아몬드와 유사한 특성을 가지는 박막으로, a:C-H에 비해 높은 열적안정성, 경도(50~60 GPa) 및 내마모 특성이 우수하여, 현재 다양한 응용분야에 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무수소 DLC 형성을 위해 자장필터가 장착된 Filtered Vacuum Arc Source(FVAS)를 자체적으로 개발하여 연구를 진행하였다. FVAS 장비는 카본 이온 발생부와 Plasma Duct 부위, 전자석부위 구성되어 있으며, 본 연구에서는 Plasma Duct 부위의 Bias 제어를 통해 음극에서 기판으로 이동하는 카본이온의 에너지와 flux 변화를 통한 박막 증착 거동 및 물성 연구를 진행하였다. Plasma Duct Bias 변화는 각 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 V 조건으로 진행하였으며, 물성 평가는 경도(Hardness), 마찰계수, 응력(Stress), 전기전도 특성에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 박막의 증착 거동에서는 Plasma Duct bias 변화에 따라10 V에서 가장 높은 증착 거동을 가지다 감소하는 경향을 확인 하였으며, 박막의 물성 특성 평가 시에도 이와 유사하게 특성의 차이를 관찰하였다. 이는 음극부위에서 형성된 카본이온이 기판에 도달 시에 Plasma Duct Bias 변화에 따라 이온의 Flux 및 에너지 변화로 인해 박막의 밀도 및 ta-C 막의 물성 변화로 예상되며, 이를 분석하기 위해 라만분석 및 기판 도달 에너지 분석을 진행하였다

Electricity is generated by the combined reactions of hydrogen oxidation and oxygen reduction which occur on the Pt/C catalyst surface. There have been lots of researches to make high performance catalysts which can reduce Pt utilization. However, most of catalysts are synthesized by wet-processes and a significant amount of chemicals are emitted during Pt/C synthesis. In this study, Pt/C catalyst was produced by arc plasma deposition process in which Pt nano-particles are directly deposited on carbon black surfaces. During the process, islands of Pt nano-particles were produced and they were very fine and well-distributed on carbon black surface. Compared with a commercialized Pt/C catalyst (Johnson & Matthey), finer particle size, narrower size distribution, and uniform distribution of APD Pt/C resulted in higher electrochemical active surface area even at the less Pt content.

The hybrid method of three-dimensional ion implantation and electric arc is presented as a novel plasma-ion technique that allows by means of high voltage pulsed and electric arc discharges, the bombardment of non-metallic and metallic ions then implanting upon the surface of a solid surface, especially out of metallic nature. In this study AISI/SAE 4140 samples, a tool type steel broadly used in the industry due to its acceptable physicochemical properties, were metallographically prepared then surface modified by implanting titanium and simultaneously titanium and nitrogen particles during 5 min and 10 min. The effect of the ion implantation technique over the substrate surface was analysed by characterization and electrochemical techniques. From the results, the formation of Ti micro-droplets upon the surface after the implantation treatment were observed by micrographs obtained by scanning electron microscopy. The presence of doping particles on the implanted substrates were detected by elemental analysis. The linear polarization resistance, potentiodynamic polarization and total porosity analysis demonstrated that the samples whose implantation treatment with Ti ions for 10 min, offer a better protection against the corrosion compared with non-implanted substrates and implanted at the different conditions in this study.

EAF dust generated from electric arc steelmaking process is classified as "hazardous" materials by tbe environmental regulation because of the existence of water leachable heavy metals such as Fe, Zn, Pb, and Cd. However, Fe and Zn among t the elements in the dust can be recovered to high valuable materials by applying a proper process. Therefore, in order to study t the possibility of recovery of iron from EAF dust, the effect oE carbon content and basicity, of synthesized EAF dust on the reduction rate of iron oxide was studied. Experimental results are as follows: TIle softening and melting temperature of the slag w was illcreased with increasing carbon addition amount [or carbon reduction eqUIvalent. At the carbon addition amount of 100% for carbon reduction equivalent and basicity of 1.7, reduction rate of $Fe_2O$ in the slag was the highest. The reaction order fur reduction of $Fe_2O$ by carbon was nearly first order.

The synthesis of $C_{60}$@MWCNT was carried out at room temperature (${\sim}25^{\circ}C$) from arc-discharge prepared Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). They were oxidized and acid treated for tube opening. Then $C_{60}$ molecules were encapsulated into MWCNTs by wetting them with $C_{60}$-toluene solution for several minutes followed by ultrasonification. $C_{60}$@MWCNT was cleaned by pure toluene to remove any excess $C_{60}$. $C_{60}$@MWCNT was characterized by electron microscopy, which showed large scale filling of $C_{60}$ into MWCNTs. It was observed that the mechanism of insertion of $C_{60}$ into MWCNTs may be due to the capillary suction at the opening ends of MWCNTs.

We fabricated the conventional silicon tips coated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. The DLC films are prepared by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique. With increasing nitrogen content in DLC film, the work function($\phi$) and the turn-on voltage decrease and the emission current increases. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the Fermi-level moves to the conduction band by increasing nitrogen doping concentration. We have tested on the stability of the DLC film coated silicon tip during 2 hours at 500V.

A carbon fiber(CF) reinforced Cu-10%Sn alloy matrix composite was successfully fabricated by squeeze casting method employing preheated graphite mold and proper process controlling factors. The matrix solidification microstructure of the Cu-10%Sn/CF composite reveals ${\alpha}-dendrite$ and ${\alpha}+{\delta}$ eutectoid. To compare the squeeze cast Cu-10%Sn/CF compostie with PM route fabricated Cu-graphite composites for electric contact material, mechanical wear and electrical arc wear tests were performed. Mechanical wear rate of the Cu-10%Sn/CF is much lower than that of the Cu-graphite composite. Weight loss with a variation of contact number in electrical arc wear tests shows a similar trend between the squeeze cast Cu-10%Sn/CF and PM Cu-graphite composites.

The effects of antioxidant and carbon black on weatherability of crosslinked polythylene(XLPE) for electrical insulation were investigated. 16 compositions were prepared in other to determine the weathering resistance. Samples were exposed in xenon-arc lamp Weather-Ometer for 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 hours respectively. Tensile strength, elongation at break, dielectric strength and tan ${\delta}$ were measured to evaluate the weatherability of XLPE. The results indicated that the effect of carbon black was more prominent than antioxidant and synergistic effect, was observed when two additives were mixed.

The ion sources for induction linac driven heavy ion fusion were fabricated and their omittance characteristics were investigated. For to kinds of ion sources, i. e. a carbon vacuum arc ion source and a cusp field rf ion source, the emittance was measured with a double slit beam scanner. The required normalized omittance of an ion source for heavy ion fusion is 10$^{-7}$ - 5$\times$10$^{-7}$ $\pi$ m-rod, and the measured emittances of the ion beams from carbon vacuum arc ion source and cusp field rf ion source (Ne$^{+}$) were 2$\times$10$^{-6}$ $\pi$ m-rad and 4$\times$10$^{-7}$ $\pi$ m-rad, respectively.y.
