In this study the (Alnico, Sm-Co) bonded magnets were fabricated by mixing the Sm-Co added alnico alloy powders with epoxy resin and binder, appropriately. Also, the hybrid ring magnets of (Alnico, Sm-Co)/Sr-ferrite were fabricated by coupling the Sr-ferrite composite layer with an (Alnico, Sm-Co) magnet. The magnetic properties of (Alnico, Sm-Co) ring magnets were varied with the amount of Sm-Co powders. The addition of Sm-Co powders increased a remanent induction($B_r$) and coercive force($_BH_C$), while decreasing a surface flux density and repulsive distance. The surface flux density and repulsive distance for the (Alnico, Sm-Co) ring magnet increased with a magnetizing voltage up to about 160 V and reached an apparent saturation point. Also, the measurements of temperature and moisture characteristics showed that the surface flux densities of N-S poles and repulsive distance decreased a little within 4% after 10 days passed.

The improved flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is composed of a series transformer and superconducting unit of the yttrium-barium-copper-oxide (YBCO) coated conductor. In this paper, we investigated current limiting characteristics through winding direction of coil 2 and variable number of coil 1 and coil 2 in improved flux-lock type SFCL. The better fault current characteristics and the burden of YBCO coated conductor can be confirmed from the experimental result in the higher turn ratio of coil 1 and coil 2 in the additive conditions. In case of subtractive condition, we can confirm a similar result in the same case of experimental conditions. but the burden of YBCO coated conductor has been increased from an increase in winding numbers of coil 2.

In this study, Microstructure and hardness of 1st layer with crystallographic orientation were investigated about solidification structure in multipass weld using high Mn-Ni flux cored wire. Microstructure of solidification consisted of austenite matrix and a little ${\varepsilon}-phase$ in grain boundaries. Orientation of grains was usually (001), (101), (111). According to crystallographic orientation, morphology of primary dendrite was different. The depletion of Fe and the segregation of Mn, C, Ni, Si, Cu, Cr, O were found along the grain boundaries. The area of segregation was wide with an order of (001), (101), (111) grains. And hardness of grains with crystallographic orientation increased with an order of (001), (101), (111) grains because of the segregation along dendrite boundary.

When the accident occurred in power distribution system, it needs to control efficiently the fault current according to the fault angle and location. The flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) can quickly limit when the short circuit accidents occurred and be made the resistance after the fault current. The flux-lock type SFCL has a single triggering element, detects and limits the fault current at the same time regardless of the size of the fault current. However, it has a disadvantage that broken the superconductor element. If the flux-lock type SFCL has separated structure of the triggering element and the limiting element, when large fault current occurs, it can reduce the burden of power and control fault current to adjust impedance. In this paper, this system is composed by triggering element and limiting element to analyze operation of limiting current. When the fault current occurs, we analyzed the limiting and operating current characteristics of the two triggering current level, and the compensation characteristics of bus-voltage sag according to the fault angle and location.

The superconducting fault current limiter(SFCLs) provides the effect such as enhancement in the power system reliability due to limiting fault current in a few miliseconds. The Flux-lock type SFCL using the YBCO film among various type SFCLs consists of the primary and the secondary copper coils that are wound in parallel each other through the iron core. The operation can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winging directions of each the coil. We compared the current limiting performance on the additive and the subtractive polarity winding directions in case of an open-loop iron core. To analyze quench characteristics, we experimented various phase angle.

Rotational Magnetization-vector measurements have been performed on a polycrystalline $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ sample in field-cooled condition at 4.2 K. The experimental results show that vortex flux density(B) consists of 3 groups :(1) a weak pinning part ($B_w$) which stays at a fixed angle relative to the magnetic field f(H) ; (2) a strong pining part($B_s$) which rotates rigidly with the sample and has same magnitude with the sample rotation, and(3) and intermediated pining part ($B_i$) which rotates rigidly with the sample, but whose magnitude changes with the sample rotation Our results have been explained in terms of a distribution in the strength of the vortex pinning torque and a repulsive intervortex torque.

We investigated the characteristics of flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) by the fault cycles. Since the recovery characteristics of a superconducting element in the flux-lock type SFCL were dependent on the winding' direction between two coils, the analysis for the recovery characteristics of this type SFCL together with the current limiting characteristic is necessary to apply it to power system. As the fault cycles was increased from 1 cycle to 5 cycles, the initial limiting current ($I_{ini}$) and quench characteristic were mostly same. As the fault period increases, the recovery time of the superconducting element increases. The consumed energy and recovery characteristics in a superconducting element show the same tendency.

The channel of the superconducting Flux Flow Transistor has been fabricated with plasma etching method using ICP. The ICP conditions were 700 W of ICP power, 150 W of rf chuck power, 5 mTorr of the pressure in chamber and 1:1 of Ar : $Cl_2$, respectively. The channel etched by plasma gas showed superconducting characteristics of over 77 K and superior surface morphology. The critical current of SFFT was altered by varying the external applied current. As the external applied current increased from 0 to 12 mA, the critical current decreased from 28 to 22 mA. Then the obtained $r_m$ values were smaller than $0.1\Omega$ at a bias current of 40 mA. The current gain was about 0.5. Output resistance was below $0.2\Omega$.

As one of methods to increase the voltage rating of the flux-lock type SFCL, the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL with HTSC elements connected in series were analyzed. The initial fault current amplitudes in two SFCLs with the series connection of two HTSC elements and with single HTSC element were the same. In addition, the resistance amplitude of each HTSC element in SFCL with the series connection of two HTSC elements had the similar one in SFCL with single HTSC element. With increase of applying voltage, the unbalance of voltage between two HTSC elements in SFCL with the series connection of two HTSC elements disappeared.

The electrical characteristics of single-crystal composite superconductors produced by a melting process were studied by neutron irradiation. In order to improve the current characteristics of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductor, it is necessary to form an effective flux pinning center inside the superconductor. In this study, an increase in flux pinning was attempted through neutron irradiation onto YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductors. The neutron irradiation was performed at 30 MeV for 500 sec, The electrical properties of the superconductors were measured in a magnetic field of 5 Tesla at 50 K using a magnetic properties measurement system (MPMS). After neutron irradiation, the critical current density of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductor in a 1 Tesla magnetic field was 1×10⁵ A/cm². Once neutrons were irradiated at 30 MeV and 10 μA for 500 sec, the critical current density was observed to increase significantly. When neutrons are irradiated to a superconductor, micro-defects are created in the superconductor, and they act as flux pinning centers that hold the magnetic field generated when an electric current flows.
