Spot welding, a kind of electric resistance welding, has been used in many fields such as automobile, aircraft, and appliance industry. This paper is to investigate the relationship between tensile shear strength and indentation depth under various welding conditions. The tensile shear strength increases with increasing the welding current in the range of 6-l3kA. The optimum welding conditions were 200∼250kg welding force and 10∼15 cycles welding time at 9kA welding current for EZNCEN. The indentation depth for optimum welding condition was 0.6mm at 9kA welding curent and 200kg welding force, 0.17mm at 9kA welding current and 300kg welding force, 0.19mm at 9kA welding current and 10cycle, 0.17mm at 9kA welding current and 15cycle welding time, respectively.

In this study the experimental results of fatigue specimen for the Strand Stay Cable Assembly of Extadosed bridges is investigated. The fatigue test and tensile experiment is conducted to 6 kinds of specimens. Test specimen OVM250-31 Strand Cable System manufactured by china OVM B-Machinery Co., Ltd, and OVM250-42 Parallel Strand Stay Cable Assembly manufactured by china OVM B-Machinery Co., Ltd, are passed for fatigue test and rupture tensile test. But Test specimen OVM250-42 Parallel Strand Stay Cable Assembly manufactured by korean A-Machinery Co., Ltd, is not passed for fatigue test conducted according to the "Recommendation for Stay Cable Design. The test result are compared to the fatigue criteria of PHI 2001 for cyclic load, and it is concluded that the current korean design code will be needed for representing the fatigue load in Hot Dip Galvanized Strand Stay Cable. It is verified that the new korean specification and quality criteria of Strand Stay Cable and exact experimental applied process will be needed.

This paper presents the transient behavior of the switching surge voltages generated by interruption of DC ground fault currents flowing through metal flexible conduits. All fault circuits consist of line parameters such as resistance, inductance, capacitance and conductance. The use of nonmagnetic metal conduits should be taken into account in order to reduce the inductance of battery charger distribution circuits. The frequency-dependent circuit parameters of metal flexible conduits were measured. The switching surge voltages generated at the ground fault circuit consisted of steel-galvanized alloy and aluminium conduits were investigated. As a result, the impedances of metal flexible conduits are significantly increased over the range of the frequency above 10 kHz and the switching surge voltages generated along aluminium flexible conduit are lower than those along steel-galvanized alloy conduit when DC fault current is interrupted.

본 논문에서는 인쇄회로기판과 도전체 샤시(Chassis)가 연결되었을 때의 복사성 방사(Radiated Emission)의 감소에 대해서 연구하였다. Current Driven 메커니즘 등가회로를 사용하여 전자파 방사의 주요한 원인중 하나인 Common-mode Current를 인쇄회로기판과 Chassis가 연결된 구조에 적용하였다. Chassis의 유무에 따라 복사성 방사의 감소를 확인하고자 2-layer 인쇄회로기판과 SECC(Steel Electro galvanized Cold-rolled Coil) 재질의 Chassis를 나사(Screw)를 통하여 전기적으로 연결하였을 때를 시뮬레이션 하였고, 제작된 구조물을 3m 무반향실에서 복사성 방사를 측정한 후 시뮬레이션과 결과를 비교하였다. 결과로 30MHz$\sim$45MHz에서 최대 10dB 감소의 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

The initiation and propagation lives of fatigue crack were studied for spot weldments composed of cold rolled steel plates(SPC$\times$SPC) and galvanized steel plates(GA$\times$GA) using DC potential drop method(DCPDM). Through the various test results, it was known that the fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviors in all specimens could be definitely detected by DCPDM. The fatigue crack initiation life( $N_{i}$) detected by DCPDM in SPC$\times$SPC and GA$\times$GA spot weldments increased as the welding current and the nugget diameter( $N_{d}$) increased. The fatigue crack propagation life($\Delta$ $N_{f-i}$) declined as the difference of $N_{i}$ and the fatigue fracture life( $N_{f}$) also increased according to the decrease of fatigue load, $\Delta$P and the increase of nugget diameter. In the same spot weldments, the increase of nugget diameter came to increase fatigue crack propagation life owing to a decrease of stress concentration in front of nugget, especially the increasing extent for GA$\times$GA spot weldment was very high. In the welding current 6kA, $N_{f}$ for GA$\times$GA spot weldment decreased more than that of SPC$\times$SPC specimen due to zinc layer coated in steel plate and undersized nugget diameter. On the other hand, in 8kA and 10kA, the GA$\times$GA spot weldment showed higher $N_{f}$ in spite of lower $N_{i}$, than that of SPC$\times$SPC specimen except 3,000N fatigue load.ue load. load.d.

The polymeric FAB materials of air shower used in clean room of wafer industry have been outgassed with the dynamic headspace (ca.$100^{\circ}C$) for half an hour, and analyzed using GC-MS. The air in the clean room running air shower was sampled using sorbent tube method, and the organic compounds adsorbed in the sorbent tube were extracted using Soxhlet extraction method, and analyzed using GC-MS. The analytical results from FAB materials of air shower (electric over current relay, acryl plate. polycarbonate window, filter, fan housing, steel galvanized cold plate and canvas buffer) indicated that most of chemicals were originated from polymer fragments of FAB materials. Their analytical results have been compared with those from the air of clean room running air shower. These comparative results could lead to identify whether the sources of trace organic contaminants in clean room air are originated from the polymeric FAB material of air shower.

In this study, the effects of weld parameters on nugget size and tensile-shear strength of welding joint in electrical resistance spot welding of galvanized DP 600 steel sheets having 1.2 mm were investigated. Taguchi design method has been employed to examine the effects of five parameters of welding current, electrode pressure, welding time, clamping time and holding time by using the $L_{27}(5^3)$ orthogonal array. Results showed that the most effective parameters on tensile shear strength and the nugget size ratio (hn/dn) were found as welding current and welding time, whereas electrode pressure, clamping time and holding time were less effective factors. Max. 545 MPa strength was obtained through proposed optimum conditions by Taguchi technique.

Regional cathodic protection has significant impact on pipeline integrity management. After risk analyses of a newly built gas distribution station constructed in an area with large dwelling density, risk score was high because of potential threat caused by galvanic corrosion. Except reinforced steel in concrete, there are four kinds of metal buried under earth: carbon steel, galvanized flat steel, zinc rod and graphite module. To protect buried pipeline from external corrosion, design and construction of regional cathodic protection was proposed. Current density was measured with potential using potential dynamic test and boundary element method (BEM) was used to calculate current requirement and optimize best anode placement during design. From our calculation on the potential, optimized conditions for this area were that an applied current was 3A and anode was placed at 40 meters deep from the soil surface. It results in potential range between $-1.128V_{CSE}$ and $-0.863V_{CSE}$, meeting the $-0.85V_{CSE}$ criterion and the $-1.2V_{CSE}$ criterion that no potential was more negative than $-1.2V_{CSE}$ to cause hydrogen evolution at defects in coating of the pipeline.

The spot weldability of high strength steel sheet and two stories galvannealed high strength steel sheet has been studied. 1) Tensile shear strength decreased inversely as welding current increased over 12KA in the case of two stories galvannealed high strength steel sheet. 2) When heat flux input over 12KA, hardening region become narrow in case of two stories galvannealed high strength steel sheet. 3) The size of hardening region affect the strength of nuggets.

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of welding parameters such as current, voltage and shielding gases on the bead shape, microstructures and hardness. It was confirmed that bead height was lowered and bead depth was increased with increasing voltages while height, depth and width of beads increased with welding currents. The hardness of weld metals with Ar+10% $O_2$ and Ar+20% $CO_2$ was low due to the formation of grain boundary and polygonal ferrites while that of weld metals with Ar+2% $O_2$ was high due to the presence of acicular, bainitic and sideplate ferrites.
