  • Electric are furnace dust (EAF dust) generated in steel production based on scrap melting is contained Zn and Fe about 25 and 30 percent by weight, respectively. From a metallurgical point of view, the dust could be regarded as a raw material for Zn and Fe source. To recover the Zn in the metal from EAF dust, many system are proposed such as Arc Plasma Furmace and Pb splasher method. In this study, to recover high purity Zn from Pb splasing alloy, Zn distillation is carried out at the temperature of 1123, 1173, 1223, 1273 K, the gas flow rate of 2.5, 5.0, 8.0 Ni/min and the distilling time of 10, 30, 60, 90 minutes. The main results obtained from this study are as follows:(1) The amount of evaporated Zn and its evaporating rate increased with increasing temperature, but purity of Zn decreased with increasing temperature. Optimum temperature range was found out to be between 1173∼1223K. (2) The amount of evaporated Zn and evaporation rate increased with increasing gas flow rate at a given temperature and distillation time. Gas flow rate has more influence over the amount of evaporated Zn and evaporation rate with increasing temperature.

  • We fabricated Ni and Ni-W alloys for use as a substrate in YBCO coated conductor applications and evaluated the effect of W in Ni on texture, microstructure and surface morphology, and hardness of substrate. Pure Ni, Ni-2 at.%W, and Ni-5at.%W alloy substrates were prepared by plasma arc melting, cold rolling, and the recrystallization heat treatment at various temperature (700- 130$0^{\circ}C$). It was observed that Ni-W alloy substrates had stronger cube texture and maintained it at higher annealing temperature, compared to pure Ni substrate : The full-width at half- maximums of in-plane texture was 13.40$^{\circ}$ for Ni substrate and 4.42$^{\circ}$-5.57$^{\circ}$ for Ni-W substrate annealed at 100$0^{\circ}C$. In addition, it was observed that the Ni-W substrate had smaller grain size, shallower boundary depth, and higher hardness, compared to those of pure Ni substrate.

  • We fabricated the textured Ni substrate and evaluated the effects of processing variables on microstructural evolution and texture transformation. Ni-rods as an initial specimen were prepared by two different methods, i.e., powder metallurgy(P/M) and plasma arc melting(PAM) The texture of the substrate was characterized by pole-figure and surface condition was evaluated by atomic force microscopy. It was observed that the texture of substrate made by P/M did not significantly varied with annealing temperature of 800~120$0^{\circ}C$ and the full-width at half-maximums (FWHM) of both in-plane and out-of-plane were 9$^{\circ}$~10$^{\circ}$. On the other hand, the texture of substrate made by PAM was more dependent on the annealing temperature and the FWHMs of in-plane texture was 9$^{\circ}$~13$^{\circ}$ at the temperature range. In addition, twin texture, (221)<221>, was formed as the temperature increased further. The grain size of substrate made by P/M was smaller than that made by PAM and this difference was correlated to the microstructure of initial specimens.

  • W (tungsten)-alloys will be the most promising plasma facing armor materials in highly loaded plasma interactive components of the next step fusion reactors due to its high melting point, high sputtering resistance and low deuterium/tritium retention. The bonding technology of tungsten to Cu alloy was one of the key issues. In this paper, W/CuCrZr diffusion bonding has been performed successfully by inserting pure metal interlay. The joint microstructure, interfacial elements migration and phase composition were analyzed by SEM, EDS, XRD, and the joint shear strength and micro-hardness were investigated. The mock-ups were fabricated successfully with diffusion bonding and the cladding technology respectively, and the high heat flux test and thermal fatigue test were carried out under actively cooling condition. When Ni foil was used for the bonding of tungsten to CuCrZr, two reaction layers, Ni4W and Ni(W) layer, appeared between the tungsten and Ni interlayer with the optimized condition. Even though Ni4W is hard and brittle, and the strength of the joint was oppositely increased (217 MPa) due primarily to extremely small thicknesses (2~3 ${\mu}m$). When Ti foil was selected as the interlayer, the Ti foil diffused quickly with Cu and was transformed into liquid phase at $1,000^{\circ}C$. Almost all of the liquid was extruded out of the interface zone under bonding pressure, and an extremely thin residual layer (1~2 ${\mu}m$) of the liquid phase was retained between the tungsten and CuCrZr, which shear strength exceeded 160 MPa. When Ni/Ti/Ni multiple interlayers were used for bonding of tungsten to CuCrZr, a large number of intermetallic compound ($Ni_4W/NiTi_2/NiTi/Ni_3T$) were formed for the interdiffusion among W, Ni and Ti. Therefore, the shear strength of the joint was low and just about 85 MPa. The residual stresses in the clad samples with flat, arc, rectangle and trapezoid interface were estimated by Finite Element Analysis. The simulation results show that the flat clad sample was subjected maximum residual stress at the edge of the interface, which could be cracked at the edge and propagated along the interface. As for the rectangle and trapezoid interface, the residual stresses of the interface were lower than that of the flat interface, and the interface of the arc clad sample have lowest residual stress and all of the residual stress with arc interface were divided into different grooved zones, so the probabilities of cracking and propagation were lower than other interfaces. The residual stresses of the mock-ups under high heat flux of 10 $MW/m^2$ were estimated by Finite Element Analysis. The tungsten of the flat interfaces was subjected to tensile stresses (positive $S_x$), and the CuCrZr was subjected to compressive stresses (negative $S_x$). If the interface have a little microcrack, the tungsten of joint was more liable to propagate than the CuCrZr due to the brittle of the tungsten. However, when the flat interface was substituted by arc interfaces, the periodical residual stresses in the joining region were either released or formed a stress field prohibiting the growth or nucleation of the interfacial cracks. Thermal fatigue tests were performed on the mock-ups of flat and arc interface under the heat flux of 10 $MW/m^2$ with the cooling water velocity of 10 m/s. After thermal cycle experiments, a large number of microcracks appeared at the tungsten substrate due to large radial tensile stress on the flat mock-up. The defects would largely affect the heat transfer capability and the structure reliability of the mock-up. As for the arc mock-up, even though some microcracks were found at the interface of the regions, all microcracks with arc interface were divided into different arc-grooved zones, so the propagation of microcracks is difficult.

  • 본 연구에서는 순수한 W에 B의 첨가량을 달리하여 플라즈마 아크 용해한 후, B가 용해잉고트와 재결정 후의 미세조직에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조직관찰, 결정립도 측정, 경도시험, AES 및 XRD 분석을 통하여 조사하였다. 조직관찰 및 결정립도 측정결과, B가 W의 고용한도 내의 조성으로 첨가되었을 때는 B의 첨가량에 따라 결정립이 급격히 감소하여 결정립미세화 효과를 나타내었다. 고용한도 이상의 조성으로 B가 첨가되었을 경우에는 B가 고용된 초정 W과 W-$W_2B$의 공정조직을 가진 2개의 상으로 이루어진 것이 관찰되었으며 AES 및 XRD 분석에 의해 확인되었다. B의 첨가량의 증가에 따라 재결정온도가 상승하였고 재결정립도가 미세화되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • This research presents tetrahedral amorphous (ta-C) coating on the artificial tooth for improving the durability and functionality (esthtics, foreign body of tooth) by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA). A differentiated coating method is required for a ta-C coating on polymer owing to the low melting point of the polymer, inter-facial adhesion, low friction, and non-conductivity. Herein, ta-C coating is applied below 50℃, and the potential difference of the carbon plasma drawn to the substrate was controlled by applying a positive duct bias voltage without using a substrate bias voltage. Consequently, the ta-C coating with a thickness of 70nm using the duct bias condition of 20V with the highest plasma intensity satisfies the esthetics of the artificial tooth and had a 5B level of inter-facial adhesion. In addition, the composite hardness of ta-C/polymer is 380 MPa, and correlations with esthetics, sp3 bonding, and mechanical properties. The friction coefficient (CoF) of the ta-C coating in a water-lubricated environment is 0.07, showing a six-fold reduction in CoF compared with that of a polymer.

  • We fabricated cube-textured Ni and Ni-W alloy substrates for coated conductors and characterized the effects of W addition on microstructure, mechanical strength, and magnetic properties of the substrate. Pure Ni and Ni-(2, 3, 5at.%)W alloys were prepared by plasma arc melting, heavily cold rolled and then annealed at various temperatures of $600-1300^{\circ}C$. The texture was evaluated by pole-figure and orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis. Mechanical properties were investigated by micro Vickers hardness and tension test. Ferromagnetism of the substrate was measured by physical property measurement system (PPMS). It was observed that Ni-W substrates had sharp cube texture, and the full-width at half-maximums (FWHMs) of in-plane texture was $^{\circ}$-5.57$4.42^{\circ}$, which is better than that of pure Ni substrate. In addition cube texture of Ni-W substrates was retained at higher temperature up to $1300^{\circ}C$. Microstructural observation showed that the Ni-W substrates had fine grain size and higher mechanical properties than the pure Ni substrate. These improvements are probably due to strengthening mechanisms such as solid solution hardening and/or grain size strengthening. PPMS analysis showed that addition of W effectively reduced saturation magnetization in applied magnetic field and Curie temperature.

  • 실용적인 Fe-Ti계 수소저장합금전극을 제조하기위한 적절한 공정을 확립하기위하여 다섯가지의 서로다른 제조공정을 선택하여 조사하여 보았다. 전극제조를 위해 먼저 FeTi 합금을 플라즈마 아크 용해로에서 용해제조한 후 분쇄하여 분말을 만들고 이를 성형하였다. 성형전에 합금분말을 Ni무전해도금하여 본 결과 Fe-Ti 합금의 방전특성이 개선되었으며 열처리효과에 대하여도 검토하여 보았다. 성형전 합금분말을 열처리하는 경우 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 전극의 방전용량이 증가함을 확인하였으며 특히 성형후 $100^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 열처리하는 경우 가장 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이들 결과로 부터, Ni무전해도금과 열처리가 Fe-Ti 계 전극의 방전성능을 향상시키는데 결정적인 역할을 함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구에서 제안된 공정에 따라서 Mn을 첨가하여 Fe-Ti-Mn 전극을 제조하고 그 성능을 조사하여 본 결과 대단히 바람직한 결과를 얻었다.
