Copper chip scrape has been occurred by cutting of copper pipe. The feasibility of copper chip scrape into the copper powder by milling was studied. Two milling type such as rod milling and horizontal balling milling were applied in this research. Copper chip can not fragmented into powder by using rod milling. In contrast to rod milling, copper chip can be changed into powder by horizontal ball milling for above 36 hours. It was found that recycling of copper chip scraps into copper powder by horizontal ball milling is possible and powder fraction percent ($75{\sim}150{\mu}m$) of milled copper chip for 48 hours is 25.3%.

This paper presents the measuring technique for local heat transfer coefficients using a copper sensor in a rod bundle with mixing vanes. A copper sensor consists of a cartridge heater and four pieces of thermocouple. The Heater is located at the center of the copper sensor and thermocouples measure the surface temperature of the copper sensor. Unheated copper sensor and heated copper sensor are able to measure the local heat transfer coefficient at the position where the heated copper sensor is installed. However the entire region of a rod bundle is actually not heated, the decay of local heat transfer coefficients measured represents overestimated value rather than an actual value. The calibration curve for local heat transfer coefficients is presented using the correction factor calculated by CFD.

The present study is concerned with the hydrostatic extrusion process for the copper-clad aluminum rod through metallurgical joining. The rigid viscoplastic finite element analyses are performed for the steady state extrusion process of the bimetal rod. An algorithm for finding the interface profile of the bimetal rod by tracking a particle path in Eulerian domain is presented. The distributions of the effective strain rate, equivalent stress and hardness are examined for the several extrusion ratios. Experiments are also carried out for the copper-clad aluminum rod at room temperature. It is found out that the finite element predictions are generally in good agreement with the experimental observations. The detail comparisons of the extrusion loads predicted by the element method with those by experiments are given.

In order to manufacture copper ultra fine wire used for bonding wire in integrated circuit package, continuous casting process, which can produce high purity copper rod with small cross section, and wiredrawing process have to be optimized to prevent wire brakeage during entire manufacturing process of fine wire. The optimum condition for producing copper rod with mirror surface has to established by investigation of the effects of several parameters such as withdrawal speed, superheat and rod diameter on grain morphology of the cast rod and on its drawing characteristics to fine wire. The purpose of this study is to propose the optimized process parameters in continuous casting process in order to produce cast rod without internal defects, and to predict microstructure orientation suitable for wire drawing process.

The present study is concerned with the hydrostatic extrusion process of copper-clad aluminum rod through metallurgical joining. In this study, the rigid plastic finite element program, HICKORY, is used to analyze the steady state extrusion process of the bimetal rod. Simulations are performed for copper-clad aluminum rod with several extrusion ratio to give the distributions of effective strain rate, equivalent stress and hardness. Experiments are also carried out for aluminum-inserted copper rod at room temperature. It is found out that finite element predictions are generally in good agreement with the experimental observations. The detail comparison of the extrusion loads by the finite element method with those by experiments are given.

This paper carried out the comparative analysis on ground impedance of a carbon block and a copper rod. Two types of grounding electrode were compared ; a carbon block (L : 1 m, ${\Phi}$ : 245 mm) buried at a depth of 0.8 m and a three-linked copper rod (L : 1 m, ${\Phi}$ : 10 mm) of equilateral triangles with 1 m spacing. Ground impedance depending on applied current source was evaluated by the application of a sine wave current with 60 Hz ~ 3.5 MHz, a fast-rise pulse with rising time of 200 ns, a standard lightning impulse of $8/20{\mu}s$ and a 600 Hz square wave. Ground impedance for both electrodes were almost the same value below 100 kHz, and increased rapidly afterwards. The maximum ground impedance appeared $400{\Omega}$ at around 1.5 MHz. Ground impedance of the carbon block was lower at the square wave and was higher at fast-rise pulse than that of the copper rod. Also, ground impedance as ages showed no difference for the last 8 months. From the results, it is likely that ground performance for both electrodes shows no difference against commercial frequency and lightning impulse current, while the copper rod shows better performance against a fast-rise pulse with rise-time of a few hundred ns.

A hyrdrothermal synthesis has been developd to prepare rod-like crystals of copper oxide using copper nitrate trihydrate as a function of synthesis temperature, stirring speed and solution pH value. The properties of the fabricated crystals were studied using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and particle size analysis. The morphology of the synthesized CuO was dependent on both the pH value of the solution and the morphology of the seed materials. Synthesized particles have regular morphologies and a uniform size distribution.

The deformed shape of rod specimen of copper alloys was measured after the high-velocity impact against a rigid anvil and analyzed with one-dimensional theory to determine dynamic yield stress and strain-rate sensitivity which is defined as the ratio of dynamic yield stress to static flow stress. The evvect of two-dimensional deformation on the determination of dynamic yield stress by the one-dimensional theory, was investigated through comparison with the analysis by hydrocode. It showed that the one-dimensional theory is relatively consistent with two-dimensional hydrocode in spite of its simplicity in analysis.

A clad material is a different type of the typical composites which is composed of two or more materials joined at their interface surface. The advantage of clad material is that the combination of different materials can satisfy both the need of good mechanical properties and the other demand of user such as electrical properties instantaneouly. This paper is concerned with the direct and indirect extrusion process of copper-clad aluminum rod. Extrusion of copper-clad aluminum rod was simulated using a commercially available finite element package of DEFORM. The simulations were performed for copper-clad aluminum rod to predict the distributions of temperature, effective stress, effective strain rate and moan stress for some sheath thicknesses, die exit diameters and die temperatures.

This paper describes the characteristics of a newly suggested arc-inducing driven rod with needles which could effectively spread out both the failure current with power frequency and the lightning current. The structural characteristic of the driven rod was that needles were attached on the surface of the conventional shaped driven rod and the driven rod with needles was installed inside of a copper pipe.As a result of analyzing the characteristics of this suggested driven rod when it was employed as the driven rod of an arrester in distribution system, it was verified that the primary voltage of the arrester was reduced by effectively exhausting the electrical energy since the arc occurred between the needle and the copper pipe.
