Lap joint welding conducts low carbon steel plates using a 2.0kW continuous wave Nd:YAG laser beam. The specimen is composed of thin plate of 20 sheets. Process Variables contain two controlled parameters of the laser power and the welding speed. In order to quantitatively examine the characteristics of the lap welding, the welding quality of the cut section, stain-stress behavior, and the hardness of the welded part are investigated. The weld width difference between the top and the bottom because the welding speed is increased. The reason, cooling rate is decreased because of fast welding speed. When the heat input is higher, larger volume of the base metal will melt and the welding heat has longer time to conduct into the bottom from the top. The microstructure and tensile properties of the joints are investigated in order to analyze the effects of heat input on the quality of laser welded specimen. From the results of the investigation, We observe that welding quality is good for the laser power of 1800W, and laser welding speed from 1.8m/min to 2.2m/min.

This paper describes magnetically levitated vehicle with hybrid magnets, which have been studied by the authors in place of streetcars or conveyance system. An experimental vehicle of 20kg was magnetically levitated by using a small number of dry-cell batteries, which consisted of 10 Ni-MH cells of 1900mAh in series. The magnets were activated sequentially, because the internal resistance of the batteries suppressed the maximum current. The vehicle was kept levitating for about 2 hours and was stable against disturbance due to instantaneous external force. In this paper, dynamic characteristics of the magnetically levitated vehicle using a small number of dry cell batteries are presented.

In order to study on the effect of fabrication methods on the changes of hydrogenation properties of FeTi alloy, FeTi samples were prepared using three different methods, i.e., arc melting, mechanical alloying and combination of the two methods. The FeTi prepared by mechanical alloying represented amorphous structure. The hydrogen storage capacity of arc melted FeTi alloy is larger than any other samples. However, FeTi electrode fabricated by mechanical alloying after arc melting showed largest discharge capacity among them.

Mobile fuel cell is highlighted in these days because mobile fuel cell can contain more energy than existing batteries. Nowadays mobile devices like cellular phone, PMP(portable multi-media player), notebook, and etc. need more energy, But existing batteries like Li-ion or Ni-MH batteries are not going to satisfy such demands. In this paper, mobile fuel cell is developed. Its size is 50*70*8mm and it is made of aluminium plates. The fuel cell type is PEM and the fuel is pure hydrogen and oxygen.

본 논문에서는 기존 HEV의 단점을 보완한 일정 엔진-발전기 출력/가변 전지 출력의 직렬형 HEV를 제안하고 직렬형 HEV 등가실험장치를 구성하였다. 제안된 연계운전방식은 엔진/발전기 출력을 일정하게 유지해서 전동기에서 요구하는 출력이 발전기를 출력보다 크면 전지에서 방전을 하고 전동기에서 요구하는 출력이 발전기 출력보다 작으면 전지에 충전을 하게된다. 내연기관 시뮬레이션과 로드 프로파일을 통한 실험결과로부터 적은 배기가스 방출량과 높은 에너지 효율을 갖는 직렬형 HEV 최적운전방식으로 이용될 수 있음을 증명하였다.

군수용 이차전지는 납축전지, 니켈-카드뮴전지 등이 주로 응용되고 있다. 군수용 전지의 경우 민수용에 비해 사용온도범위가 넓고, 진동, 충격 등의 환경시험규격이 까다로우며, 높은 신뢰성이 보장되어야만 한다. 또한 최근 환경문제의 부각으로 니켈-카드뮴전지는 차츰 설자리를 잃어가고 있으며, 납축전지의 경우 오염물질의 배출뿐만 아니라 저온성능이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이의 일환으로 최근 선진외국에서는 이를 대체하기 위한 연료전지, 리튬-이온, 리튬-폴리머, 니켈-수소전지 등의 개발 및 적용이 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 연료전지의 경우 상용화가 아직 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 리튬계열 배터리의 경우 이상상태에서 폭발하는 특성을 갖고 있어 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 군용 니켈-수소전지를 대상으로 특성을 알아보고 배터리의 합리적 운용을 돕기 위한 배터리관리시스템에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

$AB_2$ type Zr-based Laves phases alloys have been studied for potential application as a negative electrode in a Ni-MH battery. The $AB_2$-type electrodes have a much higher energy density than $AB_5$-type electrodes per weight, however they have some disadvantages such as poor activation behavior and cycle life etc. Nonetheless, the $AB_2$-type electrodes have been studied very extensively due to their high energy density. In this study, in order to develop the cycle life, the Mn of $AB_2$ alloy composition was substituted partially by Mo. The alloys were melted by arc furnace and remelted 4-5 times for homogeneity. The alloy powder was used below 200-325 mesh for experiments. The structures and phases of the alloys were analyzed by XRD, SEM and EDS, and measured the curve of a pressure-composition isotherms. The electrodes were prepared by cold pressing of the copper-coated(25 wt%) alloy powders, and tested by a half cell. The results are summarized as follows. The cycle life was improved with the increase of Mo amount in $Zr_{1-x}Ti_xV_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}Mo_y$(x=0.3, 0.4) and the activation was faster, whereas the discharge capacity decreased.

The effects of surface treatment on the hydrogen storage properties of a $Mg_2Ni$ alloy particle were investigated by the microvoltammetric technique, in which a carbon-filament microelectrode was manipulated to make electrical contact with the particle in a KOH aqueous solution. It was found that the hydrogen storage properties of $Mg_2Ni$ at room temperature were improved by the surface treatment with a nickel plating solution. The sodium salts(sodium phosphate and sodium dihydrogen citrate) contained in the nickel plating solution made the alloy form an amorphous-like state, resulting in an improved hydrogen charge/discharge capacity at room temperature as high as about 150[mAh/g] from the original value of 17[mAh/g]. Potential-step experiment was carried out to determine the apparent chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atom($D_{app}$) in the alloy. Since the alloy particle we used here was a dense, conductive sphere, the spherical diffusion model was employed for data analysis. $D_{app}$ was found to vary the order between $10^{-8}{\sim}10^{-9}[cm^2/s]$ over the course of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation process.

Recent in the world environmental issues and energy depletion problems have been received attention. One way to solve these problems is to use hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Therefore, the interest in HEV technology is higher than ever before. Viable candidates for the energy-storage systems in HEV applications may be absorbent glass mat (AGM) lead-acid, nickel-metal-hydride (Ni-MH) and rechargeable lithium batteries. The AGM battery has advantages in terms of relatively low cost, high charge efficiency, low self-discharge, low maintenance requirements and safety as compared to the other batteries. In order to implement HEV system in required more electric power commercial vehicles AGM batteries was connected to 2 series-2 parallels (2S2P). In this study, a one-dimensional modeling is carried-out to predict the behaviors of 2S2P AGM batteries system during charge and discharge. The model accounts for electrochemical reaction rates, charge conservation and mass transport. In order to validate the model, modeling results are compared with the experimentally measured data in various conditions.
