The PVC insulated flexible cords are used mainly as power supply cords of electric appliance. This electric wire is a stranded wire consisted of dozens of strands. In case stranded wires are disconnected by mechanical stress, it weakens electrically. Finally, the over current flows through stranded wires, and electrical fire occurs. In this study, we analyzed the melting properties of strands by over current, such as melting process, melting current and melting time. And we analyzed that quantity of heat for melting, a cross sectional structure, and surface structure by optical microscope and SEM. As analysis results, melting time decreased as melting current increased. And quantity of heat for melting was low, too. From the cross sectional structure of melted wire, when a melting current low and melting time long, it was found that the dendrite structure grew. However, the dendrite structure is hard to grow because growing time is not enough when a melting current high and melting time short.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the melting phenomenon of filler wire in detail and to obtain the precise temperature distribution of filler wire during GTA welding under the ultra-high welding speed condition in order to develop the ultra-high-speed GTA welding process with the pulse-heated hot-wire system by using three kinds of materials. The melting phenomenon of filler wire was observed using a high-speed camera and the temperature distribution of filler wire was measured using a radiation thermometer. From the above result, the adequate welding conditions of each material to make the GTA welding process with the ultra-high welding speed could be obtained. The ultra-high-speed GTA welding process needed the adequate wire current in order to obtain the adequate temperature distribution and the adequate melting position of filler wire. Moreover, the temperature distributions of three kinds of filler wire could be estimated by using the proposed simple estimation method.

The characteristics of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) are governed by many factors such as the power supply type, operating condition and electrode material. This work deals with the effect of wire electrode materials on the machining characteristics such as, metal removal rate, surface characteristics and surface roughness during WEDM A wire's thermal physical properties are melting point, electrical conductivity and vapor pressure. One of the desired qualities of wire is a low melting point and high vapor pressure to help expel the contaminants from the gap. They are determined by the mix of alloying elements (in the case of plain brass and coated wire) or the base core material(i.e. molybdenum). Experiments have been conducted regarding the choice of suitable wire electrode materials and influence of the properties of these materials on the machinability and surface characteristics in WEDM, the experimental results are presented and discussed from their metallurgical aspect. And the coating effect of various alloying elements(Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn, etc.) to the Cu or 65-35 brass core on them was reviewed also. The removal rate of some coated wires are higher than that of 65-35 brass electrode wire because the wire is difficult to break due to the wire cooling effect of Zn evaporation latent heat and the Zn oxide on the surface is effective in preventing short circuit. The removal rate increases with increasing Zn content from 35, 40 and Zn coated wire

In this study, Hot-wire laser welding (HWLW) without keyhole which deposits filler material by feeding hot wire into the process zone has been performed to increase process performance. From the analysis of High Speed Imaging (HSI), for higher voltage, the process is prone to arc formation and drop transfer, which is disagreeable transfer mode. It is necessary that arc formation and drop (globular) transfer should be avoided by lower voltage. Therefore, continuous wire melting and transfer mode is preferred when adopting this process. The HWLW technique has high potential in terms of performance, precision, robustness and controllability for thick section of narrow gap.

After 6 month of using, cracking of gas exhaustion bag cage of Type 304 stainless steel wire for Al melting reverberatory furnace was founded in welds. Analysis of crack causes in the wire were tested by electrochemical method, SEM images of structure and analysis of composition. Resulted from the test, it could be observed that cracks in the welds were a accelerated by formed polythionic acid on surface of bag cage in sensitized region of HAZ, tensile stress and using environment.

This paper is to analyze and study the cause of fire examples produced because of short phenomenon by electric connecting damage and contacting engine over-heating with combustible materials in engine room of vehicle. In the first example, it knew the fact that the fire produced by contacting with body of vehicle because of loosed of bracket bolt for wire fixing that installed on the transmission case the battery power cable supply the power from battery of engine room to starting motor. In the second example, it certified the fire by short phenomenon because of insulation tape melting wound wiring lined from battery to starting motor. In the third example, it sought for fire's cause that melting phenomenon the wire coating by overheated engine as the wire disconnected with connector by the vibration. Therefore, the fire of system including engine electric made in the danger the people in the car by failure of engine and other system. And than, the car's driver must manage and examine a vehicle conscientiously.

Dynamic behaviors of the GMAW system are simulated using the short-circuit transfer model and the characteristic equations fir the power supply, wire system and arc. The conventional wire equation, which relates the rate change of the wire extension to the wire feed rate and melting rate, is modified to include effects of the molten drop attached at the wire tip. The modified wire equation describes behaviors of the GMAW system more precisely and provides information about the initial bridge volume for short-circuit transfer. The proposed short-circuit model predicts the variation of parameters such as the current, voltage, short-circuit frequency and time considering the effects of the surface tension and electromagnetic force due to current. The calculated results are in broad agreements with the experimental results under the argon shielding condition.

In this paper, we studied on the growing characteristics of dendrite structure of melted wire deteriorated by over current. Electric wire was melted by Jolue's heat. By using HSIS(High Speed Imaging System), we found out a lot of melted parts of wire were dispersed and radiated. Electric wire had narrow melted areas in case of short fusing time. A lot of very small dots generated around the grain of copper cross-section and they were changed into dendrite structure. Dendrite structure appeared at the values lower than 2.5[A/sec]. In case of very short fusing time, fusing current was calculated by empirical formula. The Preece equation was not enough to analyze a variety of characteristics of melted wire because it did not consider melting time, atmosphere, etc.
