The basic characteristics of glass are highly fragile and brittle consequences the ultimate purpose of glass manufacturing is to make a transparent glass with complex shape. In order to solve this problem, mechanical properties of glass can be increased by crystallization of its amorphous glass. However, glass-ceramics has become opaque through crystallization process due to the distracted interface of glass by precipitated particles. This study has been investigated thermal processing conditions of LAS transparent glass-ceramic by using DTA (differential thermal analysis), in order to control size of precipitated particle and then fabricate transparent glass-ceramic. DTA indicated that crystallization peak area was declined with increased nucleation temperature. Subsequently, we have been established optimum temperature for crystallization depending on the nucleation temperature. The transmission and thermal expansion were measured after crystallization, and the size of precipitated particle was identified in range of 20~100 nm by FE-SEM. In addition, by setting the optimized crystallization condition, with high transmission and low thermal expansion glass was synthesized through this experiment.

Degradation in power cables used in distribution lines to the material of the wire, manufacturing method, but also the line of the environment, generates a variety of degradation depending upon the type of load. The local wire deterioration weighted wire breakage accident can occur frequently, causing significant proprietary damage can lead to accidents and precious. In this study, the signal detected by the eddy current aim to develop algorithms capable of determining the signals for the top part and at least part of the signal by using a signal processing technique called K-means algorithm.

The perovskite solid solutions of the Sr1-xMgxFe3+ 1-τFe4+ τO3-y system (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) were synthesized in N2 at 1,150℃. X-ray powder diffraction study assured that all the four samples had cubic symmetries(SM-0: 3.865 Å, SM-1: 3.849 Å, SM-2: 3.833 Å, and SM-3: 3.820 Å) and that the lattice volumes decreased steadily from 57.7 Å3 to 55.7 Å3 with x values. The nonstoichiometric chemical formulas were determined by Mohr salt analysis and with the increase of x values the amounts of Fe4+ ion and oxygen were decreased simultaneously. Thermal analysis showed that SM-0 started to lose its oxygen at 450℃ and SM-1, Sm-2, and SM-3 began to lose their oxygen at around 350～400℃. SM-0 showed almost reversible weight change in the cooling process. All the samples exhibited semiconducting behaviors in the temperature range of 10~400℃. Conductivities of the 4 samples were decreased in the order of SM-0, SM-1, SM-2, and SM-3 at constant temperature. The activation energies of the conductions were in the range of 0.176 eV～0.244 eV.
