Arc Plasma Propagation and Arc Current Profiles [PDF]
When electrical arcs occur in space, a plasma expands away from the arc-site, neutralizing adjacent surfaces (a current), and causing a current to be produced at the arc-site (source of neutralization current). The speed of this plasma expansion depends on the plasma species, which in turn depend on the ionizable materials near the initial ...

Advances in inductively-coupled-plasma heaters for aerothermal testing of thermal-protection systems
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) heaters generate high-enthalpy and ultra-clean plasma flows through electromagnetic coupling discharge, showing significant value in the research of thermal protection materials (TPMs) for hypersonic vehicles.

Measurement of velocity and diameter of tungsten particles produced by arcing using high-speed video
Arcing is a mechanism of dust production and erosion in fusion devices. The masses and velocities of tungsten (W) particles produced by arcing is of special interest given that W is used as wall material in current experimental devices and is planned for

Ionization in the plasma of a copper arc
From the relative intensities of arc and spark lines observed in a d-c arc in air between copper electrodes, the degree of ionization of eleven elements added to the copper has been determined. With the aid of Saha’s ionization equation, the electron density in the arc was calculated to be 2.4×10(14) cm(−3). Partition functions for atoms and ions of 29

Arc Shape Characteristics with Ultra-High-Frequency Pulsed Arc Welding
Arc plasma possesses a constriction phenomenon with a pulsed current. The constriction is created by the Lorentz force, the radial electromagnetic force during arc welding, which determines the energy distribution of the arc plasma.

Geometry‐driven thermal behavior in wire‐arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) influences microstructural evolution during nonequilibrium solidification of a chemically complex Fe–Cr–Nb–W–Mo–C nanocomposite system. By comparing different deposits configurations, distinct entropy–cooling rate correlations, segregation, and carbide evolution are revealed ...
