Numerical simulations of arc plasma under external magnetic field-assisted gas metal arc welding

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
The arc plasma behavior for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) with an external compound magnetic field was numerically investigated. A three-dimensional finite element model for the external magnetic field (EMF) and a three-dimensional finite volume model for

Model and simulation investigation of the whole process of high-current vacuum arc burning

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2021
With the development of the power industry and the increase in the capacity of power systems, vacuum switches have been developed rapidly. The distribution characteristics of the vacuum arc can reflect the working conditions of the vacuum switch.

Sheath parameters for non-Debye plasmas: simulations and arc damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper describes the surface environment of the dense plasma arcs that damage rf accelerators, tokamaks and other high gradient structures. We simulate the dense, non-ideal plasma sheath near a metallic surface using Molecular Dynamics (MD) to ...

Measurement of velocity and diameter of tungsten particles produced by arcing using high-speed video

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
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

Investigation of the Short Argon Arc with Hot Anode, Part II: Analytical Model

open access: yes, 2017
Short atmospheric pressure argon arc is studied numerically and analytically. In a short arc with inter-electrode gap of several millimeters non-equilibrium effects in plasma play important role in operation of the arc.

Surface Modification of Stainless Steel Using an Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Arc Driven by an External Transverse- Alternating Magnetic Field

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2015
An experimental cleaning system for surface modification was developed. It consisted of a plasma torch with a DC power supply to generate an atmospheric pressure plasma arc, two field coils with an AC power supply to generate an external transverse ...

Characteristics Analysis of Fluid Flow and Heating Rate of a Molten Bath Utilizing a Unified Model in a DC EAF

open access: yesMetals, 2022
Herein, a 2D unified model coupling a plasma arc–molten bath–cavity in a direct current electric arc furnace was developed for a characteristic analysis of the fluid flow and heating rate of the molten bath. The ‘local thermodynamic equilibrium–diffusion

Research of a Novel Non-Axisymmetric Side-Compressed Variable Polarity Plasma Arc and Its Pressure Distribution Characteristics

open access: yesMetals
In the keyhole variable polarity plasma arc weldng (VPPAW) process at horizontal position, the metal driven by gravity gathered on one side of the molten pool, and the weld formation is difficult, especially for thick workpiece welding.

Plasma-Pulsed GMAW Hybrid Welding Process of 6061 Aluminum and Zinc-Coated Steel

open access: yesCrystals, 2023
A novel plasma-pulsed GMAW hybrid welding (plasma-GMAW-P) process is proposed for joining 6061 aluminum and zinc-coated steel. The results show that the change in welding heat input has little effect on the microstructure of the joint and the composition
