Shunting arc-produced hybrid plasma and its magnetic drive for PBII&D

Hybrid plasmas produced by shunting arc discharge are described in this article. The shunting arc was generated in various ambient atmospheres. When a carbon-shunting arc was generated in a nitrogen atmosphere, the carbon ion species were produced at the arc stage, the electrons of which accelerated toward the wall, colliding with the gas species in the chamber to produce nitrogen ions. When the arc was generated in a methane atmosphere, the hydrogen content in the deposited carbon film changed with the gas pressure. When the arc was generated in gaseous RF plasma, an enhancement in the plasma density was confirmed with ion current measurement. Another method of the shunting arc application is the usage of the Lorentz force, which accelerates the entire plasma body toward the target. This results in a fast deposition of the plasma species such as carbon.

Investigation into arc constriction by active fluxes for tungsten inert gas welding

Abstract

Mechanisms by which active fluxes increase the penetration of conventional tungsten inert gas (TIG) welds (so called A-TIG welds) are reviewed. The most dominant mechanism for increased penetration is considered to be arc constriction rather than a change in the surface tension of the molten pool. An experimental programme of work was carried out using A-TIG flux in combination with a number of welding processes. The plasma process was investigated as it gives greater penetration than conventional TIG welding by increasing current density. The CO₂ laser and electron beam processes which do not rely on a current carrying arc as the heat source for welding were also investigated. Macrosections taken from the welds made by these processes showed that the A-TIG flux was only effective when the weld pool was produced by an arc or plasma. Where there was no arc or plasma present, the flux had little effect.

The effect of arc current on the corrosion behaviour of coated NiTi alloy on AISI304 by plasma transferred arc process

In this study, the effect of arc current on the corrosion behaviour of NiTi coating on stainless steel has been investigated. NiTi powder mixture was alloyed on surface austenitic AISI304 by using plasma transferred arc (PTA) method. Surface alloying process is turned out using 80, 90, 100 A current densities and Ar atmosphere which is plasma and protective. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was analyzed by measuring the potentiodynamic polarization scanning (PDS) technique. Results indicate that corrosion resistances of the coatings decrease with increasing the arc current. In addition, the localized corrosion on the surface of produced coating at 100A is more activated than other coatings and the most passive coating in view of corrosion was obtained at produced coating at 80A.     

Plasma channel formation for triggering arc welding

Abstract

A method of starting arc welding using a plasma channel formed between electrodes in a tungsten inert gas arc welding system was demonstrated. The plasma channel was generated by gas breakdown in the laser beam path. In a previous study by the present authors, the arc welding could be started using a laser produced plume. Results in the present study indicated that the laser energy required to start the process using the plasma channel was lower than that using the plume.     

Effect of Ti-Al on microstructures and mechanical properties of plasma arc in-situ welded joint of SiCp/Al MMCs

The effect of Ti-Al on microstructures and mechanical properties of SiCp/Al MMC joints produced by plasma arc in-situ weld-alloying was investigated, in which argon-nitrogen mixture was used as plasma gases and Ti-Al alloy as filling composite. The results show that the formation of needle-like harmful phase Al4C3 is effectively prevented in the weld by in-situ weld-alloying/plasma arc welding with Ti-Al alloy sheet filler whose titanium content is more than 20%. The fluidity of molten pool is improved, and stable molten pool is gained for the addition of the Ti-Al alloy. The mechanical properties of welded joint are effectively enhanced by the compact-grain structure and the new reinforced composites such as Al3Ti, TiN, AlN and TiC welded joint. The test results of mechanical property show that the maximum tensile strength of welded joint gained by adding Ti-60Al alloy is up to 235 MPa. The factors influencing the tensile strength were also investigated.
