Fundamental Characteristics of Hollow Cathode Arc Welding.

Source Properties of a Hollow Cathode Arc Plasma

Experiments have been carried out on the properties of a hollow cathode as an ion-source. The measured electron density, ion and neutral temperatures and drift velocities have been compared with predictions from the conservation laws for matter, momentum and energy. Very large exit drift velocities of ions and neutrals are observed. The magnitude and direction, against the electric field, can b...

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. Welding experiments were carried out with ultra-high-frequency pulsed arc welding (UHFP-AW). Ultra-high-speed camera observations were produced for arc surveillance...

The Characteristics of Plasma Display with the Cylindrical Hollow Cathode

The newly designed plasma display with the cylindrical hollow cathode has been proposed and investigated to study the relationship between the photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics. The photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics are dependent on the geometry factors of cylindrical hollow cathode and gas pressure in the plasma display. When p (gas pressure) d...

Arc Energy Characteristics Analysis of AC Square Wave Submerged Arc Welding Using WVD

In process of AC square wave submerged arc welding, electric signal waveform determines the arc energy characteristics in the time and frequency domain, which also reflects the arc stability of welding proc ess and quality indirectly. Using Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD), time frequency analysis is conducted to the current signal of AC square wave submerged arc welding. The Pseudo Wigner-Ville...
