Twin carbon arc torch

1 Arc Plasma Torch Modeling

Arc plasma torches are the primary components of various industrial thermal plasma processes involving plasma spraying, metal cutting and welding, thermal plasma CVD, metal melting and remelting, waste treatment and gas production. They are relatively simple devices whose operation implies intricate thermal, chemical, electrical, and fluid dynamics phenomena. Modeling may be used as a means to ...

Visual Torch Position Control Using Fuzzy-Servoing Controller for Arc Welding Process

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-servoing controller method for automatic welding. The proposed method uses a vision based arc tracking to find the initial points of the weld seam and to track them without a prior knowledge. Due to a serious melt down in the weld pool during the welding process, the method requires to control the welding torch in two directions, up-down and left-right directio...

Velocity Measurements for Arc Jets Produced by a DC Plasma Spray Torch

An optical method was used to determine the axial velocity of plasma jets produced by a DC plasma spray torch. Different experimental conditions were tested in order to systematically study the influence of the working parameters on the plasma velocity. In this way, the arc current ranged between 200 and 600 A, the gas flow rate between 30 and 80 slm, and the internal nozzle diameter between 6 ...
