Enhanced Energy Deposition Efficiency of Glow Discharge Electron Beams for Metal Surface Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The energy deposition efficiency and focal spot dynamics of electron beams produced by pulsed cold-cathode highvoltage glow discharges for metal surface treatment are investigated for two different cathode geometries. A concave cathode geometry in which the focusing is dominated by the convergence of the electric field lines in the cathode fall region is compared with a flat cathode in which the focusing is exclusively caused by the self-generated magnetic field. Results of the treatment of AISI 4140 carbon steel samples show that the concave cathode geometry significantly increases the efficiency, reduces the threshold power necessary for melting, and is less sensitive to variations in the discharge parameters and sample position. The results of numerical modeling indicate that the observed increase in efficiency is caused by the longer persistence of the focal spot on the sample. The model can be used to predict the discharge parameters required for a desired treatment.

Anode Layer Linear Ion Source for Roll-to-Roll Process from 300 mm to 1550 mm
Roll-to-roll (RTR) process requires a linear surface treatment source in various processes such as pre-treatment, etching, and deposition. For high speed and large width processes the linear source should have superior characteristics that can be applied to 100~300 m/mim process and large width treatment up to 2 m. Several linear surface treatment sources have been proposed to the RTR process. ...

The surface of copper alloys was studied by means of a scanning electron microscope after having been sputtered by a glow discharge source under typical conditions for spectrochemical analysis. The surface topography developed during the process of sputtering gave the following two results: It would appear that the energy spread of the bombarding ions is small and the variation in the angles of...
متن کاملA Reflex Electron Beam Discharge as a Plasma Source for Electron Beam Generation
A reflex electron beam glow discharge has been used as a plasma source for the generation of broad-area electron beams. An electron current of 120 A ( 12 A/cm2) was extracted from the plasma in 10 ps pulses and accelerated to energies greater than 1 keV in the gap between two grids. The scaling of the scheme for the generation of multikiloamp high-energy electron beams is discussed. E HAVE demo...

Plasma polymerized pyromucic aldehyde (PPPA) thin films have been deposited on to glass substrates by glow discharge technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) graphs reveal that the surface morphology of PPPA thin films is uniform and flawless. FTIR analysis reveals that the chemical composition of PPPA films is different from that of the pyromucic aldehyde (PA). From the UV-vis spectra dir...
