Experimental investigation of electric arc behavior during cutting of stainless steel
Kavka, Tetyana ; Mašláni, Alan ; Konrád, Miloš ; Tossens, S.
The present work is devoted to experimental investigation of electric arc behaviour during cutting of stainless steel. The goal of this work is to define influence of arc voltage fluctuations and anode attachment behaviour on the cutting performance. In most cases the anode attachment was verz luminous and was observed far from the main arc column close to the plate top. The cut material exhibited stronger surface roughness at the anode attachment location. The measured voltage traces showed a so-called restrike mode of oscillations of different frequencies and amplitudes.

Vliv připojeni oblouku k anodě na proud termického plazmatu
Chumak, Oleksiy ; Kavka, Tetyana ; Hrabovský, Milan
The paper examines an effect of an argon amount on the thermal plasma jet generated from water/argon mixture in a dc arc plasma torch. In spite of an increase of plasma velocity with an addition of argon a decrease of plasma jet length is observed for bigger argon amount in the plasma. The investigation was based on an analysis of a jet structure based on imaging of the plasma jet by a CCD camera. Statistical processing of plasma jet photographs provided information about a jet shape and its fluctuations space distribution. It was found that an argon amount increase caused significant intensification of the plasma jet fluctuations.

Difuzní proud v hraniční oblasti oblouku měřený elektrickými sondami
Chumak, Oleksiy ; Hrabovský, Milan ; Kavka, Tetyana ; Kopecký, Vladimír
Electric probes were used for investigation of an intermediate layer between the arc and anode surface in regions outside the main current channel. Distributions of a diffuse current and the potential were measured. Resistance and heating of the intermediate layer by diffuse current were evaluated. It was found that not only the value of diffuse current strongly depends on distance from the arc but also the shape of the distribution and the position of the maximum of the current change with the distance. These trends can be explained by expanding of the plasma jet. Evaluated equivalent intermediate layer resistance shows widening of the conductive region in a stream wise direction. Variation of resistivity of the intermediate layer is much higher than variation of the potential drop on the layer. That means that distributed current as well as Joule heating of the layer are generally controlled by distributed resistance.
