Plasma Arc Column Temperature Distribution
The temperature in the plasma arc column reaches over 20000 Kelvin through dissociation and ionization. This enables plasma cutting and welding.
Physicochemical Mechanism of Action
The temperature in the plasma arc column reaches over 20000 Kelvin through thermal dissociation and ionization of gases. This causes complete atomization and excitation of gas particles, creating the necessary conditions for plasma cutting and welding.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Too high a temperature can lead to rapid cooling and excessive pressure, causing cracks or distortion in the workpiece. Too low a temperature slows the process and can lead to insufficient weld strength.
Workshop Practice & Procedures
Make sure the plasma arc column is properly adjusted. The temperature should be between 20000 and 30000 Kelvin. Continuously monitor the process and adjust settings to ensure an optimal weld.
