Thermomechanical treatment of tantalic powder in arc discharge plasma

Low pressure arc discharger with the hollow cathode is a newly developed electrotechnological device for fine-dispersed powders of particles having dimensions 50 micron and less. The discharger is useful for putting powder into a high reactive zone of plasma column and for thermal and mechanical action on particles. In NSTU plain scales of splinter tantalic powder were gained experimentally. The experimental results have shown proposed constructive solutions to accomplish electron-ion powder heating with following particles deformation at a tantalic target.
