The technology of plasma synthesis and melting of refractory compounds in the production of hard-alloy cermets

摘要

The paper puts forward an energy and resources-saving technology of combined synthesis and melting of repactory carbides with a metal binder in the plasma of a diffuse electric discharge. The structures of plasma furnaces for producing hard-alloy cermets used as abrasives or wear-resistant tool materials or welding fillers are worked out.
