MECHANICAL IMPULSE TRANSMITTED TO ELECTRODES IN ELECTRIC DISCHARGE BETWEEN BIMETALLIC ELECTRODES

摘要

An experimental study of the electroerosion effect on composite bimetallic electrodes indicated that this effect is governed by the physical properties of all metals participating in the erosion event. The areas of the erosion pits and the deflection of the ballistic pen¬dulum, which is proportional to the impulse imparted to the electrode on discharge in liquid were measured. The results obtained are account¬ed for by the structure of the discharge channel within the framework of the migration theory proposed earlier by the authors.
