METHOD FOR GENERATING AN ELECTRIC ARC WHICH DIRECTLY, AREALLY, THERMALLY AND MECHANICALLY ACTS ON A MATERIAL, AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING SAID ELECTRIC ARC

摘要

A device is also provided herein for generating an electric arc with thermal and mechanic action on a material containing axially symmetrical electrodes, i.e. an anode (4) and a cathode (6), a spark gap (7), nozzles (5) for the working medium flow, cooling media inlet and outlet (12), electric power supply (14), and ring-shaped magnets (9) whose section has the shape of a triangle. Typically, the anode (4) has the shape of the diffuser with an angular span from 5° to 130°.
