Study of Anode Attachment Behavior and Its Influence on Plasma Jet in Water-Argon Plasma Torch

In this paper behavior of anode attachment and its effect on plasma jet in dc water-argon plasma torch was studied.Dependence of plasma jet deflection on argon flow rate and on arc current was investigated.Effect of arc current and plasma gas flow rate on position of anode attachment and on arc voltage fluctuations were studied and processes that control the position was discussed
