Temperature measurements for high-current free-burning arcs in nitrogen

Abstract: A Fowler-Milne technique using the relative intensity of the 746.8 nm N I line has been used to measure the plasma temperature of free-burning arcs in nitrogen at 1 atm pressure. Temperature profiles are presented for different arc currents. The maximum plasma temperature depends on the arc current and is 27000 K near the tip of a 3.2 mm diameter thoriated tungsten cathode with a 60 degrees cone angle for a 200 A, 5 mm long arc. Comparisons are made between high-current arcs burning in argon and in nitrogen.

“…In LTE plasmas at constant pressure, this maximum (norm) intensity is reached for only one temperature value-the norm temperature, and should be identical for all plasma layers. Similar results were reported by Pellerin et al (1992) for arcs operated in argon and by Haidar and Farmer (1993) and Megy et al (1995) for arcs operated in nitrogen. Furthermore, Pellerin et al (1992) and Zhou and Heberlein (1998) found discrepancies between the temperatures determined in the cathode region using separately Ar I and Ar II lines.…”

“…The radial temperature distribution at ab was set according to Ref. 13 (with the peak in the center) as explained later. As regards the carrier gas, boundary conditions on the gas velocity in the axial and radial directions were set at the inlet and outlet.…”

“…The arc temperature is higher [16, 17 and 23] and concentrated in a narrower range [17] . This means that energy input per volume unit is higher and, in turn, permits higher welding speeds, the same as with helium and hydrogen.…”
