Abstract:

Three types of plasma jets are described a noble gases plasma jet, a nitrogen plasma jet, and a plasma jet cathode as chemical feeder. Powder feeding devices and quenching devices are considered. The use of the plasma jet is described for several chemical reactions metal oxides reduction, refractory metals nitrides formation, and refractory metals carbides formation. The temperatures attainable with plasma jets are in the range of 5000K to 50,000K. Author
