MANYFUNCTIONAL HIGH DURABILITY PLASMATRON OF NEW GENERATION
Current presentation contains a brief analysis of contemporary standard arc plasmatrons characterized by limited time resource and plasma jet contaminated by molten pieces of electrodes. The paper describes a high durability plasmatron of a new generation, which lacks the drawbacks of standard plasmatrons owing to careful positioning of plasma arc on the anode. Preliminary study results show high potential of this new plasmatron in plasma technological and medical applications.
