MODEL OF ELECTRIC SPARK ALLOYING C TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EROSION AND DEPOSITION OF ELECTRODE METALS
The paper presents the main provisions of the model describing the formation of the surface layer on the cathode, taking into account the erosion of both electrodes. The proposed approach is based on the formation of two streams of metal transfer from anode to cathode and from cathode to anode during discharges, as well as uniform distribution of the substance on the electrode surfaces. The model allows to estimate the average thickness and density of deposited layers, changes in electrode masses and the mass-transfer coefficient.
