A Review of Potential Service Applications Utilizing Arc Plasma Technology.

Abstract

Recent advances in high temperature chemistry and the availability of novel plasma furnace techniques, now make it possible to produce a whole new range of materials of widespread Service interest especially for explosives and powder metallurgy. Applications are described in the context of chemical origin and comparison with existing technology. Important advantages are foreseen in the availability of very high temperatures for the preparation of products of carefully controlled physical and chemical composition. In particular, the availability of a wide range of distilled powders having a very high specific surface and being quite different in behavior from conventionally produced powders, would seem to offer many new development opportunities.
