Abstract
An experimental study of the vaporization of metallic and ceramic particles in a thermal do plasma jet has been initiated and two series of experiments have been performed: (1) measurement of the vapor concentration within the plasma jet by absorption spectroscopy. (2) Investigation of the vapor cloud surrounding a single particle in flight by emission spectroscopy. The temperature within this cloud is determined by the intensity ratio of two lines which are simultaneously measured. The cloud radius is deduced /torn measurement of the particle velocity by laser doppler anemometry, and the vapor concentration is calculated from the line intensity profile, once the temperature is known. Results on iron and alumina particles injected in argon or argon-hydrogen plasma jets are given and discussed.
