Abstract

A numerical simulation of the initial stage of tungsten wire self-heating by a high-power microsecond current pulse was carried out. A wide-range semiempirical equation of state to account for the effects of melting and evaporation of tungsten at high temperatures was used. The metastable states were included in the process model, and the results of the simulation are in good agreement with experimental data.
