Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the heat transfer processes in electric arc plasma conditions between the powder material and the plasma jet in different convective states. The heat transfer processes in the plasma jet generated for coating deposition are considered based on varying the conditions for the jet–powder interaction. The formed coating deposited onto the substrate acts as an indicator of the heat transfer efficiency. The heat transfer between the plasma jet and the powder material is facilitated by the turbulent nature of the plasma jet. The presented calculation results demonstrate the influence of the plasma flow turbulence on the motion of the fine powder and heating of the generated jet at the outlet of the plasma torch. An analysis of the influence of plasma flow turbulence on the acceleration and heating of fine powder particles was carried out. The experimental results allowed for the determination of the effect of the plasma jet turbulence degree on the heat transfer processes between the plasma and fine powder: the technological efficiency of the device with varying parameters of the spraying process and the flow rates of the material supply and plasma-forming gas were presented. The values of the plasma-forming gas supply rate, the material supply rate, and the Reynolds number were obtained while the other process parameters were fixed. The research was carried out within the state assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (theme No. FSEG-2023-0012).
