Abstract

The effect of a moving arc spot on a material of a plasmatron electrode is considered in the present paper. Temperature-dependence of material thermophysical properties is taken into account. Dynamics of temperature and thermal stresses fields are calculated. The characteristic feature of temperatures distribution along radius of an electrode is large gradient of temperatures in a narrow zone near to a surface which can cause large thermostresses and microcracks.
