Dispersion of Particles in the Emulsion by the Electric Current
Abstract
Possible mechanisms of metal micropowders grinding during high-voltage electric discharge processing in hydrocarbon liquid are considered in the present paper. Conditions for melting of Fe and Ti powder particles in plasma discharge channel and in microplasma channels between particles are found out. Regularities of nanopores movement and electromagnetic particle compression are evaluated. It is shown that the current density in the discharge channel is an important parameter, allowing the assessment of the efficiency of the electrodischarge dispersion of metal particles.
