【 摘 要 】

To study the difference of plasma spraying process between argon and argon-hydrogen working gas, a relative simplified fan-shaped numerical model of argon/argon-hydrogen atmospheric plasma spray process was set up to analyze the multi-physic field in the spraying gun. The model took electrodes especially cathode and anode boundary layers into consideration. In other words, a two-temperature plasma model was employed. With regard of both ionization and recombination of ions and electrons, their number density distributions, which are important to determine whether the injected particles are charged, were studied. The influence of secondary gas on plasma flow was investigated. According to the results, when adding hydrogen into the pure argon plasma, the temperature and velocity of the gas flow in spray gun chamber increased. The calculated results will provide theoretical guidance for the design and optimization of gun structure.
