The paper describes the experimental examination of thermal utilization of used rubber. The research was carried out to examine the influence of rubber powder mass flow rate on the process of plasma pyrolysis of rubber. An arc plasma generator has been applied. Ar and mixture of Ar and H2 were used as plasma gas. The analysis of composition of the gaseous products was done by the infrared absorption spectroscopy. All the rubber introduced to the plasma jet was decomposed. The outgoing gas did not contain any of toxic chemical compounds, like NOx or HCN.

AbstractThe powder mass flow rate is one of the main parameters regarding the geometrical precision of built components in the additive manufacturing process of laser metal deposition. However, its accuracy, constancy, and repeatability over the course of the running process is not given. Reasons among others are the performance of the powder conveyors, the complex nature of the powder behavior, and the resulting issues with existing closed-loop control approaches. Additionally, a direct in situ measurement of the powder mass flow rate is only possible with intrusive methods. This publication introduces a novel approach to measure the current powder mass flow rate at a frequency of 125 Hz. The volumetric powder flow evaluation given by a simple optical sensor concept was transferred to a mass flow rate through mathematical dependencies. They were found experimentally for a nickel-based powder (Inconel 625) and are valid for a wide range of mass flow rates. With this, the dynamic behavior of a vibration powder feeder was investigated and a memory effect dependent on previous powder feeder speeds was discovered. Next, a closed-loop control with the received sensor signal was implemented. The concept as a whole gives a repeatable and accurate powder mass flow rate while being universally retrofittable and applicable. In a final step, the improved dynamic and steady performance of the powder mass flow rate with closed-loop control was validated. It showed a reduction of mean relative errors for step responses of up to 81% compared to the uncontrolled cases.

Mathematical-physical model of powder stream in coaxial powder feeding was established. The concentration fields of powder stream of coaxial nozzle of different size and powder mass flow rate were analyzed. The concentration field and morphology of the powder stream were detected by CCD camera. The results show that the size of coaxial nozzle and powder mass flow rate are major factors affecting the powder stream. The mathematical-physical model and experimental data provide theoretical basis for laser cladding manufacturing.

The melt pool size of a single-track clad in the laser cladding of Hastelloy C, a Nickel based alloy, on mild steel substrate has been investigated. The effect of laser processing parameters, such as laser power density, scan rate and powder mass flow rate on the melt pool size has been examined. It was found that the melt pool size is strictly controlled by the melt pool temperature which increases with laser power but decreases with increasing scan rate and powder mass flow rate. The melt pool size is critical for the clad formation in terms of clad height and dilution with the substrate. The clad height increases linearly with the ratio of melt pool size to powder stream diameter while the dilution is an exponential function of the ratio of melt pool size to laser spot size.
