The technology of metal surface strengthening with plasma arc has quite different characteristics of High frequency quenching. The results similar to that of the laser beam. The properties make it possible that develop a plasma arc heating robot as a portable device for the case surface strengthening of steels. The characters of the plasma are analyzed at first, then the plasma arc as Guess distribution circular heat source is studied to create the surface strengthening temperature field and heating process. The surface strengthening technology and the hardware design of the plasma arc surface- strengthening robot is given.

<p>Plasma arc recovery melting of the quartz-leucoxene concentrate is investigated. Experiments were made in laboratory DC plasma arc furnace in various crucibles. The best results are reached in a cold copper crucible. The temperature field of a pool is calculated in hot graphite and cold copper crucibles. It is shown that in a graphite crucible diameter of an anode spot is more, and density of current and material temperature in a spot is less, than in copper that is the reason of the worst refinements in a graphite crucible.</p>

Plasma arc bending of laminated clad metal sheets (LCMS) is a newly developed technique that produces deformation in the LCMS by thermal stress instead of external mechanical force. Since the temperature field leads to the thermal stress, a FEM mode was developed to study the temperature variations in the plasma arc bending of the LCMS which was validated robustness by the experiments. The results show that the temperature variations of the LCMS include the preheating, temperature dramatically changing and cooling stages. The lowest temperature is in the inlet whereas the highest temperature is in the outlet along the heating line. It needs to regulate the energy input of the plasma arc to avoid the possible partial melting of the LCMS.

Abstract FEA-based Gaussian density heat source models were developed to study the effect of convective and radiative heat sinks on the transient temperature field predicted by the available approximate analytical solution of the purely conduction-based Goldak’s heat source. A new complex 3D Gaussian heat source model, incorporating all three modes of heat transfer, i.e., conduction, convection and radiation, has been developed as an extension of the Goldak heat source. Its approximate transient analytical solutions for this 3-D moving heat source were derived and numerically benchmarked with the available measured temperature & weld pool geometry data by Matlab programming with ~5 to 6 times faster than FEA-based simulation. The new complex 3D Gaussian heat source model and its approximate solution could significantly reduce the computing time in generating the transient temperature field and become an efficient alternative to extensive FEA-based simulations of heating sequences, where virtual optimisation of a melting heat source (i.e. used in welding, heating, cutting or other advanced manufacturing processes) is desirable for characterisation of material behaviour in microstructure evolution, melted pool, microhardness, residual stress and distortions.

Abstract. It is commonly believed that cumulus convection preferentially generates gravity waves with tropospheric vertical wavelengths approximately twice the depth of the convective heating. Individual cumulonimbus, however, act as short term transient heat sources (duration 10 to 30 min). Gravity waves generated by such sources have broad frequency spectra and a wide range of vertical scales. The high-frequency components tend to have vertical wavelengths much greater than twice the depth of the heating. Such waves have large vertical group velocities, and are only observed for a short duration and at short horizontal distances from the convective source. At longer times and longer distances from the source the dominant wave components have short vertical wavelengths and much slower group velocities, and thus are more likely to be observed even though their contribution to the momentum flux in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere may be less than that of the high frequency waves. These properties of convectively generated waves are illustrated by a linear numerical model for the wave response to a specified transient heat source. The wave characteristics are documented through Fourier and Wavelet analysis, and implications for observing systems are discussed.

The uniformity of temperature field distribution in creep aging process is very important to the forming accuracy of components. In this paper, the temperature field distribution of 2219 aluminum alloy tank cover during aging forming is simulated by using the finite element software FLUENT, and a two-stage heating process is proposed to reduce the temperature field distribution heterogeneity. The results show that the temperature difference of the tank cover is large in the single-stage heating process, and the maximum temperature difference is above 27°C,which seriously affects the forming accuracy of the tank cover. With two-stage heating process, the temperature difference in the first stage has almost no direct impact on the forming accuracy of the top cover. In the second stage, the temperature difference of the tank cover is controlled within 10°C, compared with the single-stage heating, the maximum temperature difference is reduced by more than 17°C. The two-stage heating effectively reduces the heterogeneity of the temperature field of the top cover. The research provides technical support for the precise thermal mechanical coupling of large-scale creep aging forming components.
