Abstract

The additional pumping of energy into arc plasma flow by the self-consistently formed radially directed beam of high-energy electrons for evaporation of micro-droplets is considered. The radial beam appears near the inner cylindrical surface by secondary ion - electron emission at this surface bombardment by peripheral arc plasma flow ions. The beam is accelerated by electric potential jump, appeared in a cylindrical channel of the plasma-optical system in crossed radial electrical and longitudinal magnetic fields. The high-energy electrons pump, during the time of micro-droplet movement through the system, the energy, which is sufficient for evaporation of micro-droplets.
