Semi-transferred arc in a liquid stabilized plasma generator and method for utilizing the same

摘要

A plasma generator arrangement for applying material to an electrical conductive substrate and method for utilizing the same. The generator arrangement comprises a generator for creating and extending towards the substrate a plasma stream containing the material. The plasma generator arrangement further including structure for selectively controlling the electrical potential of the substrate relative to the generator anode so as to vary with time the extension of the plasma stream past the generator.
