The composition and formation kinetics of erosion products of the metallic charge (aluminum, iron) in an electric-discharge reactor operating at an open-circuit voltage of 500 31000 V, peak pulse current of 250 A, and pulse energy of 0.531 J were studied. Dispersion products of the charge were subjected to electron-microscopic and X-ray phase analyses. The energy yield of erosion products was determined by chemical analysis to be hundreds of times the calculated yields of electrolysis. The erosion kinetics was studied and the mechanism of erosion was considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
