Impurities intensify the structural changes in the articles being tested and change theirproper~ies. A concentration of SiO 2 and Fe203 in amounts of 0.5-1.0% increases the extent of the chemical reaction betnveen the refractory and the alkalis and lowers the electrical resistivity by an order of magnitude.The erosion of the periclase articles made from sintered and electrosmelf~d material is approximately the same at high temperatures and in a medium with a higher concentration of oxygen (23%)o The conditions under which the bushing is used in plasma-chemical apparatus with an are-column temperature of 4500--6000~ are somewhat complex and therefore it is necessary to develop an optimum design of the plasmatron unit and better methods of protecting the articles in use.
LITERATURECITED
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.
