The Possibility of Boron Carbide Coating Formation by Using a Coaxial Magnetoplasma Accelerator

Article Preview

Abstract:

A coaxial magnetoplasma accelerator can generate a dense and high velocity plasma jet by applying a pulsed high-current arc-discharge. The results of the experiment investigations of plasmadynamic synthesis in the B-C system have been shown while hyper speed jet boron carbide electric–discharged plasma steams onto copper substrate. The boron carbide coatings were formed on the copper substrate without a binder material. The formation of the crystalline boron carbide coating on the copper substrate was analysed through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
