We have shown that REF initiated near the tip of a conical cathode involves high-energy electron fraction with ultrashort length of about 10 ps. Analytical and numerical considerations show that the REF generation and cessation is determined by a combination of ionization processes in the gas in the vicinity of the cathode, resulting in multiplication of free electrons and expansion of the cathode plasma layer, and dynamic processes that switch on/off a threshold electric field at the anode side plasma border which is sufficiently high for electrons to become runaway. The characteristic time of REF generation and termination can be estimated from the rate of ionization at a near-threshold field as ~2 ps. This elementary time determines the pulse length for the runaway electron current that was calculated to be ~6 ps, which is close to its experimental value.","PeriodicalId":190249,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Congress on Energy Fluxes and Radiation Effects (EFRE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126609443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For switches with a conduction time of ~ 100 ns, simple formulae are derived to estimate the magnetic field velocity in collisionless and collisional plasmas. It is shown that in both cases this velocity is determined by the magnetic field rise rate to plasma density ratio raised to the 1/2 power. As the conduction time is increased to ~ 1 µs, the field velocity starts to depend on the plasma aggregation by a magnetic piston. At the same time, irrespective of the conduction time, the electron flow velocity is limited by the radial drift velocity in crossed magnetic and polarization electric fields. Such a limitation suppresses the current channel conductivity with respect to the Spitzer value by a factor equal to the electron magnetization parameter raised to one or another power. On completion of the conduction phase, the rate of rise of the switch resistance is proportional to the electron drift velocity. The peak switch voltage obtained in calculations is compared with its values recorded in experiments on mega-ampere current switching. A procedure is also presented for calculating the switch parameters to obtain the maximum possible voltage in the phase of current cutoff.","PeriodicalId":190249,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Congress on Energy Fluxes and Radiation Effects (EFRE)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126618316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nitriding was carried out on the «ELION» setup at 723, 793, and 823 K temperatures and 1, 3, and 5 hours duration. For effective heating of the samples, the electronic component of the gas discharge plasma was used. This treatment mode is called the elion mode, that is, it includes the action of both the electronic and ion components of a non-self-sustained arc discharge plasma with a glowing cathode. It was established that the hardness of the surface layer of steel is maximum (10.8 GPa) at a nitriding temperature of 793 K, regardless of the process duration. The thickness of the hardened layer reaches $60 mumathrm{m}$ and weakly depends on the process temperature. It is shown that the minimum (≈200 times less than the wear parameter of the initial steel) value of the wear parameter (maximum wear resistance) is achieved after 3 hours of nitriding at temperature of 793 K. It was found that nitrogen saturation of AISI 310S austenitic high-chromium steel in a low-pressure gas discharge plasma is accompanied by the formation of a multiphase structure. The hardening phases of the layer are chromium and iron nitrides, the particle sizes vary within a few tens of nanometers. It was shown for the first time that with the elion nitriding method for AISI 310S steel, a plate-like structure with alternating plates of austenite and iron nitride of the composition Fe4N is formed in the modified layer; the austenite plates transverse dimensions vary in the range of 10–60 nm, nitride layers transverse sizes vary in the range of 10–23 nm.","PeriodicalId":190249,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Congress on Energy Fluxes and Radiation Effects (EFRE)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116400958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outer plasma shell was produced by 48 plasma guns arranged in a circle of diameter 35 cm. The pinch plasma was generated by a vacuum arc which operated in a gap between an aluminum cathode and an aluminum anode. The initial mass density profiles of metal-puff pinches generated in different load configurations were estimated from experimentally obtained current and voltage waveforms, signals of magnetic probes, and images taken with a streak camera and an HSFC Pro four-frame optical camera. For radii $R$ larger than 0.2 cm, the initial radial mass density profile of a metal-puff pinch was approximated by three Gauss functions. The central part of the pinch with R < 0.2 cm was formed by an aluminum plasma jet with a uniform density. The density profiles in the adjacent jet region (0.2 < R < 2 cm) were provided by the contribution of the aluminum ions from the vacuum arc anode. The next density profile (2 < R < 14 cm) was probably determined by the mass contribution from the surface of the insulator near which the vacuum arc operated. The density peak at the periphery (14 < R < 16 cm) occurred due to the operation of the plasma guns at the diameter of 35 cm.","PeriodicalId":190249,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Congress on Energy Fluxes and Radiation Effects (EFRE)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116742310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
