Abstract :
This paper presents a novel design for a gliding arc plasma generator assisted by a magnetic field for surface modification. The introduction of the magnetic field enhances the motion and reach of the gliding arc discharge. As a result, a 19-cm-long gliding arc discharge plasma was successfully generated and was found to be effective for surface modification.
