Abstract :
For the realization of the new type of the microwave electrode torch discharge the classical coaxial plasmatron was used in which the central electrode of the coaxial was longer then outer electrode exit section. In an effort to increase the electric intensity in the discharge the diameter of the flagpole antenna beyond the bounds of the coaxial line has, been decreased in comparison with the diameter of the inner electrode in single-order. In the streamlined plasmatron model the supplying gas (argon) is executed between the conductors of the coaxial line. Then gas is flown round the antenna and is dissipated in the open space. High stability and repetition of characteristics of the microwave electrode torch discharge at the end of antenna of the plasmatron, for high efficiency of the power consumption by plasma, have been achieved.
