T1 DESCRIPTION OF SOME PHENOMENA IN ELECTRIC ARC CATHODE REGION JF High Temperature Material Processes: An International Quarterly of High-Technology Plasma Processes JO HTM YR 1997 FD 1997-06-30 VO 1 IS 2 SP 249 OP 261 AB Photographic observation of the cathode tip and near electrode region of an electric arc, working at atmospheric pressure in argon permitted to observe some interesting phenomena, which take place in this region, e.g. existence of a "dark zone" between the plasma column and the cathode, low frequency (f<0.1Hz) fluctuations of emitted light, existence of several hot spots on the cathode surface at the same moment, movements of the arc spot and modification of the cathode surface structure.
