Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to help towards a broader and clearer understanding of what may soon become a major metallurgical technique - plasma metallurgy. The book gives a comprehensive yet readily understood explanation of how the use of low-temperature plasma affects the mechanisms and thermodynamics of metallurgical reactions. It deals with fundamentals, describing present equipment and applications to illustrate the scope of plasma techniques. Chapters are devoted to the elementary processes in a plasma, the properties of plasma-forming gases, plasma sources and their circuit schemes, primary and secondary metallurgy operations in the extraction and refining of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, and some representative applications. No prior knowledge of the field is necessary; the book is intended for equipment and process designers, research workers, industrial management staff, and students.
