INVESTIGATION OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN THE CENTRIFUGAL DISPERSION OF MATERIALS WITH HIGH VAPOR AND GAS RELEASE
A. N. Ponomarev UDC 536.423 We have analyzed the physical processes in a vacuum chamber in the centrifugal dispersion of blanks of D16 and AMg6 aluminum blanks rotating at a rate of 10-80 m/sec with local melting under the action of a stationary electron beam of power density 109 W/m2. A method for approximate calculations of melting under flash heating, diffusion, and vapor and gas release into vacuum is proposed. FGUP "M. V.
