Zusammenfassung: | An arc plasma generator comprises a consumable cathode 1, a cylindrical anode 2, and a focusing solenoid 17 arranged coaxially with the consumable cathode 1. A power unit 15 for maintaining the arc is electrically connected to the consumable cathode 1 and the anode 2. In accordance with the invention the arc plasma generator further comprises a tubular plasma guide 3 connected to an end face of the anode 2 and an electromagnet 6. The electromagnet 6 is arranged in the tubular plasma guide 3 on the axis thereof and is enclosed in a housing 7 made of a nonmagnetic material and having a cross-sectional area sufficient to conceal the cathode 1 from the viewer's sight, looking in the direction of the cathode through the plasma guide. Also, the focusing solenoid 17 is arranged on the tubular plasma guide 3 and is connected in opposition with the coil of the electromagnet 6. |
