Modeling of Electric-Discharge Processes in the Course of Treatment of Titanium in Hydrocarbon Liquids

We propose a physical model of electric-discharge processes running in a layer of titanium powder placed in kerosene and ethyl alcohol. We analyze the dependences of the distribution of plasma formations in the volume of discharge chamber observed as the number of discharges increases. We also confirm the possibility of synthesis of submicron and superdispersed particles in the course of highvoltage electric-discharge treatment of titanium powders in hydrocarbon liquids (alcohol or kerosene) as a result the electrothermal influence of discharge plasmas on powder particles.
