Abstract: Recent use of ion currents as a sensing strategy in the mechanized oxyfuel cutting process motivated a series of studies which revealed that the steel work piece contributes secondary ions in addition to the primary ions ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional computational model is presented in this paper that illustrates the detailed electrical characteristics, and the current–voltage (i–v) relationship throughout the preheating process of premixed ...

Abstract: This is a study of the suitability of preheat flame electrical resistance as a potential method for measuring the standoff distance an oxyfuel cutting torch and a work piece. Careful scrutiny of forty-seven individual ...
