现在有可能利用一种新的热源高质量、高速度地进行焊接、切割和表面处理,其成本比目前使用激光或电子束作热源时低得多,这顶技术的进步会带来更多价廉可靠的焊接产品。英国 TWI 激光中心和利物浦大学研制出一种新型设备,可以利用微波能量产生可控等离子放电。微波可替代在常规焊接中的电孤,作为一种强烈的热源。焊接、切割和表面处理的放电 It is now possible to weld, cut and surface at high quality and at a high speed with a new heat source at a much lower cost than the current use of lasers or electron beams as a heat source, which will result in more advances Low-cost and reliable welding products. British TWI Laser Center and the University of Liverpool developed a new type of equipment that uses microwave energy to generate controlled plasma discharges. Microwaves can replace the solders in conventional soldering as a strong source of heat. Welding, cutting and surface treatment of the discharge
