This work presents the influence of heating an electrode on the spark phenomenon. Pure Fe, Cu.Co, Ni, Cr, Al, Zn and Sn electrodes are heated to 700°C and changes of spectral lines intensity, the amount of erosion and spark column temperature are studied.The influence of electrode temperature on the amount of erosion depends upon the element's affinity for oxygen.The erosion rate of the electrode, made of an element which is not easily oxygenized, is accelerated according to it's temperature.But the erosion rate of the electrode, made of an element which is easily oxygenized, is decelerated acconding to it's temperature because of it's oxide film.The erosion rate of Cu electrode, which is the most difficult to be oxygenized, depends upon it's temperature in accordance with the formula
M=
C/θ-
T approximately (
C: constant number, θ: melting point,
T: electrode temperature). On the other hand, we can't find a rule about the influence of electrode temperature on spark column temperature.But we find that irregularities arise from the change of the status of electrode surface or electrode matrix.
