Copper nanoparticles received much attention due to its high electrical conductivity, high
melting point, low electrochemical migration behavior and low cost. Top down (physical …

The formation of strata during fast electrical explosions of aluminum wires at current
densities of (1–1.4)× 10 8 A/cm 2 has been studied experimentally. To observe the strata …

Silver nanopowder was produced in air and water media by wire explosion process. Size of
the particles formed in water was smaller than that in air. In water medium, compared with …

Nanoparticles of copper and copper oxide were synthesized by wire explosion technique in
the environment of different ambient air pressure. Copper wire with a diameter of 125 μm …

The data produced shed new light on particle formation under fast Joule heating: the particle
size depends on the initial size of the crystallites of a metal. The size of crystallites has been …

The technology of wire explosion has been used to produce nanopowders. A new concept
was proposed to produce nanosized powder, which is wire explosion in liquid media. We …

Forming, cutting and welding of metal by impulse has significant advantages, in that short
time scales change the fundamental nature of the forming process and short duration …

Pulsed wire discharge using twisted Ni and Al wires has been tried to synthesize
intermetallic NiAl compound nanoparticles. The effects of wire twisting and gas atmosphere …

Electrically driven rapid vaporization of thin conductors is known to produce short-duration
pressure pulses of high magnitude. This impulse can be used for applications such as high …

This paper presents the experimental and simulation results of electrical explosions of
preheated tungsten wires at a current rise time of several tens of nanoseconds and at a …
