Plasmato is a dedicated Electro-thermal Finite Element Method (FEM) simulator engineered to model the complex plasma-melt interaction in Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) systems. Say goodbye to costly, time-consuming physical trial-and-error. Plasmato provides a realistic virtual environment to analyze, optimize, and design your melting processes before you ever strike an arc.
Plasmato brings unparalleled realism to your simulations with dedicated modeling of the VAR environment:
Models arc behavior based on thermionic (Schottky-enhanced) and field emission. Captures complex phenomena like arc constriction, side arcing, and uses a probabilistic function for realistic arc positioning.
Key Benefit: Accurate representation of plasma motion and heat distribution.
Calculates temperature evolution considering material-dependent density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity, accurately tracking melting and evaporation phases.
Key Benefit: Precise modeling and forecasting of melt rates and electrode melting behavior
Computes realistic resistance using Spitzer resistivity and arc gap effects, ensuring true-to-life power distribution. Operates under standard voltage control, with support for custom control strategies.
Key Benefit: Reliable analysis of power consumption and efficiency.
Easily define and modify material properties like work function, electrode composition, surface smoothness, and concentration gradients to study their impact on melt quality.
Key Benefit: Unprecedented control for material science research and alloy development.
Plasmato isn't just a physics engine; it's a dynamic platform for control system development:
Forget the steep learning curve of generic simulation packages. Plasmato is dedicated to VAR, making it simple and fast:
