Abstract
THE application of gas-phase glow discharges to the activation of many chemical reactions is becoming increasingly important but the parallel application to various aspects of the processing of materials is not as yet so well known. Dugdale1 has described the mechanism and characteristics of the d.c. glow discharge and particular applications to both hollow cathode and hollow anode glow discharge heaters, which can be used for processes requiring an intense heat flux such as zone refining and evaporation machining.
