Berger) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi Roger; I machined down a #14 ga wire to 0.020 that is about 1/4" long and made a run with it. >>
Bob: With 0.25 inches of 0.02" wire that was not "consumed" over a short time, my guess is that you were not close to sputtering temperature. In order to have sputtering take place, you first have to form a molten ball, then you have to provide enough superheat to begin to generate gaseous silver at the point where the arc touches the molter ball. This phenomenon can be identified by a smokey orange corona with sparks at the edges. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
