Possibility of developing mathematical dependencies relating basic parameters of the process of manufacture of spherical tungsten carbide granules by melting of the tip of a tungsten carbide rod rotating at a high speed is considered.
Keywords: tungsten carbide, plasma heating model, conditions of initiation, evolution and detachment of droplets, droplet size, size distribution density, process productivity
