A hot graphite flow mixing chamber for a DC plasma torch, which ensures heating of a graphite target with molecular gas (nitrogen) to a temperature above 3000 K without "thermomechanical" erosion by forming a more homogeneous steady gas flow, was designed. Keywords: plasma torch, graphite, homogeneous gas flow, thermomechanical erosion.
