Pyrometric and spectroscopic investigations of lanthanated tungsten cathode in argon arc plasma discharge at atmospheric pressure are reported. The distribution of the surface cathode temperature was measured. Calculations and estimates of the emission current density are performed. Experimental data of the total current density are compared with the obtained results of estimation. The possible reasons for the discrepancy between the experimental and theoretical values of the total current were discussed.
