Abstract
1,043,397. Electron beam apparatus. VEB. LOKOMOTIVBAU ELEKTROTECHNISCHE WERKE HANS BEIMLER. Aug. 13, 1963, No. 31948/63. Heading H1D. A gas focused electron beam melting furnace includes an electron gun arranged to fire a beam through a chamber in which the gas pressure is higher than that along the beam path on either side of the chamber, and in which ions generated by the beam are exhausted from the chamber along the beam path both in and counter to the direction of the beam, whereby to reduce beam spread by compensating the space charge of the beam. The beam from an electron gun 2, having cathode 1, focusing electrode 3, and anode 4, is focused by coils 7 and 18, and is directed through an intermediate chamber 10, and a chamber 15 having a gas inlet 17, on to a workpiece 22 in a melting chamber 21, the communicating passages 9, 13, and 19 being of reduced cross-section to impede gas flow therethrough. Gas supply 17 and vacuum pumps connected at 6, 11, and 16, maintain a maximum pressure of argon in chamber 15, the beam producing a plasma 14 therein; the withdrawal of the plasma ions through passages 13 and 19 may be further promoted by the use of ring electrodes 12 and 20. Electrode 8, which may be either positive or negative with respect to the anode, prevents ions from passing into the gun 2. Dimensions and operating values are given.
