The electron beam melting technology is a process of emitting electron beams with high energy density by using an electron beam bombardment gun under the condition of high vacuum, bombarding the surface of a material by using the high-energy electron beams by adjusting melting parameters, and converting the kinetic energy of the electrons into heat energy so as to melt the material. Because the vacuum degree in the electron beam melting process is very high, the interference of impurities in the melting process can be avoided. Meanwhile, the scanning path of the electron beam can be accurately controlled, and the precise operation of material smelting can be realized. The water-cooling copper crucible is used as a carrier in the smelting process, so that the smelting process is ensured not to be polluted by crucible materials, and meanwhile, a faster cooling speed can be provided for high-speed steel after smelting is finished, the growth time of tissues and carbides in the steel is reduced, the segregation degree is reduced, and the materials with uniform tissues, fine carbide granularity and uniform carbide distribution are obtained.
