Abstract

PURPOSE:To extend the molten region of a metal in a crucible and to increase the rate of utilization of the metal by placing a coil opposite to superconductors arranged under the bottom of the crucible, exciting the coil to float the crucible by the Meissner effect and controlling electric current supplied to the coil to move the crucible from side to side. CONSTITUTION:A metal 2 to be melted is put in a crucible 1 and electron beams 3 are projected on incidence points 4 to melt the metal 2. A coil 6 is placed opposite to superconductors or permanent magnets 5 arranged under the bottom of the crucible 1 and the coil 6 is excited to float the crucible 1 by the Meissner effect or electromagnetic force. Electric current supplied to the coil 6 is controlled to move the crucible 1 from side to side. The molten region of the metal 2 in the crucible 1 is extended and the rate of utilization of the metal can be increased.

As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-180728, the conventional device generates a magnetic field using a coil installed outside the vacuum container to control the natural convection of the molten metal in the crucible. Because the distance between the coil and the location where the magnetic field is required is large, a large power source is required. Moreover, since the portion melted by the electron beam is localized, the problem is that natural convection does not occur.

When metal is melted using a curved electron beam that spreads in one dimension, only the metal at the point where the electron beam lands melts and evaporates, forming a narrow, sharp and deep groove, which is then loaded into the crucible. Only a portion of the metal is dissolved and evaporated, making it impossible to evaporate the metal effectively. As a way to solve this problem.

Possible methods include shaking the electron beam or moving the crucible left and right. The former method can be achieved by varying the magnetic field. However, the vacuum vessel in which the crucible is equipped is large, and the magnetic field is generated from outside the vacuum vessel, which requires an enormous amount of power.In addition, the complicated structure inside the vacuum vessel distorts the distribution of the magnetic field. , there is a great risk of disturbing the trajectory of the electron beam.
