Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out metal plating on a linear body in good yields by melting a metal at a temp. slightly higher than the m.p. thereof in double crucibles in a vacuum vessel, and passing the linear body in a heating tube which is erected on the melt surface thereof and is kept at a temp. substantially higher than the m.p. of the metal. CONSTITUTION:A double crucible 2 is provided in a vacuum vessel 1, and a metal 3 selected among Al, Cu, Cr, Ni, Ti, In is put therein, and is heated to a temp. slightly higher than the m.p. thereof by the resistance heating of heating elements 4 to melt. The leading end of a cylindrical heating tube 4' is put into the melt thereof with the remaining part thereof held projected upward from the liquid surface and is heated to a temp. substantially higher than the m.p. of the metal 3 by heating elements 5. If the inside of the vessel 1 is evacuated, the metal 3 creeps upward on the inside wall of the tube 4 and evaporates by the effect of the high temp. tube 4'. Since an optical fiber 7 is disposed from above to the inner tube 6 of the crucibles 2 in the tube 1, the evaporating metal 8 sticks to the fiber 7.

The above problem was solved by providing a metal with a corresponding portion protruding from the surface of the metal liquid, and by running a linear body inside the heating tube. Please refer to the example shown in ijQ (,
To explain from the beginning, as shown in Figure 1, a vacuum container (1
) and place a 2-ton crucible (2) inside the same crucible (2).
For example, put 'A (31f) on gold such as aluminum,
