Abstract

Refractory materials are zone-refined by submitting them to electron bombardment on a limited zone such that it will be retained in position on the rod by natural forces. The rod may be used as an anode in a cathode bombardment apparatus, or an electron gun may be used to promote secondary emission from the bombarded zone. The rod 6 is held vertically and is encircled by a cathode 16, focusing plates 17 directing the beam. The rod carrier is moved vertically by a worm <PICT:0826132/III/1> wheel 14 to cause the rod to travel through the melting area. A single crystal can be obtained by seeding the starting end of the rod. Refractory materials specified are tungsten, tantalum, rhenium, molybdenum, vanadium, platinum, nickel, silicon and ruthenium. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 769,673.
