[0004] However, the electron guns of the current electron beam melting furnace are fixed in a fixed way, and the melting effect of some high-purity refractory and alloy single crystal structure materials is not good; and the current electron beam melting method generally uses the metal to be processed It is first melted, placed in a crucible, and then recombined to obtain a rod of new performance material (purified and made into a single crystal material). During these processes, the crucible is likely to be polluted, resulting in the purity of the final product obtained after smelting. to request
