Abstract
In order to implement the electron beam melting technologies the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of NASU developed a multifunctional electron beam unit UE-5810 of megawatt class, designed for producing ingots of titanium and its alloys of up to 20 tons weight. Description of a multi-purpose universal electron beam unit UE-5810 and its specification are given. Functional features of the components of the unit, technological fixtures and electron gun are described. Electron beam unit UE-5810 is a reliable highly efficient installation of industrial type for melting highly reactive metals and alloys, as well as treatment of the produced ingots by surface melting. 12 Ref., 8 Fig.
Keywords: electron beam unit, electron beam gun, technological fixtures, melting, surface melting, ingot
