摘要:
Method for evaporating melts of alloys of metals of different vapor pressures from continuously fed, large-area evaporating crucibles by direct bombardment of the bath surface with focused electron beams which are periodically deflected according to a pattern. The alloy material is deposited on a plurality of substrates such as turbine blades which are positioned in a field above the evaporating crucible with local adaptation of the energy density to the thermal economy of the melt bath. At least one electron beam is deflected onto at least two substantially rectangular beam fields and is guided in each of these fields through a line raster at a frequency of at least 100 Hz while shifting periodically from one to the other field with a shift frequency of at most 5 Hz.

Electron gun for heating, melting and vaporizing purposes having an electron-emitting cathode, at least one beam-forming electrode associated with the cathode, an accelerating anode, an electromagnetic lens and a beam guiding-tube extending in the direction of the beam path and surrounded by an electromagnetic deflection system for the x-axis deflection and one for the y-axis deflection. An envelope tube is disposed outside of the deflection systems and is joined at its extremity to the end of the beam guiding tube by an end plate through which the pole shoes of the x-axis deflection system are brought. The end plate is inclined towards the cathode beginning from the pole shoes of the x-axis deflection system.

A vaporizing crucible for vapor depositing systems, especially for electron beam heating, includes a plurality of side-by-side segments held in contact with one another by an adjustable compression device. The individual segments have between them layers of a resilient, electrically conductive material which forms a joint between adjacent segments. The segments are surrounded by a frame in which the adjustable compression device is positioned for the transfer of current and compressing the segments. A layer of resilient conductive material can also be positioned between the compression device and the lateral surfaces of the segments, extending perpendicular to the joints. The frame can also include a hollow base on which the segments rest. A layer of resilient, electrically conductive material can be positioned between the segments and the hollow base.

A vaporizer for vacuum deposition installations has at least one crucible and a plurality of crucible-receiving recesses movable into a vaporizing position, a vapor-conducting device and a shutter for interrupting the flow of vapor. The vaporizer is capable of enabling a plurality of different substances to be vaporized in succession without mutual contamination by providing the vapor-conducting device wherein the device has a plurality of vapor screens which can be individually set down at the edges of the crucible-receiving recesses by relative movement between the vapor-conducting device and the crucible. The shutters have a plurality of lobes which can be individually moved over the particular vapor screen located in the vaporizing position. The drives associated with the vapor-conducting device and shutter are interconnected such that the same vapor screen and the same shutter lobe are always associated with a particular crucible-receiving recess.
