The Atmospheric Electron Beam as a Surface Treatment Tool

B.W. Schumacher,

Abstract

An electron beam, transferred to the atmosphere, is a competitive and in some cases quite superior tool, when compared with the laser, for heating and melting of surface layers of all metals. Its greater radiance number, total power available, and greater efficiency is explained. The nature of the equipment and the target interaction laws are briefly discussed, with references to other, more detailed descriptions. The performance of this tool is described and discussed with reference to three examples of experimental work where it was used.
