An electron gun for producing a beam of electrons has an elongated, linear thermionic cathode and a focusing electrode. The opposite ends of the cathode are engaged by adjustable holders which enable the spatial separation between the cathode and focusing electrode to be easily varied. The focusing electrode is electrically isolated from the cathode whereby fine tuning of the electron beam may be accomplished by varying the potential difference between the focusing electrode and cathode.

Electron gun having electrically isolated and adjustable cathode

An electron gun comprises a linear thermionic cathode having part of its emitting surface facing an accelerating anode, and the rest of the emitting surface separated by a gap from a cathode-adjacent focusing electrode. The cathode-adjacent focusing electrode is made of two portions spaced apart. On the opposite end surfaces of these portions, there is attached a pair of flat current-conducting springs whose other ends are connected to leads. The other end surfaces of these portions accommodate cathode holders and have a pair of flat springs attached thereto, the other ends of the pair of flat springs being connected to the insulator of the electron gun housing. The pairs of flat springs attached to different portions of the focusing electrode deflect towards each other. The proposed electron gun increases the stability of its electron-optical parameters.

Electron gun with linear thermionic cathode for electron-beam heating

A device for electron-beam heating of materials comprises an electron gun and an electromagnetic electron beam control system with a rectangular magnetic circuit. The opposite rods of the magnetic circuit accommodate beam deflection windings as well as beam correction and spreading windings. An additional winding is also provided on each magnetic circuit rod. The magnetic fields created by the current flowing through said additional windings form a magnetic quadrupole lens. The device permits manipulating the electron beam so as to obtain a sufficiently long and narrow focal spot on the surface being heated, and also the beam deflection angles range from 0.degree. to 45.degree..
