Abstract
A simple, easily assembled power control system for an electron-beam zone melter is described, where the beam current is maintained constant by a feedback adjustment to the bias on the focusing cage. The system has been used for the production of uniform structures in alloys based on the Fe-Fe3C eutectic.
