Abstract

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.
