Preparation of Fine Particles by Gas Evaporation Technique with Electron Beam Heating

Saburo Iwama, Eiichi Shichi¹ and Toshio Sahashi

(Received January 16, 1973)

The electron beam heating was applied to the gas evaporation technique to produce fine metallic particles. The advantages of the present method are that it works at very low pressures where the plasma flame heating does not work, and that it is free of the crucible damage which is serious in the case of the tungsten heater. It was found that copper particles of 50 mg were produced per minute in the argon gas of 0.5 Torr with an electron beam of 50 kV at 5 mA.
