Heat exchange calculation in the intermediate container under electron-beam melting

Abstract

The model of titanium liquid melt heating in the intermediate container of electron-beam furnace is developed considering its flow. On the basis of the developed mathematical model, a series of numerical experiments was conducted using finite-element method and finite-difference method. The analysis of model parameters effect on the melt temperature field formation was carried out. These researches results may be useful for the further development of electron-beam guns control algorithms.
