Investigation of intense sheet electron beam transport using the macroscopic cold-fluid model and the single-particle orbit theory

The focusing and the stable transport of an intense elliptic sheet electron beam in a uniform magnetic field are investigated thoroughly by using the macroscopic cold-fluid model and the single-particle orbit theory.The results indicate that the envelopes and the tilted angles of the sheet electron beam obtained by the two theories are consistent.The single-particle orbit theory is more accurate due to its treatment of the space-charge fields in a rectangular drift tube.The macroscopic cold-fluid model describes the collective transport process in order to provide detailed information about the beam dynamics,such as beam shape,density,and velocity profile.The tilt of the elliptic sheet beam in a uniform magnetic field is carefully studied and demonstrated.The results presented in this paper provide two complete theories for systemically discussing the transport of the sheet beam and are useful for understanding and guiding the practical engineering design of electron optics systems in high power vacuum electronic devices.

Investigation of the diocotron instability of an infinitely wide sheet electron beam by using the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory

This paper investigates the diocotron instability of an infinitely wide relativistic sheet electron beam in conducting wMls propagating through a uniform magnetic field by using the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory. Assuming low- frequency perturbations with long axial wavelengths, the eigenvalue equation and the dispersion relation are acquired for a sheet electron beam with sharp boundary profile and uniform density. The results presented in this paper has developed the use of the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory by extending the parameter of the electron cyclotron frequency ωc to a wider usage range, which is restricted to be much larger than the plasma frequency ωp in the previous research work. Theoretical analyses and numerical calculations indicate that the transport of the sheet electron beam will be completely stabilized by augmenting the normalized beam thickness to a conductor gap larger than a threshold λb, which is greatly dependent on the parameter ωc/ωp. The larger ωc/ωp is, the smaller λb will be needed. Moreover, the system parameters, including the wave number kx of the perturbations and the relativistic mass factor γb, will also influence the growth rate of diocotron instability obviously.

Dual-Mode Terahertz Extended Interaction Oscillator Driven by a Pseudospark-Sourced Sheet Electron Beam

A terahertz dual-mode extended interaction oscillator (EIO) driven by a pseudospark-sourced sheet electron beam (SEB) was presented.The major advantages of the newly developed circuit include 1) high-density SEB interacting with the TM_(11) and TM_(31) modes,respectively,and 2) high output power of over 1 kW at the subterahertz frequency range.Two different types of 2π modes and their output characteristics were studied,and the circuit was optimized to ensure efficient outputs of two standing-wave modes.The three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation predicts the maximum output power of 1.3 kW with the 3-dB bandwidth of ~0.5 GHz at 303 GHz when operating at the TM_(11)mode,and 3.18 kW with the 3-dB bandwidth of ~0.85 GHz at 364 GHz when operating at the TM_(31)mode.

Research on microstructure and property of electron beam welding joints of titanium alloy sheets

This paper reports research into the microstructures and properties of electron beam welding （EBW） joints of a Ti alloy sheet. To control the TC4 sheet joint formation during electron beam welding is not an easy task. However, the electron beam current has a significant influence on joint formation and a good appearance of a T-joint can be obtained by increasing the heat input and using the electron beam scan method. It was found that all acicular martensite in the fusion zone （FZ） consisted primarily of α＇ phase titanium, with some β phase present. Grain coarsening occurred in the heat-affected zone （HAZ） due to transformation of the β phase. Butt joints possessed high strength, hardness of the fusion zone, and the heataffected zone of these joints performed better than that of the parent metal. The highest shear strength of T-joint was 615 MPa and the fracture mechanism was a gliding fracture.

Preparation of Ti-Al alloy sheet by electron beam physical vapor deposition

Ti-Al thin sheet with dimension of 450 mm×450 mm×0.2 mm was prepared by electron beam physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) technology. The surface and cross-section pattern of as-deposited sample were studied by SEM and AFM,and then the composition and phase were analysed by XRD and EPMA. Finally,the effect on deposit by re-evaporation of Al was explored by calculating the ratio of re-evaporating capacity with depositing capacity of Al on the substrate. The results indicate that the evaporation process with Nb addition into the molten pool makes it earlier to reach the steady-state. The existing equiaxed crystal and columnar crystal along the cross-sectional may be caused by the transformation latent heat released during the transition course of atoms from gaseous state to solid state. The effect on deposit by re-evaporation of Al can be neglected because the re-evaporating capacity of Al is far below that of the depositing capacity.

Fabrication, microstructure and properties of electron beam-physical vapor deposited TiAl sheet and TiAl/Nb laminated composites

The TiAl-based alloys sheet with 150 mm×100 mm×0.4 mm and the TiAl/Nb laminated composites with 150 mm×100 mm×0.2 mm were fabricated by using electron beam-physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) method, respectively. The microstructure and properties of the sheet were investigated by AFM, SEM and EDS. The results show that the TiAl based alloys sheet has a good surface quality, and its microstructure is columnar crystal. The component of the alloys indicates a regular and periodical gradient change which leads to the spontaneous delamination along the normal direction of substrate. In the TiAl/Nb laminated composites alternating overlaid by TiAl of 24 layers and Nb of 23 layers, the interface of each layer evenly distributed throughout the cross-section is transparent, and the interlayer spacing is about 8μm. The component of TiAl layers also changes regularly along the normal direction of substrate, but no delamination phenomenon is found. The TiAl/Nb laminated composites have better ductility than the TiAl-based alloys sheet.

TiAl-based alloys sheet with thickness of 0.3-0.4 mm as well as dimension of 150 mm×100 mm was fabricated successfully by using electron beam-physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) method. The microscopic morphology and phase composition of specimens in various states were analyzed by atomic force microscope(AFM), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD), respectively.

There is natural delamination inside the sheet, of which the microstructure is columnar crystal, and the component shows a gradient change along the normal direction of substrate. After the vacuum hot pressing treatment and subsequent homogenization treatment, the columnar crystal transforms into the coarse fully lamellar microstructure, the delamination phenomenon and τ phase disappear, α2 phase decreases obviously, and the composition tends to uniformization.

The average diameter of crystalline grains in minor axis direction is about 300nm. After heat treatment, the superalloy sheet consists of equiaxed grains, the nanopores with high interfacial energy gather and form fewer pores with larger size, and there is notable increase in toughness.
