OSTI ID:6575482

A current stabilizer is described for the gun of the ELA-50/5 electron-beam apparatus, which is designed for welding. Stabilization is accomplished by means of an automatic variation of the control-electrode potential with respect to the cathode. The current instability amounts to 0.5--1.0%.
