<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method for preventing the oxidation of a molten metallic material (molten metal). <P>SOLUTION: A storage vessel of the metallic material which is heated and molten and/or molten and held is insulated electrically and an electron having negative elementary electric charge is supplied to the metallic material. The problem caused by oxidation phenomenon can be prevented as much as possible since a reducing atmosphere is formed by supplying the electron which may be lost when the metallic material is oxidized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
