Abstract
The process of charging of drops of metal melts in an electron flow up to the Rayleigh threshold is analyzed. It is shown that the selection of the energy spectrum of the electron flow used is primarily governed by secondary electron emission. Requirements for electron-flow parameters are formulated at which the efficient discharge of metal melt drops is implemented and no drop overheating occurs, which leads to their discharge due to thermoelectron emission.
