In this paper, based on the basic principle of electron beam technology, the current situation of research and application of electron beam technology on the refining of several high-purity materials and alloys were reviewed. The present problems and the main research direction of electron beam technology were also proposed. %U https://jme.biam.ac.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-4381.2013.08.015
