Abstrakt: The results of the development of the technology for growing super-large single crystals of refractory metals, which were developed at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS of Ukraine. Based on proven technology and acquired skills, a new generation of equipment was created that allows the growth of single crystals of refractory alloys in the form of bodies of rotation. Experiments were conducted on growing a single crystal of tungsten in the form of a hollow cylinder, from which it is possible to make such a product as a crucible. Technological parameters and energy regimes were established, which allowed for control of the thickness of the wall to be welded. As a result of the experiments, an ingot with a welded wall height of 68 mm, a thickness of 20–22 mm, and an outer diameter of 85 mm was grown. The structure of the obtained samples was studied.
