Electron beam welding is a vital art in many core industries. These include aerospace, oil and gas, and medical equipment. EB welding was invented in the 1950s, which was a time when fusion was very much in vogue. However, electron beams have stood the test of time in terms of their real-world applications. Being able to tightly control electron beams via the combination of a vacuum and precision calculations gives
The electron beam welding (EBW) process is a method of melting metals together to form a joint. A powerful and highly accurate beam of electrons is fired at the joint, causing the material to melt and then re-solidify to create the weld zone. If there is one word that comes to mind when EB welding is mentioned, it’s vacuum. There are three main reasons that a vacuum is used. 1)
A focussed beam of electrons creates an energy intensity x 1000 greater than Arc welding Which Industries Rely Upon Electron Beam Welding? EBW uses electrons formed into a finely-focused beam with enough power density to melt metals instantaneously. The weld takes place in a vacuum, is normally be achieved without filler and in a single pass, and with minimal metallurgical disturbance. EBW remelts parent material in a vacuum, resulting
Put very simply, electron beam welding (EBW) is a process whereby two metals are fused or welded together using a beam of high-velocity electrons. This type of welding is suited to applications requiring high-precision, very good repeatability and high-strength. Electron beam welding is carried out in a vacuum atmosphere to ensure that the beam of electrons are consistently in a stable condition and thus preventing any dispersion before they reach
Electron beam welding (EBW) is a metal welding technique which takes place in a vacuum chamber using a beam of high energy electrons to heat the metal. This melts the material, creating a ‘keyhole’ which then solidifies as it fuses with another component. EBW is known for its precision, making it a popular choice for the Aerospace, Defence, Medical equipment and Medical Implant manufacturers, the Motorsport Industry, Nuclear industry, Oil-and-gas
One of the distinguishing features of EB welding is that it requires a vacuum to be successful. Why is this? 1) Prevents Beam Dissipation The Electron Beam is a focused stream of electrons of tiny mass but travelling at incredible speed. When a supercharged electron collides with a comparatively huge oxygen or nitrogen atom in the air, it careers off at an angle. This scatters and dissipates the beam deflecting
