Electron Beam Blog

Electron Beam Welding (EBW) is one of several methods used to weld metal components together. It differs from other processes in several important ways, which will be explained in this article. EBW has unique abilities for welding dissimilar metals, complex or curved components and precision parts. Advantages The main advantages of electron beam welding are: High weld strength Fast cycle time Little to no distortion Consistent weld quality Small heat

The Electron Beam Welding Process Explained

Electron Beam Welding (EBW) and Laser Beam Welding (LBW) and are both fusion welding techniques that use a high energy density beam to melt the joint of two components. Both methods have fast cycle times and produce high weld quality. They are similar and can be used side-by-side in some circumstances, but they are not identical. What Is Laser Welding? Laser Beam Welding uses a concentrated beam of light to
