Electron beam welding (EBW) is a specialist metal joining technique used to create high integrity joints with minimal distortion.
Benefits
-Low heat input for the welded parts;
-Minimal distortion;
-Narrow melt zone (MZ) and narrow heat affected zone (HAZ);
-Deep weld penetration from 0.05 mm to 200 mm (0.002” to 8”) in single pass;
-High welding speed;
-Welding of all metals even with high thermal conductivity;
-Welding of metals with dissimilar melting points;
-Vacuum process yields in clean and reproducible environment;
-Natural welding process for oxygen greedy materials such as titanium, zirconium and niobium;
-Machine process guaranteed for reliability and reproducibility of the operating conditions;
-Cost-effective welding process for large production in automatic mode; and
-Parts can mostly be used in the as welded condition – no sub-machining required.
