Electron Beam Welding
Electron Beam Welding is a high energy density welding method. The main advantages with the method are listed below.
The design requirements may often vary from one area of a component to another. Therefore, instead of producing a component out of only one piece of material, it may be more cost effective to electron beam weld high grade materials into the most critical areas of a particular component.
- low heat input and low distortion
- welding with large differences in thickness
- thick parts in one pass
- high welding speed
- welding 'unweldable' and dissimilar metals
- gives high quality and good reproducibility
- no contamination
- accuracy and repeatability
