Joining Technologies News: Electron Beam Welding (1775 words) |
 | Electron beam welding is a phenomena that is thoroughly understood by scientists and engineers that have studied the process in the research lab, but very little information is published for those of us that want to know more about the welding process performed with electron beam energy. |
| The focused beam of electrons is directed at a targeted location on the weld joint at which point the kinetic energy of the electrons is converted to thermal energy. |
| Beam Deflection - The movement of the electron beam by the electromagnetic coils or by undesirable magnetic or electrical fields. |
| Beam Welding and Thermit Welding (1824 words) |
| Electron beam welding (EBW) is a welding process which produces coalescence of metals with the heat obtained from a concentrated beam composed primarily of high-velocity electrons impinging upon the surfaces to be joined. |
| When using the laser beam for welding the electromagnetic radiation impinges on the surface of the base metal with such a concentration of energy that the temperature of the surface is melted and volatilized. |
| The welding characteristics of the laser and of the electron beam are similar. |
