  Electron beam welding
 
 


Principle :

In a VACUUM CHAMBER an accelerating voltage of about 20 to 150 kV projects the electrons at a very high speed to an impact point : the freed cinetical energy causes the fusion of the metal without addition of any additional metal.
Welding performed in vacuum : absence of oxidation.
" Machine " processing : perfect reliability and repeatibility of the welds from one part to the other without intervention of the operator.
Proceeding well adapted for Quality Inspection in production.
Very high specific power : 10 8 W/cm2.

Characteristics of the welds :

Thin welds / melted zone and heat affected zone with parallel edges.

Little shrinkage of the weld with minimum deformation.

Welding of thick materials in a single pass :

- Steel up to 200 mm,
- Aluminum up to 300 mm.

High welding speed : up to 15 m/mn.

Welding of metals difficult to weld :
refractory metals, faintly allied, with high thermal conductivity.
Welding of Copper, " Super alloys ", Tantalum, Titanium, Molybdenum etc…

It is possible to obtain without retouch a precision part by welding together two precision parts.
