Electron Beam Welding Process

Electron beam welding ebw is another focused beam welding process.

Electron beam welding process.

Electron beam welding is used to melt and join base materials. However when welding at a max. Thus the electron beam can carry high. This high speed stream of electrons is tightly focused using magnetic fields and applied to the materials to be joined.

Using magnetic lenses by which the beam can be shaped into a narrow cone and focused to a very. Deeper penetrations allow for a larger gap threshold. The beam of electrons creates kinetic heat as it impacts with the workpieces causing them to melt and bond together. Working of electron beam welding process in electron beam welding the electron is produced by the cathode of the electron gun.

Strong electric fields which can accelerate electrons to a very high speed. The pd in watts per unit area is obtained by the following equation. Electron beam welding provides excellent welding conditions because it involves. The power density pd defines the process s ability to develop enough heat for welding.

Because the welding is characterized by a small spot with minimal heat effects couplings with no gaps are ideal. In electron beam welding the kinetic energy of the electrons is converted into heat as they strike the workpiece. The process develops energy by bombarding the work piece with a focused beam of high velocity electrons. Because of the high voltage applied across the cathode and anode.

Electron beam eb welding is a fusion welding process whereby electrons are generated by an electron gun and accelerated to high speeds using electrical fields. The electron beam eb welding process is used in a variety of industries. Penetration depth of 3 to 5 mm gaps of up to 0 1 mm are generally allowed. Applications range from fully automated high productivity and low cost automotive in line part production to single part batch processes in the high cost aircraft engine industry at the other end of the industrial spectrum.
