electron beam welding
Electron beam welding is a precise welding technique that uses a focused beam of high-energy electrons to join materials together. The electrons are generated in a vacuum and directed onto the workpieces, creating intense heat that melts the metal at the joint. This method is particularly effective for welding thin sections and dissimilar materials.
One of the key advantages of electron beam welding is its ability to produce deep welds with minimal distortion. The process occurs in a vacuum, which prevents oxidation and contamination, ensuring high-quality welds. This makes it suitable for applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.
