• Micro-Joining With Electron Beam Energy (.pdf)
  for welding fuel elements for the. nuclear industry. Prior to this time, Steigerwald (in Germany) had been. experimenting with electron beam for machining (e.g., drilling and. cutting) purposes. Carl Zeiss, another German scientist also. contributed to the promotion of electron welding and was the first...
• Welding: Butt Joint (.pdf)
  preparation and the use of filler wire. Both the laser and the electron beam, on the other hand, can butt weld very thick pieces, up to 30 cm for the electron beam. Untitled Document. BUTT JOINTS...
• New from the Fab Labs: Lightweight but Superstrong Parts
  light, and parts might fail. Hold on to your hat. A new technology fabricates components that are strong and lightweight. Called electron beam melting (EBM), the technique shoots electrons moving at half the speed of light onto powdered metal to melt and weld the material, one layer at a time...
• Laser Cutting of Tungsten
  but in its purest. form, it is commonly used in electronics. applications ­ for example as interconnect. material in integrator circuits, electron emitters. and light bulb filaments. Set-up: Laser: SPI 200W water cooled Fiber Laser. Machining head: Laser Mechanisms, Finekerf. Focal length: 50 mm, X2 beam...
• Rapid 2009 Showcases the Latest in Direct Digital Manufacturing
  is called a "tree," an arbitrarily complex lattice. "The size of an STL file for a 3.5-m-tall tree would exceed 1,000 Gbytes. In our software, the file would be just 1.7 Gbytes," says Netfabb Business Development Manager Ulf Lindhe. , makes machines that use an electron beam to melt metal powder layer...
• Seeing In Nanometers: Laser And Gratings Make Tiny Motions Visible To Human Eye
  Engineers at Sandia National Labs have invented a small handheld device that lets the human eye detect movements on the order of 10 nm. A scanning electron micrograph of the motion detector shows the top grating layer suspended by four springs and actuated by two sidecomb drives. The second, fixed...
• MICRO:Product Technology News (Jan '2000)
  analysis of electron and ion densities, plasma potential, and electron temperature and energy distribution enables run-to-run conformity under diverse pressure, gas-composition, and power/impedance conditions.

• Zirconium
  ) method, but other methods can also be used, including gas metal-arc (GMAW), plasma-arc, electron-beam, and resistance welding. Welding zirconium requires proper shielding because of the metal's reactivity to gases at welding temperatures. Welding without proper shielding (argon or helium) causes...
• A Hierachical Initation Mechanism Approach to Modeling Fatigue Life Variability in 35CO-35NI-10MO Alloy Medical Grade Fine Wire (.pdf)
  at broadband pace while I travailed in mastering but one feat. iii. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. I would like to thank Professor Eric Stach, whose knowledge in analytical electron. beam techniques are second to none, for his invaluable tips on SEM methods. I. would also like to thank Professor Benjamin Hillberry...
