From Joining Technologies / Laser Joining Technology
Micro-joining techniques employing electron beam energy sources may be one of the most under utilized joining process in industry today. The unapprised engineer may never fully exploit its full potential because of the introduction of alternate beam energies. The electron beam process for welding and joining purposes has been in existence for more than forty years. There have been numerous micro-joining miracles performed by private industry, jobshops and government labs throughout North America. It fact, weapons and space exploration programs relied on electron beam welding (EBW) processes when there were no alternative solutions. The highlight of this technical discussion is to revisit the opportunities and limitations the electron beam welding process offers manufacturing and R&D. We will expose some of the unique applications utilized in industry and ongoing development.
