Electron Beam Welding Machine

An automated welding process that sends highly accelerated electrons into the workpiece vaporizing a small focal cylinder to a depth of up to 8 in (20cm), melting the adjacent material. high vapor forces push material to the side, producing a key hole. as the beam advances the molten material surrounding the key hole flows to the rear and solidifies, creating an extremely narrow weld seam. consisting of an electron beam gun, work chamber, workpiece manipulator, vacuum systems for gun and work chamber, power supply and controller. may include optical viewer.
