The Benefits of EB Welding
- Receive the maximum amount of weld penetration with the least amount of heat input, resulting in reducing distortion
- EB Welding often reduces the need for secondary operations
- Highly repeatable through digital control and frozen processes
- A cleaner, stronger, and homogeneous weld is produced in a vacuum
- The electron beam machine’s vacuum environment eliminates atmospheric contaminants in the weld
- Exotic alloys and dissimilar materials can be welded
- Extreme precision due to CNC programming and magnification of operator viewing
- Electron Beam Welding frequently yields a 0% scrap rate
- The electron beam process can be used for salvage and repair of new and used components
The Limitations of EB Welding
- Evacuation time – creation of vacuum environment – EBTEC remediates this with high pump down speeds and greater part densities with tooling into each cycle
- High Capital Costs – with 11 electron beam machines on premise, EBTEC mitigates that Capital Expense to place equipment within your facility
- Work Chamber size restraints – with 11 machines varying from 1 cubic-foot to 1404 cubic-feet, EBTEC has a machine that fits your specific needs.
