METAL WELDING BY ELECTRON BEAM

Abstract

A study was made of welding by electron beam in a vacuum. The essential components for electron beam welding include the electron gun, the vacuum chamber in which the welding takes place, the system of clamping and shifting the parts being welded, and the system of electric power supply and control. Welding of electron beam is suitable for welded seams of the butt, overlap, angular, rivet, and other types. Materials of varied thicknesses may also be welded by this method.
