High Power Electron‐beam Welding

Abstract

The world's most powerful electron‐beam welding facility was officially commissioned in September, providing 75 k\V of beam power in a vacuum chamber measuring 7 × 3.6 × 3.6m. Single pass welds in steel up to 200m thick may be produced at high speed and prototype fabrications may be welded in the large chamber using numerically controlled manipulating equipment.
