No longer confined to vacuum chambers, Plasma Arc Window electron-beam welders could produce high quality welds on large structures such as airplanes and ships. Those considering electron-beam welding ...

In the manufacture of heat exchanger components for aircraft, it was found that using the pulsed TIG method to weld the inlet and return manifolds was giving excessive porosity. Consequently an ...

In-space manufacturing is a big challenge, even with many of the same manufacturing methods being available as on the ground. These methods include rivets, bolts, but also welding, the latter of which ...

Considering electron beam welding? Get ready to evaluate a process innovation designed to deliver high quality without dependence on a vacuum chamber. (As with traditional electron beam methods, the ...

The electron beam welding process is commonly misunderstood to be a process applicable only to exotic materials and exotic applications. Recent developments in the electron beam process, such as the ...

A high-power (120kV, 60kW) electron-beam welding system has been developed for the first time in the country, paving the way to the domestic production of a local vacuum** high-power electron-beam ...
