INTRODUCTION :

EBW :
Fusion Welding Process in which a
beam of
high velocity electrons is
applied to materials
being joined.
Kinetic energy of electrons is
transformed in to Heat Energy.
Work pieces melt due to heat and
joining occurs.
Molten metal will flow to fill the gap.

DIAGRAM :

WORKING :
Current is given to cathode in vacuum
chamber and heated up to 2000 C.
So, electrons are emitted and will be
attracted towards anode.
Electrons are accelerated due to
potential between anode and cathode.
Electrons will pass through the hole and
form a beam of high intensity.

Electron beam having High Power Density can be

controlled by focusing coil.
Electron beam will struck on work piece with high
velocity and produce heat energy.
So, metal will meltdown and molten liquid metal
will flow in the gap.
Thus , welding is performed and metals can be
joined.

STEPS USED IN EBW

PROCESS :
Joint Preparation
Cleaning of work pieces
Fixturing of work pieces
De-magnetization of work pieces
Setting up work pieces in chamber
Pump down air from chamber
Carry welding process

ADVANTAGES :
It is high quality welding.
Very less defective because electron
beam covers sharp area on metal which is
being heated.
Welding on reactive metal can be done
easily in vacuum chamber.
Butt joint process can be done without
edge preparation in pieces having width
up to 6 mm.

DISADVANTAGES :
Primary costs are high.
Transportation of equipments are not easy.
Vacuum is required every time in chamber.
Skilled persons are needed for process.
Space in chamber is very small so cant
useful for larger piece.
Manipulation of work piece needs special
care & instruments in chamber.
Electron beam flows in straight line so if
obstacle comes then welding will stop.

APPLICATION :
Welding of reactive and refractory metal.
For welding of two different metals like
steel, copper, titenium etc.
Automobile and aircraft

CONCLUSION :
So, we can conclude that Electron Beam
Welding is very useful in which correctness
and accuracy is required and most of
commercial application it is wildly used.
