EBTEC understands the uncompromising demands made on the exotic metals, alloys and composites developed for advanced weapon systems. Components made from these materials often are difficult to process conventionally. EBTEC's high energy beam processes overcome these difficulties and provide cost-effective methods of manufacturing.
Components operating in marine environments must perform despite continued exposure to extremes of temperature and humidity. EBTEC's processes enable parts to be manufactured from specialized materials, dissimilar metals, or to be fully encapsulated so they can operate reliably in marine applications.
Electron Beam Welding
EB welding creates deep, high strength joints that typically require no additional finishing. The ability to weld many of the corrosion resistant materials makes this process ideal for marine and other applications including:
• Bearing housings
• Hydraulic solenoid housings
• Radar panels
• Detonation devices
• Flow-monitoring devices
• Marine propellers
• Encapsulated electronics
• Billets made of titanium and other exotic metals
• Military ordnance
• Marine pump components
