The Benefits of EB Welding 

  • Receive the maximum amount of weld penetration with the least amount of heat input, resulting in reducing distortion
  • EB Welding often reduces the need for secondary operations
  • Highly repeatable through digital control and frozen processes
  • A cleaner, stronger, and homogeneous weld is produced in a vacuum
  • The electron beam machine’s vacuum environment eliminates atmospheric contaminants in the weld
  • Exotic alloys and dissimilar materials can be welded
  • Extreme precision due to CNC programming and magnification of operator viewing
  • Electron Beam Welding frequently yields a 0% scrap rate
  • The electron beam process can be used for salvage and repair of new and used components

The Limitations of EB Welding 

  • Evacuation time – creation of vacuum environment – EBTEC remediates this with high pump down speeds and greater part densities with tooling into each cycle
  • High Capital Costs – with 11 electron beam machines on premise, EBTEC mitigates that Capital Expense to place equipment within your facility
  • Work Chamber size restraints – with 11 machines varying from 1 cubic-foot to 1404 cubic-feet, EBTEC has a machine that fits your specific needs.
