Multi-Electron Beam Welding
Electron beam multi-welding is a technical method for processing several weld spots simultaneously or sequentially via beam deflection. It enables higher productivity and precision.
Physical-chemical mechanism of action
Electron beam multi-welding uses a high-performance electron beam facility that generates a powerful electron beam. The beam is aimed at several joints via a complex deflection system, allowing welding processes to be carried out simultaneously or sequentially.
Metallurgical relevance & risks during welding
This technique offers advantages in the hardness and accuracy of the weld. However, it can also lead to complexities, especially in controlling the deflection system and setting the beam parameters. Incorrect settings can cause uneven heating or missed welds.
Workshop practice & instructions
To use electron beam multi-welding successfully, careful planning and calibration of the deflection system are required. The beam parameters such as voltage, current, and beam duration must be precisely set. It is also important that the operator positions the joints accurately and prepares the weld material correctly. For complex tasks, several trials should be carried out to find the optimal settings.
