The Electron Beam Welding Process

   Electron beam (EB) welding continuously joins dissimilar precious and non-precious metals of varying thicknesses, temper and tensile strength, conductivity, and more. This process allow the joining of metal with different metallurgical properties, reduces material and labor costs through a one-piece system and eliminates scrap loss inherent in the milling and skiving processes. EB welding can also be used to selectively zone anneal a narrow zone along the length of the coil.

The EB Welding Advantage

• Improved productivity by eliminating welding (or other joining method) of two or more stamped parts through the use of pre-welded strip
• Widest range of metal combinations
     Different properties
     Different metals/alloys
     Different thicknesses
     Different conductivities
  
• Precious/non-precious
• Magnetic/non-magnetic
• Different coating
• High expansion/low expansion
