Our laboratory utilizes an Electron Beam Welding Machine (EBWM) (chamber diameter 600 mm, 50kV/1500W gun) and a desk-top EBWM (chamber diameter 230 mm, 50kV/500W or 50kV/1500W guns). We can do standard weld joints for vacuum and high vacuum systems and parts, and we can join materials with considerably different metallurgical properties, e.g. stainless steel-Al, stainless steel-Cu, Ti-Al. Our research covers next fields:

Electron Beam Welding of Dissimilar Metals

Redistribution of Carbon and Nitrogen in Weld Joints

Construction of an Electron Beam Welding Machine

High Voltage Power Supply

Television System for an Electron Beam Welding Machine
