Electron Beam Welding

SWI’s Electron Beam Welding process yields the highest purity weld available within a precise, targeted heat zone. A beam of high-velocity electrons impinges on the welding joint of two materials. Upon impact, the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. The focused beam delivers thermal energy that melts the parent material and then re-solidifies once the beam passes. SWI’s experience welding in this high vacuum environment delivers quality results.
