E-Beam Solutions

Production Engineering thru our relationship with Sciaky offers the widest range of EB welding systems in the world

Electron Beam (EB) Welding is an excellent choice for applications containing refractory alloys and dissimilar materials. Advantages of EB Welding technology include a high power density with very low overall heat input and, therefore, minimum distortion. EB welded parts require a minimum of post-weld machining and heat treatment, and, unlike other fusion welding processes, EB requires no shielding gases. The weld quality is exceptional and the process is extremely efficient (typically 95%), carefully controlled and fully automated.

EB Welding technology offers the following advantages:

  • Versatility to weld thin foils to thick sections (greater than 2.5" depth-of penetration)
  • Multi-axis EB control
  • High ratio of depth-to-width
  • Maximum penetration with minimal distortion
  • Exceptional weld strength
  • Inert atmosphere (vacuum)
  • High precision and repeatability with virtually 0% scrap

Sciaky has been at the forefront of EB welding system design and manufacturing for many decades. We have proudly built a reputation as EB experts based on hard work and innovation. Sciaky’s internal moving EB welding gun is the most versatile EB welding gun in the market. The multi-axis gun motion operates at half the chamber volume of fixed/external gun systems, provides beam access for unusual joint configurations, and significantly simplifies part tooling.

Here are some examples of parts welded using Sciaky's EB technology:

  • Superconducting Cavities for High Energy Physics
  • Aircraft Engine Cases & Assemblies
  • Military Aircraft Components & Structures
  • Rock-bit Assemblies & Tank Tubes for Petroleum/Mining Diaphragm Assemblies for Power Generation
  • Transmission Gears for Automobiles, Trucks, and Off-Highway Vehicles
