	Reduced Pressure Electron Beam Welding

Conventionally, electron beam welding requires components to be wholly contained in a vacuum environment. This can introduce a cost and time penalty and often precludes work requiring welding in-situ or almost continuous operation. Though In-Air vacuum processes have been developed in the automotive industry to rapidly weld thin section steels the techniques are of limited scalability and suitability. Cambridge Vacuum Engineering under licence from the internationally renowned TWI are now able to offer a solution that allows the welding of thicker materials and a wider variety

Electron Beam thick •.I'ltio- '.vHdinj; usually needs to I air place at around 5x 10"³ bar. Reduced Pressure Electron Beam Welding (RPEBW) has been demonstrated to weld up to 200mm in steel and light alloy, at pressures ranging from 10 ¹ to 10 mbar. Coupled with techniques to rapidly make clamp-on chambers and seal both external and internal diameters of circular structures, RPEBW Is a valuable production tool.
