Abstract
The paper presents the energy properties of the electron beams as heat sources in welding. Possibility of welding structures of steel with up to 150 mm wall thickness, of alloys of aluminium (up to 250 mm) and titanium (up to 200 mm) is demonstrated. Features of thermal cycles of the metal of welds and HAZ and welded joint deformations are pointed out. Equipment is recommended for shop sections, where EBW of various items is performed. The main technological operations are described, which provide the high quality of welds.
Keywords: electron beam welding, physical fundamentals, structural material, weldability, welding technology, welded structures
