Electron beam welding is a process of welding through electron beam. The beam contains charged electrons that penetrate the product at very high temperature. The high temperature melts the product and the welding process starts. It is an application where products are of high value and very precise welding is required.

Depending on the operating pressure, there are three methods of electron beam welding: electron beam welding in hard vacuum, electron beam welding in soft vacuum and electron beam welding in atmospheric pressure. The vacuum or the pressure is created by the electron beam welding machine.

Some important parameters you must consider before you buy an electron beam welder are:

1. The type of metal for which you require the electron beam welder
2. Required dimensional precision or finishing
   
3. The dimensions of the weld
4. Power consumption of the electron beam welder equipment

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy an electron beam welder from reliable electron beam welder manufacturers

Once you understand your welding requirements, check out the electron beam welding machines available in the market.

I recommend: Sciaky, Inc.,a welding machine manufacturer, offers electron beam welding machines that work on the new electron beam free form fabrication technology. You can buy electron beam welding machines at Cambridge Vacuum Engineering, a manufacturer of different types of electron beam welders in a range of 60kV to 150kV.

Buy used electron beam welding equipment from the various electron beam welding equipment suppliers

If finance is the problem or you feel that a used electron beam welder can serve the purpose, then you can go to a specific electron beam welding equipment supplier to buy the used machine.

I recommend: You can buy electron beam welding equipment and used electron beam welding machine at PTR Precision Technologies, an electron beam welding equipment supplier that provides various types of electron beam welding equipment. You can also buy electron beam welding supplies and used electron beam welding machinery at Electron Beam Engineering, a supplier of different types of used electron beam welding machines and equipment.

Evaluate electron beam welding services offered by reliable service providers

For your electron beam welding requirements, evaluate the electron beam welder services by reputable machining service providers.

I recommend: You can get the product manufactured or repaired at SWS-Trimac, Inc, an electron beam welding machine manufacturer and a contract manufacturer that designs, develops and repairs products. If you have some specialized welding jobs, then you can get it done on an electron beam welding machine at EBTEC Corporation. If you are looking for military and industrial standard jobs, with high quantity, then electron beam welders from Electron Beam Industries can do the needful.
