The shift to electric vehicles depends on fast, reliable joining of battery, motor and power-electronics components, often in copper and aluminium. Electron Beam Welding (EBW) delivers deep penetration, precise control and exceptionally low distortion at high speed.
Performed in a high vacuum, EBW produces clean, high-conductivity joints in highly reflective and dissimilar metals that are difficult to weld by other processes. With engines expected to require millions of battery units and thousands of welds each, EBW offers the throughput and quality manufacturers need.
Fabricated using electron beam welding to join the many blade sections together results in a precise, repeatable weld. Titanium is perfectly suited to the electron beam welding process as it is done in a vacuum to avoid oxidation.
This extremely complex assembly is fabricated from several relatively simple components. There are not many other welding processes that you could successfully employ for this type of product. The part requires linear, circumferential, and planetary welds during successive operations.
This major rotating component demands welds of high integrity, in 901 nickel. Fabrication by electron beam welding achieves savings in weight, material, and machining costs.
From battery cells and modules through to motors, inverters and charging systems, EBW supports the high-volume welding behind vehicle electrification.
