Defence manufacturing requires welds of the highest integrity in demanding materials, where reliability and 100% defect-free seams are essential. Electron Beam Welding (EBW) delivers deep penetration, narrow welds and exceptionally low distortion across components from small and simple to large and complex.
Performed in a high vacuum, EBW protects reactive alloys from oxidation and produces repeatable, high-precision joints. Mechanical properties can be tailored with wire-feed additions, making the process well suited to high-strength aluminium, titanium and specialist alloys used throughout the sector.
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 armour and munitions through to titanium airframe and propulsion parts and precision sub-assemblies, EBW supports defence manufacture and repair across a wide range of materials and components.
