Introduction
The principles of electron beam generation and control were discussed in
the early 1900's and by 1930 these principles had been used to construct
electron microscopes.
In the 1950's the use of electron beams for welding was made a
commercial reality and the process was developed over the following
decade into a very useful joining process

Electron Beam Welding
Modes of operation
The earliest electron beam systems operated with a working chamber
vacuum of 10-3 torr but recent developments have allowed the workpiece
to be held under less vacuum or even at atmospheric pressure.
In all cases the electron gun is operated under high vacuum but a series of
seals and differential pressure enclosures is used to enable the work piece
to be at a higher pressure than the gun. There are currently three main
operating modes:
- high vacuum (10-3 or less)
- medium vacuum
- non vacuum

Equipment
The EBW system consists of:
- an electron gun and beam delivery system
