Electron Beam (EB) Welding is an excellent choice for applications containing refractory alloys and dissimilar materials. Advantages of EB Welding technology include a high power density with very low overall heat input and, therefore, minimum distortion. EB welded parts require a minimum of post-weld machining and heat treatment, and, unlike other fusion welding processes, EB requires no shielding gases. The weld quality is exceptional and the process is extremely efficient (typically 95%), carefully controlled and fully automated.

All of our systems combine computer-aided design (CAD), electron beam directed energy deposition, and layer-additive processing. Starting with a 3D model from a CAD program, Sciaky's electron beam (EB) gun deposits metal (via wire feedstock) in successive layers until the part reaches near-net shape. Each system’s vacuum chamber ensures the highest part integrity, while the EB gun maximizes material deposition rates by a range of 7 to 40 lbs. (3.18 to 18.14 kg) of metal per hour, which is the fastest and most efficient metal deposition process on the market. In addition, many EBAM systems offer dual wirefeed arrangements to increase deposition efficiency, as well as to simplify the process of switching to different deposition materials. Minor finish machining is required after the part reaches near-net shape.

As a leading provider of electron beam (EB) welding systems, Sciaky maintains a substantial inventory of spare parts on-site.
