This is a Member only event, specifically for members of the Sheffield, Leeds and East Midlands branches. Other members may be able to attend should spaces become available.
Overview: Electron beams are a versatile and controllable heat source which are known for making very narrow, high integrity welds for the assembly of aero turbine engines, automotive turbochargers and similar products. Using very similar equipment it’s possible to join thin and very thick sections. From thin foils right up to heavy section structures for the power industry, the process can deliver fantastic single pass productivity. Mike will cover conventional in chamber EB welding and processing, as well as the growing focus of research to allow EB welding to escape the constraints of the vacuum chamber and address large structures.
Speaker: Mike Nunn
