An Electron Beam is a versatile tool
whose effect is primarily based on a
short-duration, localized input of heat
into a substrate material. An important
advantage of electron beam welding is the
ability to be able to weld materials down
to considerable depths: although strongly
absorbed by the material, the electron
beam is able to penetrate deep into the
material due to the deep-weld effect. This
makes this technique an ideal tool for
joining combinations of materials.
