Welding: Electron Beam, Laser, & Laser Hermetic Sealing

Electron Beam Welding can create joints that other processes cannot. Whether it is welding difficult material combinations together, or precisely placing welds within proximity of heat sensitive components, or simply creating the strongest possible welds from 0.005” to 3.0” penetration with a 20:1 depth-to-width ratio. Welding in high vacuum conditions result in high weld purity and strength. High energy density and precision beam placement provides for small heat affected areas. CNC controlled welders insure precise control and repeatability at feed rates from 1 to 200” per minute.

MATERIALS WELDED

• Titanium
• Inconel
• Aluminum
• Dissimilar Metal Combinations

Laser Welding is cost effective and fast. It is excellent for applications involving miniature components that require precise placement.
