Core Advantages:
- High energy efficiency and low deformation: The electron beam has a high power density and extremely low heat input, which significantly reduces welding deformation. It is suitable for welding ultra - thin materials (such as 0.1 - mm foils) to ultra - thick workpieces (such as 300 - mm metal plates).
- Wide material adaptability: It can weld refractory metals (such as tungsten and molybdenum), active metals (such as titanium and zirconium), dissimilar materials and precision components without adding welding materials, thus maintaining the purity of the welds.
- High automation level: It supports multi - axis control and can be combined with an automation system to achieve unmanned production, with a scrap rate close to 0% and a production efficiency of up to 95%.
Application Areas:
In the aerospace field, it is used for high - strength components such as engine blades and turbine disks; in nuclear energy engineering, it is used for the sealing welding of nuclear reactor vessels; in the automotive industry, it is used for the mass production of complex parts such as gears and drive shafts.
Laser welding is a non - contact high - energy beam welding technology that uses a focused laser beam to instantaneously heat materials to achieve fusion. Its energy density can reach 10⁶ - 10¹⁰ W/cm², featuring concentrated heat input, narrow and uniform welds.
Core Advantages:
- Fast and efficient: The welding speed far exceeds traditional methods, making it suitable for thin plates and highly reflective materials (such as aluminum and copper).
- Flexible process: It supports hand - held, automated or robot - collaborative operations, and is suitable for welding complex structures such as curved surfaces and micro - holes.
- Wide applicability: It can connect various materials such as metals, plastics and ceramics, and is applied to high - precision scenarios such as electronic components and battery packaging.
3. Automatic Welding Systems
Automatic welding systems optimize the welding process through intelligent control technology, reduce manual intervention, and ensure process consistency. A typical configuration includes a robotic arm, an intelligent welding gun and a real - time monitoring module, which can be compatible with multi - brand equipment.
Core Advantages:
- High stability: It reduces human errors in manual welding and improves the strength and appearance consistency of welds.
- Controllable cost: Through automation, it reduces material waste and labor costs, and is suitable for mass - production fields such as automotive parts and household appliances.
Technology Development Trends
Electron beam welding and laser welding technologies are developing towards higher precision and lower energy consumption. For example, systems compatible with both vacuum and non - vacuum environments are being developed, and online detection technologies combined with artificial intelligence are emerging. At the same time, automatic welding systems optimize production management through the Internet of Things and big data, promoting the intelligent upgrade of the manufacturing industry.
