FAQ EB Welding 4 Plates Together to Form a Box

 "IS IT POSSIBLE TO WELD 4 PLATES, 60mm THICKNESS EACH, TOGETHER TO FORM A RECTANGULAR BOX USING ELECTRON BEAM WELDING?"
Yes, it is possible to electron beam weld 4 plates together to form a rectangular box. EB welded corner joints are typically achieved using one of the three configurations seen below. Electron beam welding is used in this application for reasons such as: low distortion, providing a hermetic seal, low heat input, welding adjacent to electronic components or rubber seals or simply for minimizing raw material requirements.
