New horizons in electron beam welding

Abstract

THE first electron beam welder to be used in British airline maintenance is being installed at the Glamorgan plant of BOAC Engine Overhaul Ltd. The electron beam joins components without the distortion usual with conventional welding so it will be particularly appropriate applied in the re‐acrofoiling of jet engine stator blades. To accommodate a blade and its necessary fixtures, the suppliers, Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Ltd, have custom built the work chamber of the Dynaweld 6000, ensuring a complete welding cycle of only a few seconds.
