Innovatives Elektronenstrahlschweißen hochschmelzender Metalle

Innovative electron‐beam welding of high‐melting metals Since its establishment as nuclear research plant Juelich in the year 1956, the research centre Juelich (FZJ) is concerned with the material processing of special metals. Among those are, above all, the high‐melting refractory metals niobium, molybdenum and tungsten. Electron beam welding has always been considered to be an innovative special welding method; in the FZJ, electron beam welding has, moreover, always been adapted to the increasing demands made by research partners and involved manufacturing and design sectors. From the manual equipment technology right up to highly modern multi‐beam technique, the technically feasible for fundamental research has, this way, always been realised.
