The American Welding Society, DVS (German Welding Society), and The International Institute of Welding are organizing their first International Electron Beam Welding Conference. This event will be held in conjunction with the Fabtech International & AWS Welding Show. It will include a two-day technical program plus a half-day tutorial sponsored by the Pro-beam foundation. IEBW will bring together scientists, engineers and technical personnel from around the globe involved in the research, development, and application of electron beam welding processes.
Conference Program
- Welcome Address
- 9:00 AM – 9:15 AM
- Keynote IIW - EBW Technology Overviews Commission IV Business Plan
- 9:15 AM – 9:45 AM
- Ernest Levert, Chairman IIW Commission IV – Power Beam Processes, Lockheed Martin Corporation (USA)
- Keynote Europe: Europe Business Developments - Current Development of the Electron Beam Technology in Europe
- 9:45 AM – 10:15 AM
- Dr. Phil Thorsten Löwer, pro-beam AG & Co. KGaA (Germany)
- The number of producers of electron beam equipment in the world is the highest in Europe. Today, there are CVE in Great Britain; SAF and Techmeta in France; and AWT, pro-beam and Focus in Germany. The concurrence situation in Europe stimulated development work so that nowadays the different firms can offer a large variety of equipment specialized on each application. Due to this situation, the equipment from European sellers takes the highest share in all equipment worldwide.
A typical classification of electron beam machines is made by dividing them into low-voltage and high-voltage machines. 60kV machines for simple applications are available for low prices as well as for high production, highly automated applications, or in combination with other processes as a complete production cell. 150kV equipment is used as very flexible equipment, for highly sophisticated applications or on very sensitive products, for example in space and aircraft industry.
The revival of deep penetration welding that more and more is applied in heavy industry, thanks to new capabilities of EB-equipment, will also be reported.
