Electron Beam Welding
The above mentioned specific advantages of electron beam heating find the widest use in welding applications. Since the beginning of electron beam welding in industrial scale (end of 1950s) a countless number of electron beam welders with working vacuum chambers volume ranging from a few liters up to hundreds cubic meters, provided with electron guns with the power up to 100 kW have been designed and are used world wide.

Famous quotes containing the word beam:
“It was at that moment, just after Krug had fallen through the bottom of a confused dream and sat up on the straw with a gasp—and just before his reality, his remembered hideous misfortune could pounce upon him—it was then that I felt a pang of pity for Adam and slid towards him along an inclined beam of pale light—causing instantaneous madness, but at least saving him from the senseless agony of his logical fate.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
