TIG / EB welding of case sections
TIG / EB welding of case sections capability for titanium components
What is TIG / EB welding of case sections?
TIG / EB welding of case sections capability for titanium components
Certified welding capability for TIG / EB welding of case sections, with full inert gas shielding, weld procedure qualification, and operator certification.
Engineering Parameters & Capabilities
Electron beam welding of titanium in vacuum produces deep, narrow welds with minimal distortion. Single-pass welds up to 100 mm thickness without filler metal are specifically for watch cases. Precision watch cases for watchmaking and consumer markets present unique challenges: cosmetic surface finish (mirror polish, brush, or bead blast) with sub-mm feature detail, and material traceability from mill to finished case.
| Parameter | Primary Method | Alternative Method |
|---|---|---|
| Penetration | Up to 100 mm single-pass | Up to 12 mm (laser welding) |
Engineering Capabilities & Limits
Certified welding capability for TIG / EB welding of case sections, with full inert gas shielding, weld procedure qualification, and operator certification.
Hole Types Supported
Heat Control Measures
Minimal heat generation due to fine finishing passes. Air blast for chip clearing is sufficient; coolant is not required for cosmetic finishing passes.
Flatness & Stress Relief
Zero atmospheric contamination. Fixture maintains alignment under vacuum.
Tolerance
+0.01 mm (case diameter) / +0.005 mm (crystal seat)
Typical Applications & Components
This process is used to manufacture the following titanium components.
