Abstract:Electron beam (EB) welding is a keyhole welding process in which the kinetic energy of focused electrons is converted into the heat required for welding. When a full penetration weld is achieved in keyhole EB welding, a small part of the electrons from the electron beam pass through the workpiece via the open keyhole at the root side of the weld. These electrons provide a charge whose current value can be measured, namely, the through-current. The aim of this study was to develop and build a control system int… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
