THIS CAPABILITY PROVIDES CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX DESIGNS
CAPABILITIES
ELECTRON BEAM WELDING
This piece of equipment provides designers with the flexibility to
join several pieces of metal into a single monolithic structure with
considerable strength and precise tolerances. The joining of
components by the Electron Beam welding process eliminates
fasteners, saves significant structural weight, speeds assembly
time, and reduces costs.
THE PART ON THE RIGHT INITIALLY WAS
CONCEIVED AS A MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY
REQUIRING NUMEROUS FASTENERS &
OVERLAPPING JOINTS WHICH ADDED WEIGHT
AND ASSEMBLY TIME. STADCO PROVIDED AN
EB WELDED SOLUTION WHICH DRASTICALLY
REDUCED THE WEIGHT OF THE FINISHED PART
& ALSO REDUCED THE COST.
