Existing analytical methods for calculating electron-beam welding modes, which provide welds with required penetration depth, are described, and main disadvantages of these methods are shown. A new calculation method based on a model of moving cylindrical heat source, which involves moving of a cylinder with constant surface temperature in an infinite plate, is proposed. The proposed calculation method takes into account energy losses during metal melting and its partial evaporation. A comparison of experimental and calculated data obtained using the developed method and existing methods, is presented. Plates with a thickness of 32 mm from 5V titanium alloy, 27 mm from 40 Khl3 steel and 20 mm from D16 duralumin were used for experiments. It was shown that the developed method application made it possible to calculate with appropriate accuracy a required beam power during EBW of various materials.
