Electron Beam Techniques for Fabrication Assembly of Parts for Electron Tubes

摘要

The objectives of the program are to: (1) evaluate the feasibility of production electron beam welding and machining of typical electron tube materials; (2) apply electron beam processing to fabrication of two specific electron tube types; test these tube types to determine the advantages obtained from the use of this technique. Initial modification of joint configurations as designed for electron beam welding are discussed. Definition of the production welding facility and a tentative production welding schedule are presented.
