Electron movement
Figures
1. Level of vacuum within the gun is in the order of 10-4 to 10-6 Torr. {1 Torr = 1mm of Hg} 2. Pulse duration of as low as 50 s to as long as 15 ms. 3. Beam current is directly related to the number of electrons emitted by the cathode or available in the beam. Beam current can be as low as 200 amp to 1 amp. 4. Increasing the beam current directly increases the energy per pulse. Similarly increase in pulse duration also enhances energy per pulse. 5. High-energy pulses (in excess of 100 J/pulse) can machine larger holes on thicker plates. 6. Typically the heat-affected zone is around 20 to 30 m. 7. Material removal rate = 10 mm3/min
Advantages of EBM
1. Very small holes can be machined in every type of material with high accuracy. 2. There is no mechanical contact between tool and work piece, hence no tool wear. 3. Drilling of extremely small diameter holes down to 0.002 in. 4. Drilling holes with high depth/diameter ratios, greater than 100:1.
Disadvantages of EBM
1. Cost of equipment is high 2. Rate of material removal is low 3 . It can used for small cuts only 4 . Vacuum requirements limits the size of work piece
Application of EBM
1. Drilling of holes in pressure differential devices used in nuclear reactors, air craft engine
2. Machining of wire drawing dies having small cross sectional area.
