4. Introduction & Definition2
๏ฑ Electron beam Machining (EBM) is a process
where high velocity electrons concentrated into a
narrow beam are directed toward the work piece
surface to remove material by melting &
vaporization.
๏ฑ Also known as โElectro optical thermal processโ.
๏ฑ Use high power density

5. Working Principle3
Emits
electrons
Electron gun emits
electrons
Accelerated those
electrons around 75%
of light speed by high
voltage between anode
& cathode.
75% light

Magnetic lens focus
electron onto
workpiece.
K.E. of electrons is
converted into heat

Due to intense energy
density, instant melting
& vaporization starts
& materials remove.
