                   Process Capabilities of Electron Beam Machining   -          Introduction-   EBM(Electron Beam machining) is a thermal machining  process wherein material is removed from the workpiece by focusing a beam of high velocity electrons.  A high voltage DC power supply is used to generate electrons with high energy in this process.  It is a progressive machining process for material removal. Generally, electron beam machining is carried out in a vacuum chamber , this helps in removing unnecessary scattering of electrons and also making the process more efficient.  For micro-cutting of metals, this is the preferred process. It can also be used to bore the wide range of metals. Parts of Electron Beam Machining:   Electron gun: Electron gun is the primary part of electron beam machining. The beam of an electron is generated which is further used to remov...
