Exotic Materials Eroded
01 Mar 2005
Specialist subcontractors Cambridge Electron Beam, with extensive expertise in the art and science of welding exotic materials, is using a Sodick wire EDM machine to erode complex forms and difficult-tomachine shapes in materials such as tungsten and molybdenum.
The father and son company, which was formed in 1978 as a welding subcontractor, has continued to develop its expertise and is now largely involved in sub-contracting using electron beam welding machines. The work involves the manufacture of a range of small components for temperature sensors and also parts used in the manufacture of semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride.
The manufacture of the components is challenging, not only because of the materials used, but also the geometry of the parts, for example one small tungsten item of approximately 12 x 6mm has a 1mm wide slot in the base and a U-shaped prong at the top as well as small notches along one side.
