melting
We offer products for electron beam melting and refining of reactive and refractory metals (titanium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten …), e.g. for cold hearth and drip melt furnaces for the production of alloys and ultra-pure metals.
evaporation
High-rate evaporation of metallic and non-metallic materials from water-cooled copper, hot ceramic or graphite crucibles. Our electron beam systems are particularly suitable for plasma-assisted evaporation processes.
heat treatment
- Annealing, surface modification, simulation of high-temperature processes
- Use of the electron beam as energy source in vacuum
applying key components
VON ARDENNE electron beam guns, high-voltage power supplies and beam guidance systems are applied as key components in a large variety of plants. These include:
- Electron beam melting and refining furnaces
- High-rate precision coaters for different materials, i. e. metal strip and polymer films
- Systems for the manufacture of thermal barrier coatings, i. e. electron beam-based ceramic coater (batch-type system) for turbine blades
- Special plants for thermal processes and simulations
