Abstract

The scope of this study is to ascertain the weldability of Inconel 625 alloy sheets using an electron beam welding method. Weld joints of the Inconel alloy sheets 2.0 mm thick were welded by an electron beam without an additional material at a flat position. The influence of electron beam welding parameters on weld quality and mechanical properties of test joints was studied. The study of quality and mechanical properties of the joints were determined by metallographic evaluation, tensile and hardness tests.
