Electron Beam Based Process

Basics

• This page goes over various scientific, and industrial processes that use electron beams

List

Metalworking

• Drilling of small holes (Similar use case to EDM
• Precise Cuts (Similar use case to EDM )
• Welding

3D Printing

• EBM

Metallurgy

• Electron Beam Furnace
• Electron Beam Metal Powderization

Semiconductor Work

• Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition
• Electron Beam Lithography

Scientific

• Electron Microscopy (Transmission or scanning)
• Particle Physics Use Cases (various accelerators
• Free Electron Lasers

Vacuum Tubes

• CRT Displays
• Audio Vacuum Tubes (Liked by some enthusiasts and still actively produced)
• Travelling Wave Tubes are often used in sattalites due to their radiation tolerance (compared to semiconductors)
• Photomultiplier Tubes are common for low level light detection applications
• X-Ray Tubes
