19、e purposes of this document, the terms and definitions are given in ISO 857-1 and ISO 17659. 3.1 electron beam welding fusion welding process using the transformation of the kinetic energy of beam electrons into thermal energy when they strike the material NOTE 1 The electrons are obtained from a ca
20、thode heated under a secondary vacuum (1 Pa to 10-4Pa). NOTE 2 The welding operation may be performed under a controlled atmosphere, generally under a primary vacuum (100 Pa to 1 Pa) or secondary vacuum. 3.2 Weldability 3.2.1 notion of weldability a metallic material is considered to be weldable to
21、a given degree, by a given process or for a given type of application when, provided that the corresponding precautions are taken, it lends itself to the production of a weld which, through its characteristics and the consequences of its presence, meets the required properties chosen as the basis fo
22、r the judgement 3.2.2 degrees of weldability the weldability of materials is assessed according to the following four degrees: degree 1: material with very good weldability, requiring no particular precautions. Preferred. degree 2: material with good weldability but likely to require special welding
23、 precautions (for example, preheating, low feedrate, etc.). degree 3: material with poor weldability, requiring specific development for each type of part and likely to lead to manufacturing problems. Inadvisable. degree 4: material with very poor weldability. To be avoided. 3.3 Technical terms 3.3.
