SAE AMS 2681B:2000 pdf free download Welding, Electron-Beam
1 . SCOPE:
1 .1 Purpose: This specification defines the procedures and requirements for joining metals and alloys using the electron-beam (EB) welding process.
1 .2 Application: These procedures are used typically for electron-beam welding of aerospace components in soft to hard vacuum atmospheres, but usage is not limited to such applications. EB welding for fatigue critical applications should be performed in accordance with AMS 2680.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: The issue of the following documents in effect on the date of the purchase order form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. The supplier may work to a subsequent revision of a document unless a specific document issue is specified. When the referenced document has been canceled and no superseding document has been specified, the last published issue of that document shall apply.

3. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
3.1 Materials:
3.1 .1 Parent Materials: Shall be as specified on the applicable part drawing. (See ARP1 31 7 for guidelines.)
3.1 .2 Filler Materials: When required, filler metal shall be as specified on the part drawing.
3.1 .3 Cleaning Materials: Cleaning materials, chemical solvents, and etching solutions shall be as specified on the part drawing or in the certified welding schedule.
3.2 Equipment:
3.2.1 Electron-Beam Welding Equipment: Shall be capable of producing welds meeting the requirements of 3.6 and 3.7. Equipment conforming to NAS 976 shall be acceptable.
3.2.2 Jigs and Fixtures: All holding fixtures shall be capable of maintaining the desired configuration and tolerances during welding, providing back-up as required, and allowing required work space between the work piece and the electron gun. Back-up material used to deflect or absorb residual electron-beam energy shall be of the same alloy as the part being welded except that alternate back-up materials may be used when approved by procedure certification as in 3.4.2. Tooling within 6 inches (1 52 mm) of the weld joint shall be made from nonmagnetic materials or be degaussed to acceptable limits (See 3.2.3).
