Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized technical job that irradiates high-energy electron beams onto metal parts in a vacuum to precisely join them.
Description
Electron beam welders irradiate electron beams onto metal parts inside a vacuum chamber, locally heating them to melt and join. They control multiple parameters such as beam focus, output, and scanning speed to create precise weld sections. They work in manufacturing sites for products requiring high quality and dimensional accuracy, such as aerospace parts, medical devices, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. After welding, they perform quality inspections using microscopes or X-rays, and are also responsible for safety management and maintenance of vacuum equipment.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected in aerospace, medical devices, and semiconductor fields, and with the advancement of precision parts processing, the demand for specialized technicians is forecasted to increase steadily. Even amid advancing robot automation, high skills will continue to be required.
