Bodycote, U.K., announces the installation of further electron beam welding (EBW) capacity at its facility in Cambridge. EBW creates high-integrity joints with minimal distortion by using a focused stream of high-energy electrons to apply very localized heating. The new machine, with its larger work chamber, complements the existing EBW capacity and will help service a growing customer base.
The new capacity addition is in response to an increase in demand driven by regional manufacturers and their markets. Customers include scientific, pharmaceutical, and research companies in and around the South East of England.
A long-established center of excellence for metal joining processes, the Cambridge facility has recently secured continued ‘Merit’ status following a recent Nadcap audit by PRI. The Nadcap Merit program exists to reward superior performance in Nadcap audits, underlining the high standards of quality achieved at Bodycote Cambridge.
