Abstract

The 4th International biannual conference “Electron Beam Welding and Related Technologies (EBW2021)” was held at National Research University “Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI)” on November 16-19 2021 in Moscow, Russia. The host university MPEI is one of the leading academic institutions in Europe that conducts research in heat and electricity generation, electrotechnical instrumentation design and power engineering machinery building.The conference is dedicated to research, innovations and novel engineering solutions in electron beam welding (EBW), metals heat treatment, and electrotechnical engineering. More than 40 reports were presented in various areas of EBW technologies:• processing of metals with condensed energy flows;• technologies of electron beam wielding;• additive technologies;• equipment for electron beam wielding;• related fields of materials sciences.Reports subjects included the following areas: modeling of EBW processes (thermal fields, heat and mass transfer, electron beam energy, metal ionization, etc.), control of EBW parameters and welding equipment, additive manufacturing, diagnostics of mechanical and service properties of welded joints, electron beam welding equipment.List of Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, Editor are available in this pdf.
