Abstract
The paper presents microstructure investigations as well as properties and technical parameters of welds made using the electron beam welding method (EBW). Electron beam welding is a bonding process, especially suitable in the case of titanium and other oxidation-sensitive materials, because it must be carried out in a vacuum. Integrity of the joint was determined on the basis of mechanical properties and microstructure evaluation. The micro-hardness of the weld was measured with the Matsuzawa-Vickers MX 100 – a load of 100 G (0.98 N) was used. Nikon Eclipse MA200 microscope was used to examine the microstructure and determining the size of individual articulation zones.

Summary
W pracach eksperymentalnych używano urządzenia do spawania wiązką elektronową firmy TECHMETA NC. Stopień próżni w komorze urządzenia wynosił 10–4 Pa, a parametry wiązki elektronów były następujące: natężenie prądu – 40 mA, napięcie przyspieszające – 40 kV. Po wykonaniu złączy spawanych przygotowano próbki do badań metalograficznych (zgłady wykonano według standardowych procedur metalograficznych stosowanych w przypadku stopów tytanu). Do obserwacji zgładów metalograficznych spoin wykorzystano mikroskop metalograficzny Nikon Eclipse MA200 z systemem analizy obrazu NIS 4.20 oraz mikroskop skaningowy SEM JEOL JSM 7100 z mikrosondą elektronową OXFORD X-MAX. Przygotowanie zgładów spoin obejmowało: przecięcie spoiny, zainkludowanie w żywicy, polerowanie i trawienie.
