Electron Beam Machining and Laser Beam Machining Difference
The Key Difference Between EBM and LBM is that Electron Beam Machining (EBM) is used a high-intensity beam of focused electrons. Whereas, Laser Beam Machining (LBM) uses a high-intensity laser beam.
Comparison Chart
| Electron Beam Machining (EBM) | Laser Beam Machining (LBM) |
|---|---|
| A high-intensity beam of focused electrons is used. | A high-intensity beam of laser is used. |
| It requires any vacuum chamber | It does not require any vacuum chamber |
| EBM process is suitable for small components | There is no restriction on size |
| Electrically conductive material only can be machined | LBM is independent of electrically conductive. |
| EBM process is time-consuming. | LBM process is time-efficient. |
| X-Ray is generated during the EBM process. | No X-Ray is generated in the LBM process. |
