WELCOME TO THE 6^th IEBW
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRON BEAM WELDING CONFERENCE,
March 9 - 10, 2021

The American Welding Society (AWS), the German Welding Society (DVS) and the International Institute of Welding (IIW) are organizing the 6th International Electron Beam Welding Conference.

Next year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are moving the 6th International Electron Beam Welding Conference into the virtual world, combining pre-recorded video presentations with an exciting innovative and interactive digital conference format.

The IEBW conference will bring together scientists, engineers and technical personnel from around the globe involved in research, development and application of electron beam welding processes.

The year 2020 will go down in history as the year of many changes. Much has developed differently than planned; the good remains. The electron beam is certainly one of them. Hardly any technology has been in use so reliably and reproducibly for decades. Let's discover trends and developments in electron beam applications and advance them together.

The event is truly one that anyone involved in sophisticated joining challenges should plan to attend, even if it can only take place online next year. We look forward to meeting you in the virtual world.
