Abstract
In an energy beam welding method, as an electron beam welding method, wherein an elongated body or wire of filler material is introduced in a welding zone produced by the beam and comprising fused material, the filler material body is used to act on the fused material to prevent it from flowing out of the welding zone, which would cause voids and other defects of the seam produced. The method is particularly useful in welding thick workpieces as sheet metal plates with thicknesses of one to two inches and more.
