Electron beam welding of vital aircraft titanium alloy parts is dealt with. Parameters for optimum welding are considered: welding speed, power requirement, and focusing. These parameters were determined from metallurgical and mechanical tests, mainly fatigue tests. Characteristics of the welded joints and their control after welding, are reported. The following results were obtained: welding speed: 1.4 m/mn; power: 9 to 10 kW (50 kV; 180 to 200 mA); focusing: low. A fatigue resistance reduction of the joint with respect to the base metal of the order of 10 % should be taken into account.
