EBM(Electron Beam Melting)

By Dong-A Specialty Metals

As demand rises for high-performance alloys in aerospace, defense, medical, and nuclear industries, precision melting technologies like Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), and Plasma Arc Melting (PAM) have become essential. These advanced methods are key to producing ultra-pure titanium, nickel, and zirconium alloys with uniform crystal structures and minimal impurities.


Why Advanced Melting Technologies Matter

Traditional melting methods struggle with reactive metals and high-purity requirements. In contrast, VAR, EBM, and PAM offer superior impurity control, structural uniformity, and process stability—each with distinct advantages depending on industry needs.


1. Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR)

VAR is the most widely used specialty melting method. It forms an arc between a consumable electrode and the metal in a vacuum chamber, allowing gradual remelting and controlled solidification.


  •  Advantages

- Proven and commercially widespread

- Excellent for quality consistency

- Common in aerospace, satellite, and energy industries


  •  Disadvantages

- Lower impurity removal than EBM

- Requires pre-machined electrodes


  •  Key Applications

- Turbine blades, engine parts, radiation-resistant metals

- Medical implants and structural titanium alloys


2. Electron Beam Melting (EBM)

EBM uses a focused electron beam in a vacuum to melt metals with pinpoint precision. It offers unmatched purification, especially for reactive and high-purity metals.


  •  Advantages

- Highest purification efficiency

- Ideal for reactive metals like titanium and zirconium

- Electrode-free process


  •  Disadvantages

- High equipment costs

- Slow production speed

- Less suited to mass production


  •  Key Applications

- High-purity titanium/zirconium

- Semiconductor-grade metals

- 3D printing powder, medical implants


3. Plasma Arc Melting (PAM)

PAM creates a high-energy plasma arc using inert gases like argon to melt metals. It’s more cost-effective than EBM and allows continuous production.


  •  Advantages

- Strong energy output and broad material compatibility

- High productivity

- Excellent for scrap recycling


  •  Disadvantages

- Lower impurity control than EBM

- High inert gas usage

- Complex plasma control


  •  Key Applications

- Titanium scrap refining

- High-purity alloy production (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V)

- Aerospace, defense, and EV battery material manufacturing



The Future of Titanium Melting Technologies

- VAR remains the most universally applied technique

- EBM leads in purity and is expanding into future-oriented industries

- PAM stands out in resource recycling and will play a central role in Korea’s titanium circular economy


At Dong-A Specialty Metals, we are committed to advancing these technologies to support the localization of high-performance materials through recycling. With long-term investments and advanced facilities like our PAM and hybrid systems, we aim to lead Korea’s special alloy industry into the future.
