electron beams
Charged particle streams
Electron beams are focused streams of electrons accelerated through a vacuum, used in cathode ray tubes, electron microscopes, welding, and particle physics research.
The beam can be steered by magnetic or electric fields, allowing precise control: The electron beam traces lines across the screen to form an image.
In manufacturing, electron beam welding produces deep, narrow joints with minimal heat distortion.
