Metal Deposition Technology

Keystone has developed high-quality Electron Beam (EB) metal deposition manufacturing processes that meet rigorous aerospace quality standards for titanium, nickel, and steel alloys. These deposition methods generate very near-net shape 3-D geometries for highly efficient metal utilization. Keystone’s process understanding enables the control of microstructures for tailored applications.

Keystone is partnered with Acceleron, Inc, a respected electron-beam welding company. The combined materials engineering and manufacturing experience of the Keystone-Acceleron Partnership offers an effective source for this emerging manufacturing and repair process for aerospace, commercial components and tooling.

The Evolution of a Near-Net Metal Deposition Process

Located at the Acceleron facility are three CNC electron beam wire-feed metal deposition rigs for manufacturing and repair
