Disclosed are a special tooling and method for electron beam welding of a cavity body and a beam tube of a superconducting niobium cavity. The special tooling includes a first clamping device for fixing a flange and a second clamping device for fixing a semi-cavity body, wherein the first clamping device and the second clamping device are fixedly connected. A pressing ring of the first clamping device is disposed around a beam tube of a superconducting niobium cavity and cooperates with a base plate to clamp and fix the flange. The second clamping device includes clamping arms evenly distributed along a circumference of the semi-cavity body, and each clamping arm includes a second pressing plate axially disposed along the beam tube and a pressing block that is disposed on an end portion of the second pressing plate and fixes an edge of the semi-cavity body.

A method and an apparatus pertaining to recycling and reuse of unwanted light in additive manufacturing can multiplex multiple beams of light including at least one or more beams of light from one or more light sources. The multiple beams of light may be reshaped and blended to provide a first beam of light. A spatial polarization pattern may be applied on the first beam of light to provide a second beam of light. Polarization states of the second beam of light may be split to reflect a third beam of light, which may be reshaped into a fourth beam of light. The fourth beam of light may be introduced as one of the multiple beams of light to result in a fifth beam of light.

Disclosed is a method for vacuum electron beam welding of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel and use thereof. The welding method according to the present disclosure includes preheating welding, tack welding, and deep penetration welding. The method according to the present disclosure can achieve welding stability, a uniform butt joint width, small splash and full arc ending, and ensure that the internal quality of a welded joint meets requirements for an ISO13919-1 grade B butt joint, and the plasticity and tensile strength of the welded joint are equivalent to those of a base metal, thereby ensuring that the welded joint has a high energy-absorbing buffering function equivalent to that of a base metal. A vehicle anti-collision beam manufactured after welding and a vehicle energy-absorbing buffer component assembled by using the anti-collision beam have the advantages of light structure, high safety protection, etc.
