The process begins in an electron accelerator. A tungsten filament is heated to emit electrons, which are then accelerated through a vacuum tube using high voltage (ranging from 150 keV to 10 MeV). These electrons are focused into a concentrated beam and "scanned" back and forth using electromagnets to ensure even coverage across the target material. 2. The Molecular Mechanism
The electrons collide with the polymer chains, knocking off hydrogen atoms and leaving behind "free radicals" (unpaired electrons) on the carbon backbone. How Does The Electron Beam Crosslinking Process...
The tight network makes it much harder for solvents, oils, or corrosive fluids to penetrate and degrade the polymer. The process begins in an electron accelerator
