• This is my title project for master degree in the production engineering. It was done in the advanced centre of technology and faculty of engineering (Alfath University), Tripoli - Libya (2005) “''Characterization of carbon steel thick welded joints by Electron Beam Welding'' The study focused on the effect of welding speed in EBW on penetration and width of the weld. Also, effect of impurities such as phosphors and sulphur on toughness deterioration due to segregation at grain boundaries was studied. I have used the spectrometer analysis and (SEM) scanning electron microscope technique for chemical analysis. In addition, the (HAZ) heat affected zone was studied in the work.
