Aug 30, 2005 #2 nbucska Electrical Jun 1, 2000 2,191 Shielding an electron beam doesn't require any great thickness -- you must make sure the metal is thick enough to conduct the heat away -- on the other hand the inpact of high speed E-beam generates X-rays which may require much thicker shielding. <nbucska@pcperipherals DOT com> subj: eng-tips read FAQ240-1032 Upvote 0 Downvote
