In a slight deviation from the usual applications, Market Cross assisted two companies to achieve IRR17 Consent Approval for Electron Beam Welding (EBW) operations.
EBW acts like a high-powered X-ray generator. When the high-speed electrons strike the metal workpiece, their rapid deceleration releases penetrating ionising radiation known as Bremsstrahlung (or braking radiation). Following a full IRR17 assessment and implementation of recommendations, both companies received Consent from the HSE to carry out their operations.
