Figs. 2 and 3 show the results of numerical analysis of the deposition process of vertically fed wire material, fused by two symmetrically acting electron beams, without (a) and with (b) the forces of metal vapor pressure. Fig. 2 shows a variant in which the deposition velocity vector lies in the action plane of the electron beams, and Fig. 3 shows a variant in which the deposition velocity vector is perpendicular to the action plane of the electron beams. The results testify that the geometric characteristics of the deposited beads signifi cantly depend on the relative position of the deposition velocity vector relative to the action plane of the electron beams. Without taking into account the vapor pressure forces, in both cases we observe the formation of fairly uniform rolls without signifi cant distortion of the fusion line and the stream transfer of the fi ller material into the melt bath. The vapor pressure force and its accounting has a signifi cant impact on the results of numerical simulation of the formation of the welding pool and the hydrodynamic processes occurring in it, as it is known that the vapor pressure forces are the main driving force in the weld pool [22]. The mode of the fi ller material transfer also changes.
