Optimizations of electron beam welding conditions might solve the quench problems and improve the accelerating field of the superconducting radio-frequency cavity. As a first step toward optimum conditions, basic properties of weld beads are studied by using niobium test pieces. Effects of a combination of a beam generator position and a welding direction on geometries of weld bead are shown. Good parameter-regions for electron beam welding, which yield full penetration welds without holes or weld spatters, are surveyed. Microscopic structures, such as pits or bumps due to poor welds, have greater influence on cavity performances, which are also our research objects. We introduce a model of the magnetic field enhancement at pits, where a formula for a magnetic field enhancement factor is given as a function of parameters that express a geometry of pit. Comparisons between calculations and vertical test results are also shown.

The construction of new facility for the fabrication of superconducting RF cavity at KEK was completed in 2011. It is equipped with the following machines; an electron-beam welding (EBW) machine, a servo press machine and a CNC vertical lathe. A chemical etching apparatus is also equipped. The study on the fabrication of 9-cell cavity for International Linear Collier (ILC) has been started from 2009 using this facility. The study is focusing on the cost reduction with keeping high performance of cavity, and the goal is the establishment of mass-production procedure for ILC.
