Thermal-Vac Technology -Brazing Services

Strong: A properly designed, prepared and brazed joint will approach the strength of the materials being joined.
Leak Tight: The brazing process fills the joint with metal via capillary attraction, resulting in hermetic leak-tight joints.
Permanent: Two or more components brazed together become a single, structurally sound part.
Cross-Section Independent: Brazing allows the joining of thin sheet metal components or parts together with greatly different thicknesses or thermal masses.
Dissimilar Materials: Braze filler metals are available to achieve the joining of dissimilar materials, including different metals or even ceramics to metals.
High Temperature: High temperature filler metals are well suited for high service temperature applications.
Economical: Complex assemblies with numerous joints can be brazed together in one simple operation, eliminating the need for intricate, expensive machining and/or casting. Additionally, numerous parts can be batch processed resulting in significant savings over one-at-a-time welding of each joint on each part.
Clean: The assemblies emerge from vacuum or hydrogen furnaces clean and oxide free, thereby eliminating expensive clean up.
Dimensional Control: Brazing is done at much lower temperatures than welding and the heat is distributed much more uniformly, thereby greatly reducing or eliminating thermal stresses. Distortion and shrinkage can be controlled or eliminated during brazing to minimize or eliminate the need for post-braze machining.
Quality: Quality braze joints are assured by using proven, automated furnace braze cycles.
