Vacuum Furnace Brazing

Vacuum furnace brazing is used for various metal joining processes. It takes place in a water-cooled chamber that is evacuated below atmospheric pressure. Assemblies that are processed in a vacuum are bright and shiny clean. The vacuum atmosphere prevents the oxidation of parts. Vacuum brazing is particularly useful where base metals are processed that adversely react with other atmospheres like Nitrogen or Argon.

Vacuum brazing is widely used for brazing base metals of stainless steel, superalloys, and carbon low alloy steels. Vacuum brazing offers a combination of high cleanliness and uniform heating and cooling or rapid cooling. It is ideal for oxidation-sensitive materials such as those used in the aerospace industry.

Brazecom Industries offers the following features and benefits

In-house design / engineering assistance
10-5 Vacuum levels help reduce metals reactions
Partial pressure inert atmospheres includes argon and nitrogen
Programmable controls ensure repeatability with steady temperature ramp-up and cool-down
Rapid cool-down using inert gas circulated through a sealed heat exchanger
2400F High-temperature capability
36 x 48 x 24 hot zone

Heat Treatment

Vacuum furnace heat treating is used to alter the condition or properties in metals or metal alloys. The advantage of heat treatment in a vacuum atmosphere is that it keeps metals pristine clean, and with no surface oxides. Vacuum can virtually eliminate post-heat treat cleaning. The basis for heat-treating can include the following:

Removing stresses such as those that typically developed in the machining and/or welding of a part
Refine the grain structure of metals
Increase toughness by providing a combination of high tensile strength and good ductility to enhance impact strength
Improve the cutting properties of tool steels
Enhance electrical properties
Alter magnetic properties

Leak Testing

Pressure and Helium Leak Testing

Helium Leak testing is a nondestructive examination method that is used for the detection and localization of leaks. It can be used to test weld joints, braze or solder joints, and through all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals with leak rates as low as 1.0 x 10-9 cc he/sec. Pressure testing is another method of verifying the integrity of a brazed or weld joint and has the capability of testing up to 500psi. Most of our test fixtures are designed and fabricated in-house. From a prototype or "one-off" part to large production runs.
