Vacuum brazing is a joining process in which the components to be joined are evenly heated overall to a temperature just over the melting point of the brazing alloy being used. The process is carried out in a vacuum, better than 1 x 10-3mbar.
Typical braze alloys used are nickel, copper, gold or silver based. Brazing temperatures are typically between 750°C and 1200°C dependent on the braze alloy.
Our range of vacuum furnaces also enables us to carry out heat treatment to your specifications.
