A client manufacturing plumbing flanges came to THE LAB at Ambrell with a brazing application. They needed to braze copper and brass fittings. They had been using a torch, but wanted a more repeatable heating solution. So they took advantage of free parts testing from THE LAB to see if induction might be a better heating solution for their brazing application. 

An aerospace client approached THE LAB at Ambrell with a brazing application. They tried using an oven and a torch for brazing their steel nozzle assembly, but were seeing inconsistent results. This was a low volume application, so heating time wasn't a concern. However, the location of the desired braze joint was shielded from the induction field by the lip of the nozzle, which complicated the process. 

The basic principles of induction heating have been used in manufacturing since the 1920s. Induction brazing is just one process that uses the science of induction heating to fuse metals. Before you get started with induction brazing, it's important to understand how the process works. Let's look at some answers to common questions about induction brazing.

A company that manufactures, sharpens, repairs and modifies tooling turned to THE LAB at Ambrell. They were torch brazing carbide inserts into tubes but needed a more consistent heating method. They manufacture modest quantities of parts so their concern was quality of the joint, not heating time.
