A client had been brazing a nickel pin and a braided nickel wire with a torch. They turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to recommend a process for brazing with induction heating. The client wanted to take advantage of induction's benefits, including repeatability, safety and speed. The end product from this application is a heater assembly. 

In the last post, we started to discuss what industries use brazing and why. However, having a full understanding of the various uses and applications for brazing aluminum, as well as other metals, can provide businesses an understanding of whether induction brazing may add value to their process. Here's part two of our guide that will explore additional reasons to consider 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. 

A company that manufactures PDC products for the oil, gas, mining and construction industries turned to THE LAB at Ambrell for their brazing application involving a steel and carbide assembly. They were using a torch to create mining bits and wanted to evaluate the feasibility of processing 100 parts per day with induction heating.
