We're pleased to announce that a new brazing white paper is now available. It is titled "Essential Considerations for Quality Braze Joints" and it is authored by Dr. Girish Dahake from THE LAB at Ambrell. This technical 12-page paper will help you decide whether brazing is the right solution for your application and then take you through all of the steps to braze successfully.

A client from the medical industry came to THE LAB at Ambrell looking to braze carbide to steel as a part of their surgical device manufacturing process. The application involved brazing a carbide wear pad to steel with the end product being automated surgical forceps. The materials were a steel assembly, carbide wear pad and brazing alloy. 

A client came to THE LAB at Ambrell looking to braze both ends of a steel assembly concurrently. They were familiar with induction heating and already had processes set up in their facility, but this was a new process that they wanted to design. Speed and repeatability were two particularly important factors to the client. They needed to heat the part to 1425 °F (774 °C) within one minute.

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.
