A client from the oil and gas industry came to THE LAB at Ambrell with a new application that involved brazing and de-brazing carbide and steel plate assemblies. Speed and quality (for brazing) were significant considerations that led them to consider induction heating. They also wanted the ability to de-braze for any repair scenarios. 

A client had been using an inexpensive imported induction heating system, but ran into quality issues that resulted in production down time. Consequently, they turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to develop the right solution for their application and enable the installation of a reliable EASYHEAT^TM induction heating system. The application involved heating steel cutting bits with diamond-carbide inserts for brazing and de-brazing, and the end products were cutting tools.
