What is induction brazing?

Brazing is a materials joining process that uses a filler metal (and usually an anti-oxidizing solvent called flux) to join two pieces of close-fitting metal together without melting the base materials. Instead, induced heat melts the filler, which is then drawn into the base materials by capillary action.

 

What are the advantages of induction brazing?

Induction brazing can join a wide range of metals, even ferrous to non-ferrous. Induction brazing is precise and quick. Only narrowly defined areas are heated, leaving adjacent areas and materials unaffected. Correctly brazed joints are strong, leak-proof and corrosion resistant. They are also very neat, usually requiring no further milling, grinding or finishing. Induction brazing is ideal for integrating into production lines.

 

Where is induction brazing used?

EFD Induction brazing systems can be used for virtually any brazing task. To date, our systems are typically used in the electrotechnical industry to braze generator and transfomer components like bars, strands, rings, wires and SC-rings. They also braze fuel pipes and AC and brake parts for the automotive industry. The aeronautics sector uses induction to braze fan blades, blades for casings, and fuel and hydraulic systems. In the houseware industry, our systems braze compressor components, heating elements and faucets.

Induction brazing silver filler

Bars of silver filler about to be heated for brazing bars to a short-circuit ring. Once heated to the correct temperature, the filler will appear to ‘float’ on the surface of the metal, before being distributed throughout the joint by capillary force.

Strong joints with induction brazing

Usually, the strongest joints are made by allowing just enough space for the filler metal to flow into the joint area. Wider spacing will generally result in a weaker joint.
