Brazing and high temperature brazing in the vacuum furnace

High-strength connections for complex components and products with high requirements

Brazing and high-temperature brazing in a vacuum furnace is a joining process used to produce a strong, material-to-material bond. Vacuum brazing offers the user a wide range of possibilities: Complicated geometries or several joints can be joined at the same time. The modular design of components leads to simplified manufacturing processes and cost savings.

Brazing makes it possible to combine different materials with their specific properties in one component. We braze different materials in our vacuum furnaces, e.g. steel, stainless steel, copper, carbide and ceramics. The produced material joints are mechanically highly resilient, tight and free of any residues, i.e. fluxes or oxides.

The advantages of vacuum brazing are:

• Combination of different materials possible
• Wide range of applicable brazing filler metals
• No use of flux necessary
• Brazing of large-volume, heavy and flat components possible
• Component surfaces are oxide-free after brazing
• Brazing and hardening can be carried out in one process with the appropriate choice of material
• The product quality is optimally reproducible
• The brazed joint has high strength and corrosion resistance
• Achieving high dimensional accuracy through program-controlled temperature progression
• Vacuum hardening (incl. annealing) is feasible for suitable materials
