Induction Brazing Aluminum Automotiveย
Objective: Heat aluminum for an automotive brazing application
Material: Aluminum tubing 0.50 (12.7mm) dia, an aluminum boss 1โย (25.4mm) long, flux filled braze rings
Temperature: 1200 ยบF (649 ยบC)
Frequency: 370 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-10KW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing one 1.0ฮผF capacitors for aย total of 1.0 ฮผF
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A multi turn pancake coil is used to heat the joint between theย aluminum tubing and boss. The joint heats to temperature inย 1.5 minutes and the braze ring melts forming a clean brazed
joint.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Hands-free heating that involves minimal operator skill forย manufacturing
โข Flameless application
โข Reliable, repeatable aesthetically pleasing braze joint
โข Even distribution of heating
