Brazing Brass Pipe With Induction
Objective: Block is heated to 1400Ā°F to braze trap tube to assembly
Material :brass block and pre-formed tubes braze pre-forms
Temperature: 1400 ĀŗF (760Ā°C)
Frequency: 350 kHz
Equipment DW-UHF-10KW induction heating system including ā¢ Coil: custom-designed 2-turn split-helical ā¢ Workhead: contains two 1.0Ī¼F capacitors (0.5 Ī¼F total)
Process The brass parts, braze pre-form and flux are assembled and located within the custom-designed coil. Induction heating of the joint is accomplished in 45 seconds.
Results/Benefits
Economy: induction heats only the material within the coil; no energy is wasted heating the surrounding materials and air; no flame or gasses required for heating Control: process lends itself to the use of braze pre-forms; process easily adapted to automation
Efficiency: energy is expended only during the joint formation
