Brazing Carbide Tool Tips With InductionĀ
Objective: Attaching carbide cutters to a steel meat cutter impeller
Material carbide blocks; steel shank fitting
Temperature 1400 Ā°F (760 Ā°C)
Frequency 300 kHz
Equipment DW-UHF-30KW induction heating systems including: Induction heating coil Workhead: two-cap 1.0Ī¼F (Total 0.5 Ī¼F) Process The entire part is placed in a five-turn helical coil, the power is applied until the part is heated to the required temperature and a uniform heat pattern is achieved. The coil allows for easy fixturing and uniformity of heating between the carbide and the steel shank for a premium braze joint.
Results/Benefits
Precision: Due to the size of the induction coil, the process allows for precise placement of the carbides on the steel shanks
Economy: Power is consumed only during the heat cycle
Repeatability: joint quality is maintained in this repeatable process
