Induction Brazing Brass Faucet
Objective Brazing two joints on a brass bathroom faucet assembly
Material Brass bathroom fittings 1โ OD, brazing rings, flux
Temperature 1148 ยบF (620 ยบC)
Frequency 90 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-30 kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing eight 1.0 ฮผF capacitors for aย total of 8.0 ฮผF
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A two turn C shaped coil is used to braze the faucet assembly.
The braze rings are placed at the joint, the parts assembledย and fluxed. The first braze joint is heated for 30 seconds andย the braze ring flows. The assembly is rotated & the secondย joint is heated for 30 seconds to flow the braze ring. The twoย brazes are completed in 60 seconds.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Faster, repeatable and consistent results
โข Localized heat produces neat and clean joints
โข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forย manufacturing
โข Even distribution of heating
