Induction Brazing Steel Wire

Induction Brazing Steel Wire With High Frequency Heating Brazer

Objective To heat a coil and a wire assembly to 1300°F (704°C) within 60 seconds for brazing.
Material Platinum coil, steel wire, braze paste
Temperature 1300°F (704°C)
Frequency 1000kHz
Equipment DW-UHF-4.5kW output, remote heat station containing one 1.2 microfarad capacitor, a specially-designed induction coil, an optical pyrometer, stainless steel susceptor, and zirconia
felt to house the susceptor.
Process A C-shaped steel susceptor is used to ensure even heating and for ease of loading and unloading the samples.
