Vacuum Brazing - NADCAP Approved
Vacuum brazing is another materials joining technique, one that offers extremely clean, superior, flux free braze joints while providing high integrity and strength. Vacuum brazing is somewhat similar to welding and it is just one of the many heat treating services that Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. is capable of handling. Vacuum brazing is a versatile process that is used on a large number of metal alloys. Our services include suction or hydrogen atmosphere, assembly, braze repair, hydrogen fluoride cleaning hard surfacing, and ceramics with or without metallizing. Temperature uniformity is maintained on the work piece when heating in a vacuum, greatly reducing residual stresses because of the slow heating and cooling cycles used in vacuum brazing.
Applied Thermal Technologies Inc. is your NADCAP accredited metal processing company specializing in vacuum heat treating, ceramic brazing, bright annealing, and brazing of aerospace and medical device stainless steel, titanium, nickel and other exotic alloys. We started servicing the medical device and specialty products industries in 1992 by offering bright annealing, sintering, and brazing services for medical device and aerospace stainless steel, titanium, nickel, ceramic and other metals.
For the aerospace and medical device industries; sintering and ceramic bright annealing are done using our industrial furnaces feature temperatures to 2800°F, levels to 10-6 Torr, all metal hot zones and cooling. Several brazing techniques are applicable to titanium, stainless steel and carbon steel components where we utilize nickel and low temperature brazing alloys. Our personnel work closely with you to determine your particular requirements for heat treating or sintering your titanium, nickel, ceramic and bright annealing parts.
