Vacuum Brazing

Vacuum brazing, one of the strongest bonding methods available for metal joining, results in a bright, clean assembly. Machined, cast, formed, stamped and tubing are bonded with a hermetic seal at the joint area. Because parts are processed in vacuum (fluxless brazing) there is no need for post braze cleaning. Vacuum brazing is especially useful when minimal distortion is important for small or larger assemblies.

Simple and complex configurations of all sizes (up to 12 feet) can be joined. Customized braze runs, strict quality control procedures and prompt shipment of your parts help ensure satisfaction with every job. Solar brazes to AWS, AMS and Mil-specs standards. See Quality Page for details.
