Properties

The most important properties of vacuum brazed connections are as follows:

• Very strong and reproducible joints. Equal to or even stronger than the basic material.
• Through the use of precious brazing material, corrosion resistant joints are created.
• Joints can be exposed to relatively high charge temperatures.(< 800 ºC)
• Clean process. Products remain metallically blank.
• Brazing without flux agents. Therefore, no undesirable surface reactions.
• Very clean, hygienic gap free joint. Important for the food or medical industry.
• Vacuum tight/leak proof joints.
• Possibility of joining various materials with each other (e.g.: metal-ceramics).
• Brazing and hardening possible in a single process.
• Parts can undergo practically all hardening processes after a brazing treatment.
• High level of construction freedom; thick/thin is possible, large surfaces can be joined.
• More than one joint can be created in a single process. The creation of complex products is possible
• High level of dimensional stability possible, no or practically no distortions.
• Both single piece and larger series can be treated.
