Product Description

Begins by explaining the history behind the development of the brazing process before moving on to discuss the crucial parameters and elements of the process itself. Paper.

Set against other texts dedicated to brazing the book comes out well. The author has avoided the temptation to adopt a theoretical approach and offers much by way of guidance and instruction. On balance, it is well worth the money – Insight; Easy to find specific, practical information on any metal, filler or flux.

As it is known that the used of induction coil with the flow of electrical current will generate heat due to resistance in the coil material. Thus the induction brazing process will involves in a very high frequency induction heating. And therefore it is suitable for brazing magnetic material.

Some of its common uses are such as brazing metallic materials, brazing magnetic materials, mining applications, plumbing applications, brazing silver, brazing copper based alloys, brazing ceramic and many more.

The benefit of using induction brazing process is that it can be applied in a manufacturing or production process by applying in a machine. Other benefits are such as:

1. It is suitable for a large production volume,
2. The machine can accurately monitor heating rate and final temperature
3. The machine facilitates rapid heating
4. Offers multi brazing solution for single power source
5. Improve brazing process without flame (avoiding fire hazard),
6. Cost effective in such that we do not need torch and furnace.
7. High quality by providing accurate brazing process.
8. Heating energy is focus in the part only.

Review

“If one is seriously interested to any extent in the process of joining in the broadest terms this must be a significant source of information” – International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives

“This is one of the most comprehensive texts available for the reference shelf on joining technologies. Very Highly Recommended!“ – Adhesives & Sealants Newsletter, September 2006

“Where it is proposed to join materials or structures in a new or unconventional way not already proven by use in service, this book will give a guide on methods to be adopted and problems which could arise. The book of some 800 pages with many photographs and illustrations is easily readable and a useful source of information on this most important aspect of modern construction.” – W.A. Black in Building Engineer, April 2005.

“good book to know the basic knowledge”, January 30, 2010

By Student Caro (France).
I bought this book as a textbook to learn the basics about joining. This book is really complete and describe the effects of joining on materials and structures. I recommend it to you if you want to work in the materials field.

The technology of brazing process itself has developing nowadays. New products and techniques of this metallurgical joining are discovering to enhance the performance, quality and cost effective that includes induction brazing method. In the last decades, brazing products and methods have been developed, including oxygen-acetylene torches, controlled environment brazing furnaces and vacuum furnace brazing and induction brazing. Today, brazing is used in a broad range of manufacturing systems including refrigeration and air-conditioning, household utensils, tubular structures, automotive parts, tools and machinery, electrical components, nautical and aerospace equipment, farm implants, and business machines.

To get the best quality and best cost effective brazing result is to have a best heating technique to ensure the best flow of filler metal in between the join of the material. In today demands the brazing process will also involve in a production line which a unique of brazing method is necessary to achieve best quality and cost effective. Therefore a unique induction brazing is widely using in such work

In induction brazing method temperature are usually reached in a matter of seconds for higher manufacturing productivity. The induction brazing method uses magnetism to induce electrical resistance to heat up the base material. Induction heating in induction brazing has proven an important tool in these joining processes. It allows for rapid localized heating, joining high-strength components with minimum loss of strength. An exact heat control in induction brazing allows the brazing process to be performed efficiently.

Induction brazing alloys melt at high temperatures and provide high strength joints that can resist reasonably elevated temperatures without failure. Many of the alloys used for brazing are presented in the form of wire, strip, powder and also washers or rings for induction brazing process purposes.

The design of the induction coil must be made to order to behavior of the metals and the dimension and shape of the joining parts. When using the induction brazing, special concern must also be given to the heating pattern; the method of pre-placing the joining alloy; the tolerances between mating parts; the thermal conductivity; and the expansion characteristics of the material to be joined.

It is important that when designing brazing process (such in induction brazing) to consider the join strength which to have the maximum strength. This can be accomplished, in many instances, by pre-placing the joining alloy in such a way that it will flow into the joint by gravity and capillary attraction, showing uniform and complete penetration by appearance of the alloy at the opposite end of the joint.

Brazing and this type of Welding   by William Walley

When you join two pieces of metal to a third piece of metal that is a filler metal that is molten, you have a technique called brazing. This type of welding is said to be versatile and the joints that are brazed have a very strong tensile strength. One reason to use this method is because it can make the two metals stronger when they are bonded then when they are separate metals.

One of the good points for brazing is that when you have brazed the joints they will repel gas and other liquids so that the metals can resist vibration and they do are not affected with changes in temperature. They can also resist shock.

Also, since the two metals are joined they don’t warp or distort but they are able to keep all their metallurgical properties. You will also notice that because the joints themselves are not melted, they come out very clean and you have a nice finish.

Brazing is usually used for the manufacture of plumbing fixtures, for making tools, used in high quality products for consumers and in heavy construction. You can use this process when you want to join two metals that are different. This is also a quick and very cost effective method.

When you are considering what welding process to use it is a good idea to think about the total project and what you want it to do. When you want a strong and permanent fixture then brazing is a better technique. One of the reasons this is a better technique is because it is more flexible than other forms of welding and you can make mistakes that can be easily corrected and changed as you go.

Brazing can also be used with thin metals because you won’t have a lot of warping or distortion. You can also braze linear joints a lot easier than with welding because the filler metal that you use will automatically flow to the joint you are trying to bring together.

There are three ways for you to have the heat that you need for brazing. These three ways are: using a hand held torch, using a furnace or you can use an induction heating system. You can use torch brazing for small areas, but you will have to practice this a bit before you do it on something important. The reason is because you have to have a steady hand and be able to control the movement of the torch.

There are basically three types of brazed joints:

Butt joint — this is when you have two metals that you want to join end to end. This is a strong brazing when you have enough bond surfaces to work with.

Lap joint — this type of joint is used when the welder wants a strong bond. The two metals will be overlapped which makes a larger surface to bond, and a stronger bond.

Butt-lap joint — when these two types of joints are brought together, they create one single thickness and a strength that is stronger then the two individually.
