Brazing Carbide Tips

Objective
Braze carbide tips to a large drill bit by reaching temperatures of 1500°F (816°C) in less than 15 seconds using induction.

Equipment
UPT-W10/150
HS-8 Heat Station
2-turn coil

Materials
• Large drill bit
• Carbide tips
• Brazing alloy

Key Parameters
Power: 5.4kW
Temperature: 1500°F (816°C)
Time: 12 sec

Process:

  1. The drill bit was held in the coil.
  2. Induction heat was applied for 12 sec to reach the desired temperature.
  3. Carbide tips were brazed to the heated part.

Results/Benefits:

  • Improved process control for precise heating to a desired temperature
  • Power on demand and rapid, consistent heat cycles
  • Technology without pollution, which is both clean and safe
