Brazing Fittings to Stainless Steel

Objective
Induction brazing of elbow fittings to a stainless steel part in under 6 seconds by reaching a temperature of 1450°F (788°C).

Equipment
UPT-S2/200
HS-4W Heat Station
3-turn pancake coil

Materials
Stainless steel tube
Elbow fittings
Brazing flux

Key Parameters
Power: 1.09kW
Temperature: 1450°F (788°C)
Time: 6 sec

Process:

  1. Brazing flux is applied to the stainless steel tube.
  2. The elbow joint and the tube are placed in the center of the coil.
  3. Heat is applied for 6 sec until the part is brazed.

Results/Benefits:

  • Induction heating pinpoints the heat to the desired area of the part
  • 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
