Vacuum brazing furnaces
Brazing is a process for joining metallic materials through the fusion of a filler metal, known as an alloy, whose melting point is lower than that of the base metal. One of the most common forms of furnace brazing is performed in vacuum furnaces, such as many of the HTS furnaces, and is referred to as vacuum brazing. The pieces to be brazed are typically cleaned and fixed with the brazing alloy applied to the surfaces to be joined, then inserted into the furnace.
Vacuum brazing of diamond tools
Vacuum brazing for diamond cutting tools is a crucial step in ensuring strong and durable welds. Using specialized equipment such as vacuum furnaces, ultrasonic cleaning machines, and drying ovens, this process creates a controlled oxygen-free environment, facilitating the formation of strong joints between diamond segments and the blade.
Brazing furnaces heat the diamond tools within a specific temperature range, ensuring a uniform weld. Ultrasonic cleaning removes contaminants from the blade before welding, preventing impurities that could compromise quality. The drying oven eliminates trapped moisture, preventing defects in the joint.
Vacuum brazing offers advantages such as weld strength and mass production, reducing time and labor costs. In contrast to other techniques, it does not require additional finishing treatments, streamlining production. In summary, specialized equipment is necessary for producing high-quality diamond tools conveniently and efficiently on a large scale.
