Our Brazed Assembly Process
Depending on the material type and part geometry, our experienced team of engineers will select the appropriate brazing fixtures, joint design, and process best-suited to your specific application. Through atmosphere or vacuum brazing, we join metal to metal and ceramic to metal in a highly controlled environment, helping protect assemblies from oxidation. The active metal brazing process is ideally suited for assembling metal substrates to ceramic parts without metallization and is in most cases a cost-effective solution performed by our in-house team of experts. As an added value for our clients, we are also capable of joining metal components by laser, TIG, and spot welding.
Our metal brazing services are essential across various industries, ensuring the reliable performance of manufactured components in extreme conditions. Our brazing techniques are essential for producing power grid tubes and vacuum interrupters, where maintaining a hermetic seal in high vacuum environments is critical. These applications ensure reliable operation under high voltage and current conditions, preventing gas leaks and enhancing the longevity and reliability of the components.
