The best clearance between the two metal parts being brazed is a close one - usually .001 inch to .003 inch, and generally not more than .005 inch. If the clearance is smaller than .001 inch, there ...

Skipping any of the basic brazing steps can lead to pipe joint failure. Strong brazed joints in high-pressure pipes are critical to lasting, leak-free performance. However, brazing is not always given ...

Brazing is the process of combining two metals using a filler material that melts, flows, and wets the surfaces of the metals at a temperature lower than the melting point of the metals. A covering ...

Brazing and soldering practices are one of many areas in the HVACR field where what is commonly practiced isn’t what’s best, and what’s taught doesn’t apply in all cases. Let’s start with the basics.

Remember when copper was commonly used in mobile air conditioning? Hans Fernqvist does. He’s a leading technical expert on climate AC systems at Volvo Car Corp. and has been actively involved in the ...

Brazing joins parts by heating them to more than 840°F and applying a filler metal that has a melting temperature below that of the base metal. Filler metal flows into the joint by capillary ...

Induction heating technology is a more effective, cost-efficient solution for tube and pipe manufacturers. It is an ideal solution for operations including hot bending, brazing or coating, heat ...
