Vacuum Brazing

TSI's multiple vacuum brazing ovens offer our customers industry-leading capacity. Some benefits to vacuum brazing are:

Vacuum Brazing Reduced Tooling Cost. The vacuum brazing process uses little, if any, specialized tooling. Fixturing is generally accomplished with common fixtures that allow for quick and inexpensive configuration changes.

Reduced Fastener Count. Reduce cost by reducing fastening and the labor to complete assemblies through conventional means.

Improved Structural Integrity. Vacuum brazing offers a continuous leak-tight and EMI shielded joint even with a variety of material thicknesses. Hermetic joints capable of 1 X10-9 std cc/min Helium leak rate.

Better Conductivity. As the vacuum brazed joint is aluminum, electrical and thermal conductivity is clearly better than that achieved with an adhesive bonded or mechanically attached assembly.

Less Distortion. The braze process heats all components uniformly, thus yielding less distortion than that of a welded part.

Lower Cost. The vacuum brazed process yields the lowest cost given the superior characteristics achieved.

Design Freedom. The design engineer will enjoy a greater range of options using the vacuum brazed process. Intricate internal passages are produced, facilitating advanced thermal management solutions.
