Note: Brazing Faucet Assemblies
Objective:
Brazing several brass and copper water faucet assemblies
End Product:
Water faucets
Equipment:
Ambrell 7.5kW induction heating system, remote work head with two 1 μF capacitors and a 3-turn helical coil
Materials:
Brass components braze white flux
Temperature:
1350 °F 730 °C
Frequency:
160 or 277 kHz (coil dependent)
Testing:
Three helical coils are used separately to braze a range of provided parts. Parts are assembled with flux and a braze alloy and then heated. The heat time varies from part to part with large parts taking less than 3 minutes and, the smaller parts heated in less than 20 seconds. After heating the parts are quench-cooled.
Benefits:
-
Repeatability: the inherent precision of induction heating supports a process which is highly repeatable.
-
Economy: the process allows for the use of higher temperature braze alloy than a flame process
