Note: Braze a diamond carbide tip onto band saw blade

Objective:

Heat a metal saw blade and diamond carbide for brazing application. 

End Product:

Band saw blade

Equipment:

Ambrell 1 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing one 0.66μF capacitor. An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application. 

Materials:

Steel band saw blade 0.49” (12.4mm) thick with 0.235” (5.9mm) deep tooth and 0.12” (3mm) cutout for carbide placement diamond carbide tip black flux. 

Temperature:

1350 ºF (732 ºC)

Frequency:

390 kHz

Testing:

A single-turn helical coil is used for this brazing process. The saw blade and diamond carbide tip are placed in the coil and heat is applied for 4 seconds to create strong braze. 

Benefits:

  • Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing

  • Increased production rates

  • Ability to heat small, precise area without affecting metallurgical characteristics

  • Even distribution of heating
