Note: Brazing carbide teeth to steel pipe jaw section

Objective:

Brazing carbide teeth to a steel jaw in less than 5 minutes

End Product:

Steel pipe jaw

Equipment:

Ambrell 1.0 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 pipe jaw, 0.5” (12.7mm) dia, 1.25” (31.75mm) long 0.25” (6.35mm) thick carbide teeth black flux silver copper braze shims

Temperature:

1292 ºF (700 ºC)

Frequency:

257kHz

Testing:

A two-turn rectangular helical coil is used to heat the carbide and steel to 1292ºF (700ºC) for 4 to 5 minutes. Three braze shims control the amount of braze and the even heat allows for a good flow of braze creating an aesthetically pleasing bond.  

Benefits:

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

  • Consistent, repeatable aesthetically pleasing brazes

  • Even distribution of heating
