Note: Brazing Carbide Tips to a Meat Cutter

Objective:

Attaching carbide cutters to a steel meat cutter impeller

End Product:

steel meat cutter impeller

Equipment:

Ambrell 20 kW induction heating systems including induction heating coil workhead: two-cap 1.0µF (Total 0.5 µF)

Materials:

carbide blocks steel shank fitting 

Temperature:

1400 °F (760 °C)

Frequency:

219 kHz

Testing:

The entire part is placed in a five-turn helical coil, the power is applied until the part is heated to the required temperature and a uniform heat pattern is achieved. The coil allows for easy fixturing and uniformity of heating between the carbide and the steel shank for a premium braze joint.

Benefits:

  • Precision: Due to the size of the induction coil, the process allows for precise placement of the carbides on the steel shanks

  • Economy: Power is consumed only during the heat cycle

  • Repeatability: joint quality is maintained in this repeatable process
