Induction brazing

(at 650 - 900°C)
In this process the heat required to melt the brazing alloy is generated by electric induction and only in the area of the induction coil, i.e. the component is not heated all over. Induction brazing is a highly accurate and reproducible process used, for example, for brazing cooling air tubes or oil tubes into casings and connecting components.
