Induction Brazing
Induction brazing is a thermal joining process where heat is introduced locally and quickly via electromagnetic induction. It enables automated and precise processes.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
Induction brazing uses a coil with an electric current running through it. This creates a magnetic field that induces heat in a metal part. The heat is applied only locally near the workpiece, resulting in rapid heating and even warm-up.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Induction brazing is especially suitable for processing thin sheet metal pieces. It avoids the risk of hot cracking and allows precise temperature control. However, uneven heating can cause stresses that may lead to cracking or distortion.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use induction brazing for thin-walled metal parts. Make sure the metal part is in good contact with the heating element and the coil is correctly positioned. Start with a low temperature and increase it slowly to ensure even heating. Monitor the temperature continuously and avoid overheating to prevent distortion or cracking.
