Induction Brazing Equipment
What is induction brazing?
Induction brazing is a process that uses induction heating to join two or more metals. Induction heating uses an electromagnetic field to provide heat without contact or flame. Induction brazing is more localized, repeatable and easier to automate than traditional torch brazing.
Induction brazing has been around for a long time, but is only now becoming widely available due to advances in induction heating power sources.
The principle of induction brazing is similar to that of a transformer, where the inductor is the primary winding and the heated part acts as a single-turn secondary winding.
