Vacuum Braze Furnace

Haoyue is a leading supplier of brazing ovens and vacuum brazing furnaces nationwide. Used extensively in the manufacturing process of numerous industries, our brazing furnaces are involved in hundreds of applications. From multi-joint assemblies to turbine components for renewable energy, brazing ovens are sought after for their reproducibility, efficiency and control.

What Is A Brazing Furnace?

A vacuum brazing furnace joins two or more metal materials together. Using a dissimilar metal filler material, the brazing oven is heated until the filler metal begins to flow. As the component cools, the metal solidifies again and binds the materials together. The filler metal has a lower melting point than the materials being joined. Vacuum brazing furnaces remove oxygen from the heating chamber to prevent oxidation of the metals during the heating process. Filler metals are then brought up to brazing temperature, filling the space between joints due to capillary action. Removing the oxide layer prevents contamination while the brazing cycle doesn’t cause thermal distortion like other metal joining processes. A vacuum brazing oven consists of a double-walled heating chamber and a vacuum pump to remove oxygen from the vessel. Parts are loaded and sealed into the chamber and the temperature is raised to the melting point of the filler metal. The parts are then cooled, removed and inspected for quality.

What are the Components of a Vacuum Braze Furnace?

● Heating system: The heating system in a vacuum brazing furnace typically consists of heating elements such as molybdenum or graphite. These elements provide the necessary heat to raise the temperature of the furnace to the desired levels for the brazing process.

● Vacuum system: A vacuum system is an integral part of a vacuum brazing furnace. It helps to create and maintain a vacuum environment within the furnace chamber by removing air and gases. This is essential for preventing oxidation and ensuring clean and uncontaminated brazing joints.

● Chamber design: The chamber of a vacuum brazing furnace is designed to accommodate the parts being brazed. It is usually made of stainless steel or other high-temperature resistant materials to withstand the operating conditions. The chamber may also be equipped with fixtures, trays, or racks to hold the parts in place during the brazing process.

● Cooling system: After the brazing process is complete, a cooling system is used to cool down the parts and the furnace chamber. This helps to ensure that the brazed joints are properly solidified and the parts are ready for further processing or use.

● Control and monitoring system: A vacuum brazing furnace is equipped with a control and monitoring system to regulate the temperature, pressure, and other parameters during the brazing process. This system allows for precise control and adjustment of the furnace conditions, ensuring consistent and high-quality brazing results.

● Safety features: Vacuum brazing furnaces are equipped with various safety features to protect operators and prevent accidents. These may include insulation, interlock systems, emergency stop buttons, and alarms to detect abnormal conditions or malfunctions.

● Process considerations: The brazing process in a vacuum furnace is influenced by factors such as the choice of brazing alloy, heating rate, holding time, and cooling rate. These parameters are determined based on the specific requirements of the parts being brazed, including their material composition, size, and joint design.

Vacuum Brazing Furnace Advantages:

01. The vacuum environment can prevent oxidation and pollution and improve welding quality.

02. Precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution ensure the performance and reliability of welded joints.

03. The high degree of automation can improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

04. In the vacuum brazing furnace, the influence of heat source graphite on the temperature field is also one of the factors that needs to be considered. The shape, size, and arrangement of the heat source graphite will affect the temperature distribution and thermal efficiency in the furnace, thus affecting the welding quality.

How Brazing Ovens Are Used

A vacuum braze furnace is used as a finishing process for simple and complex components and assemblies. When one or more pieces of metal need to be combined into a single joint or assembly, brazing ovens are frequently used due to their many advantages over other metal joining processes. Utilizing a controlled heat cycle that eliminates part distortion allows for combining unweldable materials and reproducing parts at scale. A number of materials and metals utilize furnace brazing. Stainless steel components are frequently joined using a brazing oven to produce assemblies in a controlled atmosphere. Other metals, such as nickel, copper, and silver, can be used as braze filler metals.
