| HIGH
PRODUCTION RATES |
Depending
on their size, several assemblies can be dip brazed at one
time. It is not uncommon in dip brazing to braze several
hundred joints simultaneously in one assembly. The more complex
the assembly, the more advantageous the process becomes in
terms of high production rates and economy. |
| LOWER
EQUIPMENT AND TOOLING COSTS |
Assemblies
that would normally require expensive casting, machining
and tooling can be fabricated from low cost component parts
by brazing |
| MORE
FREEDOM OF DESIGN |
Braze
fabrication from stamping, draws, tubing, screw machine parts,
as well as machined or sheet metal assemblies make stronger,
lighter, more complex assemblies than could be produced by
any other method. |
| LOWER
FINISHING COSTS |
Finishing
costs are low because the as-brazed condition of assemblies
is smooth and clean and usually requires no other mechanical
finishing. |
| ENHANCES
ALUMINUM'S ADVANTAGES |
Aluminum
holds many advantages over other metals, such as weight,
corrosion resistance, cost per pound, heat, and electrical
conductivity, availability, etc. Dip brazing utilizes the
versatility, and broadens the scope of unique design and
cost savings possible in aluminum fabrication. |
| UNIFORM
METAL CONDITION LOW DISTORTION |
The
nature of the dip brazing provides oxide-free surfaces for
complete bonding. Extremely fast and uniform heating of all
metal thicknesses make possible dimensional stability exceeding
that of welding in machined parts and sheet metal applications. |
| HEAT
TREATABILITY |
When
the heat treatable alloys are used in a dip brazed assembly,
normal heat treating procedure may be followed. It is often
possible to solution heat treat by quenching from the dip
brazing bath, thereby saving a subsequent heat treating operation. |
