As an advanced welding equipment, vacuum brazing furnace has significant advantages and characteristics, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Advantage

High welding quality:

Welding is carried out in a vacuum environment, effectively avoiding reactions between the workpiece and oxygen, nitrogen, etc. in the air, thereby reducing defects such as oxidation and nitriding, and improving the strength and sealing of the welded joint.

The vacuum environment can effectively eliminate defects such as porosity and slag inclusion during the welding process, making the welded joint denser and more uniform.

Wide applicability:

The vacuum brazing furnace is suitable for welding various metal materials, including refractory metals, active metals, and welding between dissimilar metals.

For workpieces with complex shapes and structures, vacuum brazing can also achieve good welding results.

Precise control:

Vacuum brazing furnaces are usually equipped with advanced control systems that can accurately control parameters such as temperature, time, and vacuum degree during the welding process.

This precise control ensures the stability and repeatability of the welding process, improving the quality and consistency of the product.

Environmental protection and energy conservation:

During the vacuum brazing process, no flux is required or only a small amount of environmentally friendly flux is used, reducing the emission of harmful substances.

Meanwhile, due to the good insulation effect of the vacuum environment, energy loss is reduced and energy utilization efficiency is improved.

Characteristic

Low temperature welding:

The welding temperature of brazing is usually lower than the melting point of the base material, which can reduce the deformation and residual stress of the workpiece, especially suitable for workpieces with strict deformation requirements.

Protecting the Atmosphere:

The vacuum environment itself is an excellent protective atmosphere, which can effectively prevent the workpiece from being contaminated and oxidized during the welding process.

High degree of automation:

Modern vacuum brazing furnaces typically have highly automated functions, such as automatic loading, unloading, and temperature control, which improve production efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

Observability:

Some vacuum brazing furnaces are also equipped with observation windows or video surveillance systems, allowing operators to observe changes in the workpiece in real time during the welding process to ensure welding quality.

In summary, vacuum brazing furnaces have been widely used in various fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, refrigeration equipment, medical devices, electronic appliances, etc. due to their advantages of high welding quality, wide applicability, precise control, environmental protection and energy saving, as well as low-temperature welding, protective atmosphere, high degree of automation, and observability.
