Reduced Tooling Cost. The
vacuum brazing process uses
little if any specialized
tooling. Fixturing is
generally accomplished with
common fixtures that allow
for quick and inexpensive
configuration changes. |
|
|
Reduced Fastener Count.
Reduce cost by reducing
fastening and the labor to
complete assemblies through
conventional means. |
|
|
Improved Structural
Integrity. Vacuum brazing
offers a continuous
leak-tight and EMI shielded
joint even with a variety of
material thicknesses.
Hermetic joints capable of 1
X10-9 std cc/min Helium leak
rate. |
|
|
Better Conductivity. As the
vacuum brazed joint is
aluminum, electrical and
thermal conductivity is
clearly better than that
achieved with an adhesive
bonded or mechanically
attached assembly.
|
|
|
Less Distortion. The braze
process heats all components
uniformly thus yielding less
distortion than that of a
welded part. |
|
|
Lower Cost. The vacuum
brazed process yields the
lowest cost given the
superior characteristics
achieved. |
|
|
Design Freedom. The design engineer
will enjoy a greater range of
options using the vacuum brazed
process. Intricate internal passages
are produced facilitating advanced
thermal management solutions. |
