Induction Brazing
What Is Induction Brazing
Brazing is the joining of metals using heat and a filler alloy that melts above 850 degrees F. The braze joint is created by a metallurgical bond between the filler alloy and the metals being joined. The molten filler alloy is drawn through the joint by means of capillary action. Induction heating provides a clean, flameless and repeatable method of brazing metal parts. Properly set up each part is brought to temperature uniformly to produce the best possible braze joint with minimal operator skill required.

Why Magneforce Induction Brazing
Magneforce specializes in custom brazing applications. When setting up an induction heating system, our in house CNC machining & 3D printing capabilities enable fast turnaround on heating coils and processing fixtures. We design and test the setup for your parts, fine tuning as needed to focus the heating as required to produce high quality braze joints part after part.
​
Magneforce Heat Station induction heating systems are used for brazing carbide to steel, diamond tool brazing, hydraulic tube fittings and many more brass, steel, copper and stainless steel assemblies.
No Charge Sample Processing
We will process your sample parts and return them to you for evaluation. All process parameters including heating power, heating time and temperature. Setup pictures and/or videos will also be included.
A carbide die is set up for testing. The heating
coil is made to fit the die for the evaluation.
35 Years Experience
Magneforce has supplied thousands of induction heating systems since 1990 for brazing, soldering, annealing and many other applications.
Custom Heating Coil Manufacturing
Proper heating coil design is essential to any induction brazing process. Small changes in the coil can make the difference between good and bad braze joints.
We manufacture all heating coils in house, enabling rapid prototypes and the ability to refine the coil design and focus heating as required.
Induction brazing coils are made
in many shapes & sizes. The coils
are typically ceramic coated to
handle the high brazing temperature.
Made In The USA
All Magneforce induction heating systems for brazing are manufactured and serviced at our facility in Warren, Ohio, USA.
Induction Brazing Advantages
No Open Flame
The high temperature open flame of an oxyacetylene torch presents significant safety and fire hazards
Reduce Operator Skill Required
Torch brazing requires a trained and experienced operator. With induction welding, the operator just needs to load the parts into the fixture and hit the ON button.
Reduce Costs
Energy is only used when the system is actively heating. No expensive oxygen and acetylene needed.
Cleaner Parts
Overheated or burned flux or metal can be very difficult to remove. An improperly set torch can add soot contaminating and pitting the braze joint. Induction heats cleanly below the surface of the metal.
4 carbide teeth are brazed to the steel body of this debarking tool. The assembly is brought to brazing temperature and then held there to allow braze flow without overheating and burning the flux & part.
Improve Part Quality
It is easy to produce a "cold joint" where the completed bond may look good but is mechanically weak. A properly setup induction brazing process eliminates cold joints.
High pressure hydraulic fittngs are brazed to steel tubing. The coil is made to heat the fitting & tubing evenly so the braze alloy is pulled into the capillary for optimum strength & easy cleanup.
No Contact Required
Some processes, such as resistance welding, require contact of an electrode with the part. Surface conditions and electrode wear can cause inconsistent heating. Induction brazing is non contact, providing repeatable heating.
Induction Brazing Systems
We can supply basic, cost effective process fixtures and part nests to complete your process or complete systems ready to run .
A large cutting tool base is mounted on a stainless fixture plate that locates the tool & holds it in place. Carbide inserts are positioned and the ceramic coated heating coil drops over the part. At the end of the heat cycle the coil raises back up to enable easy part removal.
