Why Magneforce Induction Brazing Systems
35 Years Experience
Magneforce has supplied thousands of induction heating systems since 1990 for brazing, soldering, annealing and many other applications.
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.
Custom Heating Coil Manufaturing
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.
Made In The USA
All Magneforce induction heating systems for brazing are manufactured and serviced at our facility in Warren, Ohio, USA.
Process Verification
Turnkey Systems
We can supply basic, cost effective process fixtures and part nests to complete your process or complete systems ready to run .
Magneforce Heat Station induction heating systems provide verification that the required heat has been delivered. Our HS2500R2TS and HS5000R2TS induction heaters include a touchscreen and internal PLC to enable data logging of critical process parameters.
Induction Heating 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.
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.
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.
Carbide Insert Brazing
Die Brazing
Large Cutter Brazing System
Induction Brazing provides a clean, flameless, repeatable method of brazing metal parts. Properly setup and fixtured each part is brought to temperature uniformly to produce the best braze joint. In many cases, the initial equipment and setup cost of induction heating is prohibitive. Unless the volume or the value of the finished part is high induction may not be the way to go. If it is, 3 things are essential.
​ * the correct induction heater is used
* the heating coil has been properly designed & fabricated.
* the part is fixtured so that it is located in the heating coil the same every time and the fixture has minimal effect on the heating process.
Magneforce specializes in custom brazing applications. When setting up an induction heating system, our in house CNC maching & 3D printing capabilities enable fast turnaround on heating coils and processing fixtures. Developing a heating coil that correctly focues the magnetic field on a part is not an exact science. Heating the end of a steel rod with a circular coil is pretty basic, evenly heating a complex geometry is not. It may be required to revise an initial heating coil several times to get it right.
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.
