Excellence in Aerospace and Defence Heat Treatment
Vacuum Aluminum Brazing is a unique technology that bonds two aluminum components using braze foil which melts below the base materials melting temperature. It uses capillary action to flow between the mating surfaces creating a unique metallurgical bond without corrosive residual flux.
The process has tightly controlled tolerances providing repeatability with superior bonding characteristics including void free , high strength leak free joints able to stand up to 50 Bar or over 900 PSI of Pressure. The process also provides better conductivity compared to mechanical bonding with less distortion and design freedom when it comes to engineering complex designs for Aerospace or Aircraft Applications.
Currently this technology is under development at Heat Treatment Australia with commercialization and industry availability expected late 2011.
