Induction brazing
Induction technology has proven valuable in brazing processes for many reasons. First of all, the fast advance and precise thermal control allow local heating of components without significantly changing the material properties. In addition, it allows brazing of materials such as aluminum, as well as sequential, multi-alloy brazing, and the welding of close joints.
Induction brazing is versatile and suitable for unique production lines. Thanks to our modular design concept, our equipment can be strategically placed for your facility. Induction brazing equipment simplifies the process of fixing parts, thus freeing the operator's hands and extending the life of the equipment.
Induction brazing equipment for a wide range of applications
Induction welding and brazing involves introducing an electromagnetic field into a metal body to heat the joint between components and melt the alloy at a temperature lower than the component's melting temperature. Induction welding and brazing machines form higher quality, gas-tight and watertight joints with less oxidation and cleaning than joints made using flame heating techniques.

What is induction heating equipment
Induction heating provides a controlled method of localized heating without touching the part (component) being heated. Heat is generated by inducting an alternating magnetic field into a conductive material. Induction heating technology has very low operating costs and often results in significant cost savings compared to other traditional process heating technologies.

This highly efficient technology uses non-contact heating to induce heat electromagnetically rather than using a propane torch or resistance heating. Through induction, the part becomes its own heating element and is heated from within. This makes induction very efficient because there is virtually no heat loss in the process.
The time to reach temperature is much faster than with flame or resistance heating - reducing cycle time. Set-up and tear-down times are fast, and unlike flame or resistance, induction allows continuous heating and fabrication.
Induction heating reduces operating costs because the target temperature is reached much faster, resulting in lower consumable costs and labor expenses. In addition, it eliminates the cost of gas, firefighters and heating subcontractors.
Provides excellent joint temperature uniformity. Induction eliminates the inconsistencies and quality problems associated with flame or resistance heating.
Welders are not exposed to open flames, explosive gases, and the high temperature elements associated with flame and resistance heating. Heat transfer methods create a cooler environment, which reduces operator fatigue and improves working conditions.
Whatever your heating needs are, you can be almost certain that TY Induction has the equipment to meet them. And just in case we don't, we can sit down with you to design your own custom induction heating solution.
Induction brazing is a process that uses induction heating to join two or more metals. Induction heating uses an electromagnetic field to provide heat without contact or flame. Induction brazing is more localized, repeatable and easier to automate than traditional torch brazing.
Induction brazing has been around for a long time, but is only now becoming widely available due to advances in induction heating power sources.
The principle of induction brazing is similar to that of a transformer, where the inductor is the primary winding and the heated part acts as a single-turn secondary winding.

Induction hardening uses induction heating and rapid cooling (quenching) to increase the hardness and durability of steel. Induction is a non-contact process that produces intense, localized and controlled heat quickly. By induction, only the part to be hardened is heated. Optimal results are achieved by optimizing the heating cycle, frequency, and process parameters such as coil and quench design.
What are the advantages of induction hardening
Induction hardening increases throughput. It is a very fast and repeatable process that can be easily integrated into a production line. It is clean, safe and usually has a small footprint. Workpieces are usually treated individually. This ensures that each individual workpiece is hardened to its own exact specifications. The optimized process parameters for each part can be stored on your server. Induction hardening is very energy efficient because only the part to be hardened is heated.
