UltraFlex Power Technologies

A recent test application by UltraFlex demonstrated the efficiency of using induction for brazing of parts manufactured for the HVAC industry.

An UltraFlex demo application recently set up per request of a potential customer from the Oil & Gas industry helped evaluate the best induction heating equipment and heating parameters for the brazing of a stainless steel and gold wire assembly.

The test application proved that by using induction, the annealing process could be fully automated, achieving a short heat cycle and consistent, repeatable results, independent of the operator skills.

The test setup concluded that by using induction, the customer would ensure a fast, safe, energy- and cost-efficient soldering process.

This induction-based shrink-fitting process was fast, energy- and cost-efficient and produced consistent, repeatable results, independent of the operator skills.

This test setup allowed the customer to fully evaluate the heating parameters and induction heater needed to braze all 4 different piping assemblies.

By using induction heating for this shrink-fitting process, the customer could achieve high-quality and repeatable results, with short heat cycle times that would allow him to increase the productivity.

This customer-requested demonstration proved that by using induction to braze the copper assemblies, the customer would achieve consistent and repeatable results, with high energy- and cost-efficiency of the brazing process.

Due to the reduced induction heating cycle, productivity could be increased, with no dependency on the operator skills.

The test applications set up by UltraFlex proved the possibility to use induction heating to efficiently braze parts of different size and material.
