Furnace Brazing

Improving the quality of brazed joints while reducing total atmosphere costs in furnace brazing

Furnace brazing requires atmospheres to facilitate excellent braze joints and better surface quality in mass production. Our technologies enable companies to control and optimise furnace conditions to achieve higher productivity and increased surface quality. In addition, optimised atmosphere compositions reduce total costs.

CARBOTHAN® nitrogen/methanol-based system

CARBOTHAN® is a nitrogen/methanol-based atmosphere system, which generates a very flexible, high-quality atmosphere for carburising, neutral hardening, annealing and sintering of steel. The CARBOTHAN atmosphere system includes methanol storage and supply, flow control, injection and distribution to the furnace.

Highlights:

  • Reduced energy consumption and floor space requirements
  • Shorter conditioning and shut-down times
  • Easy reduction of gas consumption during idle times
  • No resources needed for supervision and maintenance
  • Safe gas supply and distribution system

HYDROFLEX® supply system

Our HYDROFLEX® system monitors the atmosphere in continuous and batch furnaces and controls the volumes of gases introduced into the furnace (hydrogen and nitrogen). HYDROFLEX ensures optimum gas mixtures and provides advanced atmosphere control and monitoring for higher quality annealing.

Highlights:

  • Clean and bright product surface
  • Reduced hydrogen consumption
  • Active control over process parameters
  • Full control over the supplied gas composition
  • Less rework and rejection costs
  • Idle mode during downtime to ensure atmosphere quality
  • Automatic safety purging and safe hydrogen operation
