PVT Incorporated has been manufacturing vacuum heating and induction melting systems for nearly 50 years. PVT specializes in systems for fluxless aluminum, stainless steel and superalloy brazing with controls designed to facilitate customers' accreditation to AMS2750F and Nadcap standards.

Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems rebuilt and shipped a 24-inch, four-zone continuous mesh-belt brazing furnace for an automotive-parts supplier in Mexico. The rebuild included a new 330 stainless steel muffle, new silicon-carbide heating elements, new cooling sections and new furnace controls to meet CQI-9 requirements. The CQI-9 controls package includes data acquisition, preventive-maintenance alerts, remote connectivity, furnace parameter trending and temperature deviation alarms. Gasbarre will provide ongoing service and support for the company in Mexico.

BrazeLet 9007/9017 water-based pastes are flux-free, contain low polymer content and prevent oxidation of the filler metal.
