SECO/WARWICK received an order from a Polish company that specializes in the field of automotive engines, filters, electric equipment and cooling systems for a vacuum furnace for aluminum brazing. According to SECO/WARWICK, the furnace is designed specifically for vacuum brazing aluminum components and will be the largest of its kind in Poland. The customer provided detailed guidelines related to complex solutions in terms of automatic loading and transport of parts, along with precise control and uniformity of the temperature distribution.

 

SECO/VACUUM, a SECO/WARWICK Group brand, sold a vacuum aluminum brazing (VAB) furnace to an international aircraft component supplier. The furnace is designed to meet tight temperature tolerances of +/-3°C and incorporates a high-vacuum system with diffusion pump. The VAB furnace is equipped with six temperature control zones and can accommodate loads with dimensions up to 36 inches wide x 28 inches high x 48 inches deep (900 x 700 x 1,200 mm). Delivery is scheduled for early 2022.

Let’s conclude our discussion of magnesium and brazing.

Does magnesium (Mg) vaporization in a vacuum furnace only occur as a so-called “mag burst” near the brazing temperature of aluminum, or can it occur at lower temperatures?
