Brazing & Soldering

Brazing and soldering can both be made more efficient by applying induction heating. In just seconds, Lepel's induction heating process can produce the cleanest, most reliable joints possible for your part. Lepel’s systems can be easily integrated into your line with continuous automatic feeds and may be designed to provide heat at multiple locations simultaneously.

Brazing
The induction heating process achieves accurate, uniform consistency in brazing applications. As a result, quality is increased while scrap is reduced. Localized heating pinpoints the area to be brazed, while protecting other areas from the high temperatures used. Since there is no product contact, there is little opportunity for breakage. In addition, oxidation and discoloration are minimized, often eliminating the need for a controlled atmosphere.

Special circuitry may be added for 2-power level heating, one for rapid heating of the filler to the melting point and the other for allowing material flow without overheating. Temperature monitoring and/or control is also available for better process accuracy and repeatability.

Soldering
The accurate temperature control provided by induction heating is a key benefit in soldering applications, which often involve softer materials that can disintegrate if overexposed to heat.
