Applied Thermal is a NADCAP accredited company that began in 1992 to service the medical and specialty products industries in Northern Indiana and has since expanded nationally, including the state of California.
Ceramic brazing is one of the best ways to join ceramics with other ceramics or with common metals. Ceramics are often very difficult to join, but brazing can make it very simple. Active metal ceramic brazing can be used to join difficult materials such as carbide, diamond, sapphire, alumina and zirconia. Titanium brazing is used in the aerospace, medical, automotive, and consumer industries and also has many military applications.
NADCAP is a global cooperative standards-setting program for the aerospace, defense, and related industries. NADCAP is dedicated to providing international, unbiased certification services for the purpose of providing the public with added value and reduced total cost. Accreditation is required by many national and international manufacturers, and is a mark of prestige that represents superior performance and use of industry standards and leading technology. NADCAP accreditation is an important part of the heat treating industry.
Titanium brazing is best performed in a vacuum furnace. Vacuum furnace brazing is superior to welding because it creates clean, flux-free joints that provide high integrity and strength. Temperature uniformity is maintained while heating the work piece in a vacuum, which greatly reduces residual stresses in the metals. Vacuum and furnace brazing use slow heating and cooling cycles, which increases the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Contact us today to learn more!
