Key Technologies
  • Vacuum Heat Treatment: Provides precise and efficient heat treatment processes.
  • Atmosphere and Aluminum Thermal Processing: Offers tailored solutions for specific industry needs.
  • Controlled Atmosphere Brazing: Specializes in aluminum heat exchangers.
  • Vacuum Metallurgy: Delivers high-quality metallurgy processes for various applications.
Vacuum Aluminum Brazing (VAB)
VAB technology is noted for its environmental benefits and process cleanliness, eliminating the need for flux by using magnesium to enhance vacuum purity and reduce aluminum oxide. It is ideal for complex shapes and various aluminum grades.
Benefits of VAB
  • Eliminates flux costs and application.
  • Reduces potential corrosion spots.
  • Environmentally friendly with repeatable results.
  • Produces high-quality, residue-free products.
Materials and Industries
VAB is applicable to all aluminum alloys suitable for flux-brazing, including some magnesium-containing alloys, serving industries like HVAC&R, automotive, aviation, railway, electronics, and power generation.
VAB Technology Products
  • VAB Multi-Chamber: Offers high efficiency and short brazing times with a modular design for large production volumes.
  • Batch VAB: Designed for aerospace and commercial processing, suitable for larger heat exchangers.
  • Vacuum Furnace for Oil Removal: Ensures cleanliness before brazing by removing oil through controlled heating and a multi-zone system.
  • R&D VAB Furnaces: Allows testing of new aluminum alloys and exploration of heat treatment advancements.
Introduction to VAB Furnaces
The document highlights the development of a new furnace for VAB trials and processes by the R&D department, enabling independent testing of VAB technology and verification of new aluminum alloys, marking a significant advancement in heat treatment testing.

Vacuum aluminum brazing has a very narrow range of acceptable process temperatures. As a rule of thumb, the VACUUM ALUMINUM BRAZING filler metal must liquefy before the base metal reaches solidus Known for years, the VAB technology is gaining in importance very small (5-10 ºC), so the process temperature profile and due to its environmental friendliness and process cleanliness. the furnace’s ability to achieve it are critical. VAB furnaces provide reliable and repeatable brazing results in a wide range of furnaces tailored to customer expectations and requirements. The VAB furnace with fluxless...
