Dissimilar Metal Bonding via Electron Beam Brazing

By virtue of the high vacuum, some dissimilar metals are ideally suited for Electron Beam brazing. Protective fluxes and braze fillers are no longer needed and post braze clean-up is not required, hence the brazed assembly comes out expressly clean and vacuum tight.

The assembly is subject to only quick, localized heating as opposed to oven brazing which anneals the entire work piece. Due to the elimination of costly preparations and oven time, Electron Beam brazing can be much less expensive than vacuum oven brazing depending on the application.

Applied Fusion regularly brazes Copper to Stainless Steels, Titanium to Tantalum, Stainless Steel to Molybdenum and Copper to Tantalum. Applied Fusion has also developed numerous variations of Electron Beam brazing of Aluminum to Stainless Steel which we named the “Trision”™ process.
