The Secrets Behind Durable Brazed Joint Connections
Brazed joints, the unsung heroes of industries like automotive and aerospace, connect metal parts and promise durability, but here’s the kicker: These joints need to be as reliable as your morning coffee, or they could spell disaster. So testing them is a big deal in all industries, especially in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical […]
The Role of Precision Machining and Brazing in Forging an Unbreakable Bond
To the uninitiated, brazing might seem like the unglamorous cousin of welding. But brazing isn’t child’s play. It’s a science that can be examined at various levels of granularity, from the molecular intricacies to the end result visible to the naked eye. While the process may seem straightforward, achieving perfection in brazing is far from […]
Why Trial and Error Won’t Cut It When It Comes to the Art of Metal Machining
In the world of durable products manufacturing, the challenges are real. Producing metal components that withstand the test of time and shine in quality is an absolute must. Even the tiniest glitch in the machining process can lead to a world of pain that includes costly defects, compromised product integrity, and heaven forbid, a one-way […]
Striking the Perfect Balance of Speed and Quality in Metal Parts Fabrication
In the world of metal parts fabrication, speed and quality are often seen as bitter rivals in a never-ending battle for supremacy. If you dare to dream of high-quality brazing and heat treating, be prepared to sacrifice speed at the altar. If you have a need for speed, brace yourself for a heartbreaking compromise on […]
A Closer Look: Testing a Brazed Part
You pride yourself on what products you offer and you want to have peace of mind about the quality of those products. When parts are released into the wild, will they stand up to the pressure of their environment or will they fail you? Testing your brazed parts can help offer this peace of mind. […]
Engineering for Brazing with Exotic Materials
Brazing is a process used to join dissimilar metals with a different metal alloy known as a filler metal placed in the joint. This process is very similar to welding. Except, in the case of brazing, the filler metal (alloy) comes in various forms, such as wire, foil, and powder, compared to welding, which only […]
The Role of Testing in Full Fabrication Process Management
Over the last few decades, quality control technologies have undergone a revolution of innovation. Computer-assisted scanning and modeling technologies allow technicians to see, in real time, a level of detail and accuracy that was unthinkable even 20 years ago. Despite the tech, quality control is still a bugaboo for plenty of manufacturers. A widely distributed […]
