BRAZING DEVELOPMENT & PROTOTYPING
Brazing Development & Prototyping
From first trial to a production-ready process
New components, unfamiliar materials or a tricky joint design often can’t be solved on paper. In our in-house trial brazing lab, we work out the right combination of braze alloy, flux and heating method for your application through real trial runs on your actual parts — before the process ever reaches series production.
Real trial runs, not guesswork
We test your actual components in our trial brazing lab, refining the process over several runs until the joint is right.
The right alloy, flux and method
We match braze alloy, flux and heating method — induction or flame — to your material, geometry and requirements.
Decades of process know-how
Experience across many materials and joint designs means fewer trial-and-error loops before your part is production-ready.
Have a new brazing challenge?
Send us your drawings or a sample part and we’ll discuss the right approach for developing a reliable brazing process for your application.
This trial-and-development stage is where most brazing problems are actually solved. We look at joint design and accessibility, select candidate filler metals and fluxes, and run small batches under varying temperature profiles and atmospheres to see how the joint actually behaves — strength, fillet formation, discoloration, distortion — rather than relying on datasheet values alone.
This service is typically the starting point for customers who later move into our outsourcing and series production, or who want to validate a new joint design before scaling up an existing induction, flame or PCD/CBN/PCBN brazing process. It also works well as a one-off feasibility study if you simply need to know whether a part can be brazed reliably at all. All development work follows the same ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, certified by DEKRA Certification GmbH, that governs our production orders, so results transfer directly into series manufacturing.
What We Actually Test
Trial runs vary the things a datasheet can’t tell you in advance: joint gap and assembly gap (the clearance that determines how well capillary action pulls filler metal into the joint), heating profile and brazing time, and — where flux is involved — how much oxide it can dissolve before it saturates. We check the result against what the finished part actually needs: tensile strength, leak-tightness, appearance, or dimensional stability after heating. See our brazing glossary for definitions of these terms.
When to Start Here
This is the right starting point whenever a part, material combination or joint design hasn’t been brazed before — a new product, a material substitution, or a joint that failed elsewhere and needs a different approach. Once the process is validated on real samples, it carries directly into outsourcing & series production without having to be re-developed at volume.
