Carbide Heating with Induction Heating
Improve your carbide heating process without flame! Induction heating focuses energy in your part only. You don't need a torch or a costly batch or furnace process. Carbide tip your materials in a repeatable, precise flameless process.
Popular Carbide Heating Application Notes
carbide-tipping a copper block and carbide to create a contact shoe assembly
Induction completed the carbide carbide-tipping process more rapidly than an oven, delivering heat exactly where it’s needed, operating instant on/instant off.
carbide-tipping carbide tips to a steel cutter
The cutter was held in a vice and the coil was presented to heat the assembly. A ceramic rod was used to press the carbide tip onto steel cutter during carbide-tipping.
Brazing a carbide ball to a spring for a motor armature
To heat a tungsten carbide ball and steel rod that acts as a spring to 1300 ºF (704 ºC) within five seconds for a brazing application to create a part that governs the armature position in a motor...
Heat a steel block with a cutout for carbide for a brazing application
Induction delivers improved quality and repeatability; client was using a torch and induction offered more precise, repeatable heating. In addition, this allowed the client to achieve the targeted heating time of 60 seconds, faster than what the torch could deliver.
Brazing carbide insert to steel pipe gripper chuck
Induction heating is proposed to braze carbide inserts into steel blocks in the assembly of pipe gripper chuck. To replace a hand/flame process, delivering significant reduction in per-part cycles.
Brazing a steel coupler and a steel wire
Induction heating enabled the brazing process to be completed within 30 seconds. The client was using a torch, and induction offers superior repeatability with no open flame and delivering heat only where it’s required.
Brazing a carbide to a stainless steel shaft for a digger used in mining
A three turn helical coil is used to braze the carbide to the shaft. The steel shaft is fluxed and the braze shim placed on top. The carbide tip is fluxed and placed on top of the shim, lining up the countersunk hole in the carbide. The hole is not fluxed because the flux outgases and causes the carbide to build up pressure and attempt to repel from the shaft.
Brazing a carbide cone to a stainless steel shaft for a gripper
A three-turn helical coil is used to braze the carbide to the stainless steel shaft. A silver solder washer is placed over the post on the shaft, the carbide is placed on the washer and flux is applied...
Braze a carbide tip to steel cutting tool
A split helical coil is used to heat the carbide & circular steel cutter evenly for the brazing application. The circular steel cutter is placed in a vise and the carbide and braze shim are placed onto the tooth...
Braze a diamond carbide tip onto band saw blade
A single turn helical coil is used for this brazing process. The saw blade and diamond carbide tip are placed in the coil...
