• Precision furnace control
• Contaminant free clean surfaces
• Esthetically pleasing joint
• Uniform braze fillet
• Uniform bonding across entire mating surface
• High tensile strength joint
• Thermally conductive joint
• Electrically conductive joint
• Brazed joint is hermetic to >10-10 vacuum scale

Joining/Material Processing Capabilities:

• Precision Vacuum Brazing of Aluminum
• RF Brazing
• Diffusion Bonding
• Welding
• Annealing
• Passivation
• De-carburizing

Contract Manufacturing - Over time we have developed a very well honed supply base that enables us to offer our customers turnkey manufacturing capability with all the assurances of our being able to produce a high quality product that is delivered on time, every time, in spec. and is price competitive in the marketplace.
