C/C Composite Springs are ideal for vacuum Brazing jig applications. A C/C springs allows for very precise, distributed and increased force on a jig assembly during brazing. C/C springs are not limited to brazing use only. They are ideal for fixtures or applications that requires some form pressure applied during heat-treatment.
If you are primally using brazing jigs then there are number of positive reasons to switch from a traditional metal Brazing jig and dead weight setups to a C/C jig and spring setup. C/C Brazing jigs that utilise a C/C Springs allow you to remove a weight. Typically a dead weight is used to apply pressure during the brazing cycle. Dead weights do not always allow for adequate pressure to be applied and the weight limits how many products can be brazed at any one time . The weight reduction has huge benefits to Heat-treatment operators and production output. By reducing the weight you can increase the number of jigs per cycle thus increasing your overall output.
Our springs also allow for increased force to be added during the brazing cycle. The force is equally distributed and provides better control across the entire product being brazed. (Heat exchanged, oil coolers for example) Because the force is better controlled than just using the brute force of a dead weight. You find that the brazing results are a very good when compared to a traditional jig setup.
C/C Spring overview
- Reducing energy consumption due to the reduced mass
- Stock sizes or custom designed. Your spring and jig will be specifically designed for your needs
- Sizes; OD 30 or 50mm, with an ID of 22mm
- length; 40L mm or custom requirements
- More units per Brazing cycle due to the reduced sizes of the C/C Composite vacuum Brazing Jig
- Better brazing results
- No thermal deformation
