Precision Brazing Capabilities
 ALUMINUM BRAZING
J.
Kittredge & Sons is industry approved to perform vacuum & dip brazing, welding,
heat treating, and chemical film coating of aluminum alloys.
Dip brazing is the universally
accepted process for fabricating aluminum assemblies. As dip brazing is an
immersion process, every joint, regardless of how intricate or complex the
assembly may be, is brazed. The strength of these joints are, in most cases,
as strong as the base metal itself. Also, as dip brazing subjects the entire
assembly to uniform heating, there is minimal physical distortion, allowing
for consistent dimensional accuracy. Dip brazing can reduce, and in some
cases, eliminate costly post machining operations. Through the continual upgrading
of our equipment, and training of our technicians, we have become an industry
leader in the dip brazing field.
Vacuum
brazing is a process in which aluminum components are joined together using
alloy filler metal processed
within a heat controlled vacuum chamber. The process recipe, once developed,
will yield consistent results from first to last part.
Vacuum Brazing offers many advantages over other aluminum joining
techniques. These include:–
 |
Excellent
for liquid & high-density fin cold plates and heat exchanger applications. |
|
High
pressure and hermetic seal capability even in thin wall designs. |
|
Compatible
with welding processes and structural bonding to increase design
flexibility.– |
|
No
salt corrosion or post-braze cleaning issues due to flux free processing.– |
|
Leak
tight, high-strength braze joints that approach near parent material
properties.– |
|
Computer
controlled processing for consistent product quality. –Multiple
assembly batch processing for efficiency. |
|
Inaccessible
internal flow path braze joints can be brazed. |
|
Effective
stress relief of brazed assemblies. |
If you have an aluminum fabrication application,
no matter how complex, find out what countless other companies in such fields
as computers, medical and aerospace communications have found, dip brazing
is the answer.

WAVE GUIDE
Assembling
and dip brazing wave guide assemblies is an art within itself. It is critical
to the electrical performance of these assemblies that each joint not only
be brazed with a minimal internal fillet, but also the misalignment between
components must be held to an absolute minimum. J. Kittredge & Sons employs
technicians that are not only capable of dip brazing complex wave guide
assemblies, but also of straightening them. Our expertise ranges from dip
brazing simple filters and rotary joints to complex wave guide assemblies.
