Brazing joins metals by flowing a thin capillary thickness layer of non-ferrous filler metal into the space between them. Bonding results from the intimate contact produced by the dissolution of a small amount of base metal into the molten filler metal, without fusion of the base metal. The term brazing is used when the temperature exceeds some arbitrary value, typically 880 degrees Fahrenheit (470 degrees Celcius).*
Vacuum brazing furnaces enable manufacturers to create simple-to-complex single- and multi-joint assemblies by providing a controlled vacuum atmosphere that supports the brazing process. Once parts are cleaned and coated with a brazing filler metal, they are inserted into the oven, which heats up to the desired temperature and removes air to prevent oxidation and contamination.
Gasbarre specializes in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered brazing furnaces specific to the thermal processing industry. We develop each of our products with quality and reliability in mind, producing durable, high-powered aluminum brazing furnaces and other equipment solutions that companies can trust.
Gasbarre furnaces are:
Gasbarre’s complete line of brazing furnaces is listed below.
Gasbarre is a leading manufacturer of continuous mesh belt (or conveyor belt) furnaces and will custom-design to your particular specifications and application. These ovens include numerous innovative features and are ideal for everything from annealing to brazing to enameling to sintering.
Expandability and versatility make this furnace an attractive selection for many thermal processing needs with growth in mind. These continuous vacuum furnaces enable dual-side entry loading and exit and have numerous specialized chambers.
This design is beneficial to processes that require the use of hydrogen atmosphere, an extremely light gas. When heavy air seeps into the furnace’s entry and exit doors, it remains isolated from the elevated chambers containing the hydrogen.
The C.I. Hayes CVCQ-LAM vacuum sintering furnace uniquely combines atmosphere delubrication and vacuum sintering. It is compatible with other ovens and auxiliary equipment and is suitable for numerous metallurgical processes.
This C.I. Hayes furnace is known for its compact design and for its popularity for brazing and bright annealing of jewelry pieces. It is easy to install and designed with process and maintenance considerations in mind.
Designed for many thermal processes, the electrically heated batch vacuum furnace is available in a multitude of configurations, including single- and dual-chamber options. This batch vacuum furnace is built for high-temperature applications and metallurgical processes like hardening, sintering and carbonitriding.
This C.I. Hayes furnace is a horizontally loaded, electrically heated, versatile batch furnace that may be programmed to run simple or complex thermal profile recipes. This model is optimized to generate a uniform heating environment that enables workload cooling at various pressures.
This C.I. Hayes vacuum furnace with isolated gas quench is quite versatile, designed for a wide range of heat treat applications. It allows for fast and smooth workload transfer and achieves excellent heating uniformity.
This C.I. Hayes vacuum furnace with isolated oil quench is quite versatile, designed for a wide range of heat treat applications. Like its gas/pressure counterpart, this equipment heats materials evenly and consistently while delivering seamless and efficient product transfer.
