Improve Brazing Process, Improve Productivity

Our team of experts can provide a braze evaluation, identify gaps in brazing process, and provide step-by-step training for your braze operators to ensure you avoid joining issues in the future.

Reduce Operator Dependency

Avoid over use of flux in the brazing process by converting to flux cored or flux coated alloys. Transition to flux cored products in the brazing process reduces variability while retaining the strength their customers’ demand. Check out the ITT case study below

Reduce Flux Stain

One innovative solution Lucas Milhaupt developed to address over usage of flux, a common cause of flux stain, is the addition of the flux cored products. See below for products our automotive engineering teams love.
