US Brazing Engineering Center

    US Brazing Engineering Center

    In our US Brazing Engineering Center, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, we bring together decades of practical experience of brazing. Whether it’s designing a brazing joint, developing a new brazing process, vacuum brazing or full assembly, Wall Colmonoy is a world-leading destination for brazing expertise.

    Vacuum Brazing

    US Brazing Engineering Center’s high-temperature vacuum brazing furnaces (various atmospheres) are designed to produce high quality brazed joints for aerospace, defense, power gen, oil & gas, and other complex industrial equipment – including turbine engine components like turbine nozzles, turbine vanes, turbine engines (manufacture and repair), diffusers, honeycomb seals & segments, heat shields, and turbomachinery parts.

    Aerobraze Cincinnati has a range of high-temperature brazing furnaces approved for aerospace use and used for a wide range of work including vacuum stress relieving, vacuum annealing, solution treatments, aging processes and high-temperature vacuum brazing. Aerobraze Engineered Technologies has furnaces available to meet your brazing and heat treating requirements, including:

    • High-temperature Vacuum Brazing and Heat Treatment
    • Hydrogen Atmosphere Brazing
