- Benefits
Drill bits of varying diameters (0.25" to 1.5") require a tungsten carbide cutting tip brazed to a steel drill shaft with a braze flux. A brazing temperature of approximately 1900°F. is reached with induction heating. The time required ranges from 11 seconds for a 0.5" diameter bit to 32 seconds for a 1.5" diameter bit.

An Ameritherm 20 kW RF power supply with a set of custom 4-turn helical coils (for the varying sizes) maximizes coupling and heating efficiency.
"We replaced our old tube units with Ameritherm's HOTSHOT 3.5 kW power supply for brazing carbide tips onto steel. Not only are we running our product lines at faster rates, we are also achieving more consistent quality."
