BRAZING SERVICES
 WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE IF YOU HAD NO BRAZING DEFECTS AND YOUR PARTS WERE ALWAYS ON TIME?
- What would you talk to your customers about?
- How would you spend the time that is no longer needed to expedite, write corrective actions, answer to your management and customers?
Franklin Brazing and Metal Treating makes brazing predictable, reliable and manageable.
 Franklin Brazing & Metal Treating specializes in high volume, high efficiency processes with specialty in stainless steel parts. Our processes in reducing scrap lessen the potential that you, in turn, will pass on a defective part to your customer.
We don't take short-cuts. We want to be prepared for the unexpected events or conditions that may be adverse to the brazing process. Often our process gives us early warning of negative factors that we can act on quickly to maintain quality yields and on-time delivery. We believe that consistently high first pass yields are the key to cost management and on-time delivery.
We work with the customer to improve the design of parts to lower overall cost.
 Our standard 24-hour, 5-day operation supports virtual 100% on-time delivery. We are capable of routing daily turnaround of parts, if needed. We integrate with your operating practices and procedures.
Franklin Brazing & Metal Treating-controlled variables used to achieve a process scrap rate of <1%:
- Placement of the alloy
- The atmosphere in which the brazing is performed
- Process time
- Furnace temperature
 Franklin Brazing & Metal Treating specializes in the brazing of stainless and mild steel parts using the following alloys:
Client controlled variables: we will work with you to improve your management of the following critical variables:
- Cleanliness of parts delivered to the brazer
- Gap size
- Part design
- Part materials
 What is Brazing:
Brazing is a process in which two metals are joined together using a filler metal whose melting point is above 840° F but below the melting point of the base metals being joined. The filler metal is distributed between the closely fitted metal surfaces by capillary action.
Brazing Range:
The total temperature range over which the filler metal should be able to be used. (Refer to temperature range chart for various filler metals)
Capillary Action:
A phenomenon of surface tension which causes a liquid to be drawn into the space by two closely mated parallel surfaces. In order to achieve capillary action, the surfaces must be close (no more than .010"), parallel, and clean of any oxides or oils.
Fillet:
Excess alloy remaining on the edge or edges of a brazed joint forming a build up area.
Protective Atmosphere:
A gas surrounding the work pieces, used to prevent, or facilitate the removal of, oxides and other detrimental surface substances.
