‘Optimal material’ x ‘Optimal processing method’ = The key to reducing defective products!?
One of our strengths is that we can propose and advise the combination of the optimum brazing material and the optimum processing method to meet the customer's requirements. We have helped many customers solve their brazing-related problems and defects. In this issue, we would like to introduce some examples of brazing-related problems that can occur in a wide range of industries.

4 brazing work problems chosen from different industries
Even if it is called brazing, there are many possible combinations depending on the conditions such as the material, joints, working environment, and others. It is quite possible that the methods currently being implemented at the site may not be the optimal one. Followings are four examples of brazing work problems in different industries that we have solved in the past.
1. Automobile parts manufacturer
Before (problems)
After
Reduced brazing defects such as carbon adhesion after brazing and poor brazing flow
2. Air conditioner parts manufacturer
Before (problems)
After
The molten brazing filler stays in place more easily, reducing the defect rate of products that require airtightness.
3. Air conditioner manufacturer
Before (problems)
After
Brazing processing time was shortened and reproducibility accuracy was improved, leading to lower cost and reduced defect rate.
4. Air conditioner parts manufacturer
Before (problems)
After
Improved the accuracy of brazing process reproducibility, leading to reduced defect rates.
Proposing optimal materials and processing methods from the customer's perspective in consideration of cost effectiveness
Brazing is an operation that is difficult to mechanize because it relies heavily on the technical skills of the workers, such as feeling and experience. However, in Thailand, we hear that the separation rate of technicians is high and the turnover of on-site staff is rapid, making it difficult to train skilled technicians and to pass on the technology know-how. We not only manufacture and sell welding materials, but our motto is to provide optimal materials and processing methods that will help solve such on-site problems.
Recently, the number of sites that adopt "automation" is increasing, but in many cases, we recommend analog methods when we judge that the cost effectiveness is not commensurate. We carefully listen to customers' problems and situations, and propose materials that match the cost from the customer's perspective and practical construction methods that can be put into practice immediately to reduce defective products.
Even for the brazing that is currently being performed at your site, there may be points that can be improved. We can also provide you with specific solutions to the problems mentioned here. Please feel free to contact us for further information.
