If you’re looking to design and manufacture parts that involve the joining together of two different metal components, controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB) is a good method to consider. CAB is a technology that uses a molten filler metal, often copper or aluminum alloy, to bond two parts together. What important FAQs should you know before you choose this production method for your designs? Read on to find out.

Companies that rely on contract manufacturers to produce their parts and components need to be confident that every piece meets the highest standards. For those in the automotive industry, quality is non-negotiable. One critical process that demands the utmost attention to detail is controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB), and the choice of materials plays a pivotal role in achieving superior results.

In today’s tough economy, you may be looking for ways to reduce brazing costs. Brazing is a more affordable process than welding. Yet, there are ways to bring down costs even further. We have 4 suggestions:

There’s brazing, and then there’s controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB). If you have assemblies produced at mid to high volume that need clean and strong joints, you may want to look into CAB. What is CAB, anyway? Read on to find out!

Controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB) is a joining technology that uses a molten filler metal – such as copper or silver – to bond two materials. Unlike regular brazing, CAB is conducted in a special atmosphere. This allows the filler metal to solidify and seal a joint without oxidizing.
