Introduction to the characteristics of "hydrogen atmosphere" and "vacuum atmosphere."
We would like to introduce "Brazing Method 1 - Atmosphere Brazing" from the easy-to-understand "Brazing" series.
Atmosphere brazing is classified into "hydrogen atmosphere" and "vacuum atmosphere."
The "hydrogen atmosphere" uses hydrogen. The "vacuum atmosphere" performs brazing in a rarefied atmosphere evacuated by a vacuum pump.
【Hydrogen Atmosphere Features】
■ It has a strong reducing power against metal oxides.
■ At high temperatures, low dew point hydrogen gas can reduce oxides of stainless steel, iron, chromium, copper, nickel, and others.
■ Oxides of metals containing titanium and aluminum cannot be reduced.
■ The dew point refers to the moisture content in hydrogen gas, and the lower it is, the higher the reducing power.
■ Hydrogen has good thermal conductivity and is environmentally friendly.
