Vacuum Brazing
Applied Diamond uses active brazes in a variety of vacuum apparatus for brazing diamond parts and shapes to holders of various designs. Brazing of diamond to other materials is always done in a vacuum or inert atmosphere to avoid oxidation.Examples of our vacuum brazing experience:
- Bonding single crystal or CVD diamond parts to tool shanks and inserts
- Vacuum-tight joints between diamond windows and vacuum fittings
- CVD diamond film applied to tungsten carbide backing (to allow brazing in air to tool shanks)
- Diamond slabs sintered between powder metal blanks
