At Polyshot, we’re excited to offer our mold-building customers vacuum brazing services for fusing multi-component mold cores and cavity assemblies, particularly for conformal cooling purposes. Our process utilizes a vacuum furnace brazing technique, carefully controlling the brazing temperature to ensure the integrity of the joint.

Implementing conformal cooling in mold cavities significantly impacts mold cycle time, part quality, and part repeatability, leading to substantial cost savings and impressive payback. This is especially crucial when working with stainless steel, molybdenum, and other refractory metals.

Materials and Turnaround Time

To receive a quote for our vacuum brazing services, simply send an email to sales@polyshot.com with general information about the cores or cavities you’d like fused. Our vacuum furnace brazing services typically work with materials such as H-13, 420 stainless steel, and S-7, but we can accommodate other metal alloys as well, including exotic alloys.

Our turnaround time is usually 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity and the number of parts to be fused. We can also handle active metal brazing for dissimilar materials, ensuring strong and durable joints with the right brazing filler metal.

Heat Treatment and Guidelines for Core Fusion

For your convenience, we provide a general guideline PDF for core fusion and preparing your parts for the brazing process. Our heat treatment processes ensure high-quality joints and optimal performance of the finished product, even in ultra high vacuum conditions (a type of low pressure environment) and at high temperatures.

Polyshot’s Unique Fusion Technology

Our innovative vacuum brazing process allows us to fuse two or more steel plates together in a vacuum atmosphere. This approach creates internal flow paths that can withstand high injection pressures and external forces while maintaining the integrity of the brazed joint.

Our expertise extends to vacuum diffusion bonding services, allowing for the joining of reactive metals and silicon carbide components in high vacuum furnaces. These processes are especially effective when working with reactive metals, ensuring strong and reliable joints.

We utilize brazing alloy and brazing filler metals to achieve the perfect bond, ensuring dimensional stability and precision in every project.
