Brazing is a very important metals-joining process used extensively in both aerospace and commercial industries.  To properly understand brazing, it must be taught not only by someone with extensive hands-on brazing experience over many years, but must also be taught by someone who communicates very clearly, and very well.  

Dan Kay, the instructor for this 3-day, interactive training program, has over 40-years of extensive hands-on brazing experience in ALL fields of brazing (furnace, torch, induction, dip, etc.), and with ALL types of brazing filler metal families (nickel, silver, gold, copper, and aluminum).  So, whether you are brazing aluminum, stainless, copper, or titanium products, you WILL gain a large amount of very useful, practical information that you can apply right away in your brazing shop.

Here are just a few actual comments from recent attendees:

"Dan Kay gave one of the best and most knowledgeable seminars I have ever attended. He was energetic and kept the lessons interesting and fun!"  (Jeff S.)

"I learned more in 3 days here than I ever have in 2 weeks anywhere else!" (Prentice L.)

 "I've attended many seminars on many subjects over the years, but this was the best, and most practical one I have ever attended."  (Erick B.)

These training seminars are 3-day intensive programs, covering all aspects of brazing, some of which are shown below:

• design of braze joints

• metallurgy of capillary action

• atmospheres

• brazing filler metals (all of them, not just one)

• joining methods available (furnaces, torch, induction, dip) 

  • advantages and disadvantages of each

  • details of how to effectively use each method

  • (this program is NOT limited to just one method or one family of BFMs)

• braze-prep and cleaning methods

• quality assurance/control systems, including inspection processes 

• working more effectively with your suppliers and customers

Who should attend this seminar? Anyone who, by their decisions or actions, has an impact on the brazing operations in their plant: owners, managers, design engineers (brazing begins on the "drawing board"), metallurgists, process engineers, shop leadpersons, operators, quality control and inspection personnel, maintenance personnel, sales persons. When you understand the brazing process, you'll be able to help your customers better.

Attendees will learn answers to:

    What are the most common mistakes made in brazing shops today that lead to poor brazements and rejected parts, and how to avoid those mistakes.

    How to meaningfully cut significant costs out of your current brazing process, and get a better braze with improved customer satisfaction.

    How to gain confidence that your brazing process is optimized for your customers needs, by knowing which things should and should not be included in your process.

    What specific things must be included in any inspection process after brazing, and which procedures might strictly be wasteful of your time and money.

    Which brazing process is best for certain base metals, and why? For example: should you use vacuum or induction-brazing? Which is best for different base metals?

These topics listed above are just a few of the many topics that will be covered in this intensive 3-day seminar.

You will find this seminar stimulating and enjoyable!  There are four (4) seminar dates and locations around the USA for 2014.  So register today for the seminar of your choice near you!  

Don't forget to bring your questions, sample parts, drawings to the seminar!  Do you have additional questions related to your specific brazing process? We will work with you at the seminar to help you understand and resolve your specific questions and any brazing problems you may have. Significant one-on-one time (private) will be available, if needed, to review/resolve your specific brazing issues.
