WHAT WE DO

Engineering-Driven Assembly Partner

Carbide Products' induction brazing services provide reliable joining solutions for carbide and metal components in demanding tooling and OEM applications. Controlled, localized heating creates strong metallurgical bonds while preserving material properties and maintaining precise alignment — from prototype through production quantities.

Engineering Partnership

Our brazing team integrates directly with our machining, grinding, and finishing operations. We collaborate with customer engineering to determine optimal joint design, material selection, and process parameters — and our experience with part remanufacturing means we can often repair or rebuild tooling that other suppliers would write off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of induction brazing over torch brazing?

Induction brazing provides controlled, localized heating with improved repeatability, reduced distortion, and more consistent joint quality — especially important for tight-tolerance assemblies and carbide components.

Can you braze carbide to steel?

Yes. Carbide-to-steel brazing is one of our core capabilities. We have extensive experience with the material combinations and process parameters required for durable, reliable joints in tooling applications.

Do you support production quantities?

Yes. We support prototype through production volumes with consistent process control and inspection.

Can brazed assemblies be machined or ground after joining?

Yes. Our integrated manufacturing capabilities allow us to perform secondary machining and grinding operations after brazing — which is also what enables our remanufacturing and rework capabilities.
