Abstract

The electromagnetic process happening between an induction brazing coil and the brazing assembly was studied and is described in the following pages. Using the tools of numerical analysis, we managed to achieve 3-D simulation of the process, which includes presentation of the magnetic field, thermal heat transfer, and time dependence. The results presented are considered for two of commonly used materials—copper and stainless steel in the shape of pipes. The induction brazing coil is a complex C-shape to match with the real industrial practices. The results obtained from the model are in accordance with the experimental results, as in both the model and the experiment, the required temperature was reached in about 6 s. It was found that during the brazing process, the inductance of the winding increases by about 4 nH and the resistance by 1.5 mΩ, which is important for the coordination of the power supply.
