Torch brazing is one of the most operator-dependent joining processes Galaxy performs. Our customers trust the technicians on our floor to plan the work carefully and adjust heat and alloy flow throughout the process. With an average of two decades of experience handling jobs for the aerospace industry, they have the right touch.
Galaxy works extensively with copper and aluminum assemblies, including components that combine different materials within a single system. Galaxy also supports work performed to applicable AWS C3.4, AWS C3.5, and customer-specific requirements.
Torch brazing joins components by applying localized heat and introducing a filler alloy into the joint. Because heat is applied manually, the process gives an experienced technician direct control over the joint throughout brazing.
Its precision makes torch brazing well suited to joining assemblies that require limited thermal exposure to surrounding components. Consider a copper inlet tube joined to an aerospace heat exchanger. By using a handheld torch, the operator can concentrate heat at the joint, reducing unnecessary thermal exposure to nearby thin sections and helping preserve dimensional integrity.
The quality of the finished joint depends on careful planning and execution. The Galaxy team studies the joint’s geometry and customer requirements. The torch operator follows a clear, documented plan throughout the braze.
Galaxy combines a highly experienced team with the responsiveness customers need. Customers return because we can handle difficult assemblies and meet demanding technical requirements while keeping production moving.
Galaxy’s work often starts at the design stage. We’ll work with your team to identify the right approach for joining each element of the assembly. Bring us into the conversation early.
