This flux is not wished for in some applications the product is used for due to its corrosive nature. In addition brazing in atmosphere will result in more cleaning requirements after the joint was created Cold atmospheric brazing is typically considered low temperature joining of two metals at temperatures upto 500 degrees Celsius. This results in faster heat cycles, less power requirement, quicker cooling cycles and less distortion due to the lower temperature input. Due to the fact that brazing in an atmosphere is less complex than in an inert atmosphere the production rate is greatly increased. In addition less complex investment is required as it does not require specialized equipment to create an inert atmosphere or vacuum. Brazing in atmosphere is more versatile as setup changes are easily conducted in order to produce different parts ## Our Systems for controlled atmosphere brazing with Induction [ ### EASYHEAT Models ](https://www.ambrell.com/products#easyheat) #### Headline Add your content here. ### EKOHEAT Models ](https://www.ambrell.com/products#ekoheat) #### Headline ### Workhead Models ](https://www.ambrell.com/products/workheads) #### Headline ### Product Spectrum ](https://www.ambrell.com/products#spectrum) #### Headline Four Ways To Contact Ambrell for Support [](https://www.ambrell.com/products/demo-request) [Request a Demo](https://www.ambrell.com/products/demo-request) [](https://www.ambrell.com/contact-us) [Give Us a Call](https://www.ambrell.com/contact-us) [](mailto:sales@ambrell.com) [Send an Email](mailto:sales@ambrell.com) [](https://www.ambrell.com/services/applications-lab) [Free Lab Services](https://www.ambrell.com/services/applications-lab) ### AMBRELL CORPORATION 1655 Lyell Avenue Rochester, NY 14606 United States  [](//www.ambrell.com/directions) [Directions](//www.ambrell.com/directions) [T: +1 585 889 9000](tel:15858899000) F: +1 585 889 4030 [Contact Sales](mailto:sales@ambrell.com) [Contact Orders](mailto:ambrellorders@ambrell.com) [Contact Service](mailto:service@ambrell.com) ### AMBRELL B.V.
