What factors should be considered when purchasing a diamond tool vacuum brazing furnace?
The following factors need to be considered when purchasing a vacuum brazing furnace for diamond tools:
I. Performance parameters
1. **Temperature control accuracy**:
- The brazing of diamond tools requires extremely high temperature control. Accurate temperature control can ensure that the brazing material is fully melted at the appropriate temperature and evenly wets the diamond and tool substrate to form a strong welded joint. Excessive temperature fluctuations may lead to unstable brazing quality and affect the performance and life of the tool.
- Generally speaking, a high-quality vacuum brazing furnace should be able to achieve a temperature control accuracy of ±1℃ to ±3℃. For example, when brazing diamond tools, if the temperature control accuracy is not high, the brazing material may be locally overheated or not completely melted, resulting in insufficient welding strength or defects such as pores and slag inclusions.
2. **Vacuum level**:
- High vacuum can effectively prevent the diamond and tool substrate from being oxidized during the brazing process and ensure welding quality. At the same time, a high vacuum environment is conducive to removing gases and impurities in the furnace, improving the wettability and fluidity of the brazing material, and thus enhancing the strength and reliability of the welded joint.
- Generally, the vacuum degree of the vacuum brazing furnace should reach 10⁻³Pa to 10⁻⁵Pa or even higher. For example, for high-quality diamond tool brazing, brazing under high vacuum can ensure the cleanliness of the diamond surface, form a good bond between the brazing material and the diamond, and improve the cutting performance and durability of the tool.
3. **Heating rate and cooling rate**:
- Reasonable heating rate can avoid excessive thermal stress of the tool during the heating process, and prevent the tool from deformation or damage. At the same time, fast cooling rate can reduce residual stress after welding and improve the hardness and strength of the tool.
- For example, when purchasing a vacuum brazing furnace, you can choose equipment with adjustable heating rate and cooling rate functions. For diamond tools of different sizes and materials, the heating and cooling parameters can be adjusted according to actual conditions to obtain the best brazing effect.
4. **Temperature uniformity**:
- The uniformity of the temperature in the furnace directly affects the brazing quality of the diamond tool. If the temperature is uneven, it may cause inconsistent welding strength of various parts of the tool, affecting the overall performance of the tool.
- A high-quality vacuum brazing furnace should be able to ensure that the temperature deviation in the entire furnace is within ±5℃. For example, when brazing large diamond tools, temperature uniformity is particularly important, otherwise local poor welding may occur.
II. Equipment structure and quality
1. **Furnace body structure**:
- The furnace body should have good sealing and thermal insulation properties to ensure stable operation in vacuum and high temperature environments. Poor sealing performance may lead to a decrease in vacuum and affect the brazing quality; poor thermal insulation performance will increase energy consumption and increase operating costs.
- The furnace body material is usually made of stainless steel or other high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials. For example, a double-layer stainless steel furnace body structure is used, and high-quality thermal insulation materials are filled in the middle, which can effectively improve the sealing and thermal insulation properties of the furnace body.
2. **Heating element**:
- The quality and performance of the heating element directly affect the heating efficiency and temperature control accuracy of the vacuum brazing furnace. Common heating elements include resistance wire, graphite rod, molybdenum wire, etc.
- For example, graphite rod heating has the advantages of fast heating speed and good temperature uniformity, but it is easy to oxidize at high temperature and needs to be used under protective atmosphere; molybdenum wire heating has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, but the cost is relatively high. Select the appropriate heating element according to actual needs.
3. **Vacuum system**:
- The vacuum system is a key component of the vacuum brazing furnace, including vacuum pump, vacuum valve, vacuum gauge, etc. The vacuum pump's pumping speed and ultimate vacuum degree should meet the requirements of diamond tool brazing.
- For example, choosing a vacuum pump with high pumping speed and low ultimate vacuum degree can quickly reach the required vacuum degree and improve production efficiency. At the same time, the quality of vacuum valves and vacuum gauges should also be reliable to ensure the stable operation of the vacuum system.
4. **Control system**:
- Advanced control systems can achieve precise control and automatic operation of vacuum brazing furnaces. The control system should have real-time monitoring and adjustment functions for parameters such as temperature, vacuum degree, heating time, as well as fault alarm and safety protection functions.
- For example, the use of PLC control system or computer control system can achieve precise control and data recording of the brazing process, which is convenient for production management and quality traceability.
Three, after-sales service
1. **Technical support**:
- The supplier should provide professional technical support, including equipment installation and commissioning, operation training, process guidance, etc. Before purchasing the equipment, you can understand the supplier's technical strength and the size and professional level of the after-sales service team.
- For example, the supplier can send professional technicians to the site to install and commission the equipment, and conduct systematic training for the operators to ensure that the equipment can operate normally and the operators can operate proficiently.
2. **Maintenance**:
- Various faults may occur during the use of the vacuum brazing furnace, and the supplier should provide timely maintenance services. Understand the supplier's maintenance response time, maintenance cycle and maintenance costs.
- For example, sign an equipment maintenance contract, regularly maintain the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the supplier should provide sufficient spare parts supply so that it can be replaced in time when the equipment fails.
3. **Software upgrade**:
- With the continuous advancement of technology, the control system and software of the vacuum brazing furnace may need to be upgraded. Suppliers should provide free or paid software upgrade services to ensure that the equipment always maintains advanced performance and functions.
- For example, when new brazing processes or control technologies emerge, suppliers can provide users with software upgrade services in a timely manner to improve the applicability and competitiveness of the equipment.
Fourth, price and cost performance
1. **Equipment price**:
- The price of diamond tool vacuum brazing furnace varies depending on factors such as brand, performance, and specifications. When purchasing equipment, you should choose according to your actual needs and budget, and do not blindly pursue low-priced or high-priced equipment.
- You can compare the quotations of different suppliers to understand the market situation and choose equipment with reasonable prices. At the same time, pay attention to whether the price of the equipment includes installation and commissioning, training, after-sales service and other costs.
2. **Cost performance**:
- In addition to price factors, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as equipment performance, quality, and after-sales service to select equipment with high cost performance. Equipment with high cost performance can not only meet production needs, but also reduce the operating cost and maintenance cost of equipment and improve the economic benefits of the enterprise.
- For example, you can learn about the actual performance and quality of the equipment by checking user reviews of the equipment, visiting the supplier's production base and user sites, and thus choose a diamond tool vacuum brazing furnace with the best cost-effectiveness.
