Special Application Brazing

Custom vacuum brazing is used to meet the special requirements of many customers in a variety of fields requiring application for high-temperature, high-voltage, high pressure, aerospace, high-energy physics, medical technology, super conductivity, ultra-high vacuum, cryogenics and numerous other requirements.

Ceramic to Metal Brazing

Omley Industries, Inc. has pioneered many applications using the active alloy brazing process. When quick delivery is required, the active alloy process has proven to be cost effective. Omley also uses a variety of metallizing processes completing the full range of ceramic to metal brazing services.

Metal to Metal Brazing

Many customers prefer brazing for its many advantages, such as cosmetic appearance, cleanliness, baked-out surfaces, and the elimination of oxidation outgassing and virtual leak areas that are common with welding. The surprising aspect of brazing is its low cost. In most cases, it is very competitive with welding. Omley has capabilities for brazing or welding Metal to Metal assemblies with like or dissimilar metals.
