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.
