| Abstract: | Brazing and hardening in vacuum for manufacturing of high‐performance tools for construction applications High‐performance tools for applications in construction industry are used under severe service conditions. Huge amounts of construction materials have to be removed in short times with long service times. By sophisticated heat treatment processes or combination of materials construction tools are optimized for the dedicated application. Vacuum brazing is a proven technology to join different materials. Case studies will be presented where vacuum hardening of tool steel and vacuum brazing of hard metal to steel improve tool performance significantly. |
