The reason you're not going to be using one on site anytime soon is because you need a lot of power for it to be effective, so need a fixed supply and bloody big heavy units. Should be noted that the smaller potable ones that you can plug in will braze, but require the copper of be coiled; the 'C' type heads loose a lot of their effectiveness and take longer, and in some case won't achieve brazing temperatures.
Hi,
Thanks for the information. It's interesting to learn about the limitations and requirements of induction brazing. It seems like a powerful and efficient process for manufacturing, but the need for a fixed power supply and large units definitely limits its portability and practicality for on-site applications. It's good to know about the differences in effectiveness between the coiled copper and 'C' type heads as well.
