Meeting the multi-process challenge
The Problem
Our customer needed to manufacture a brazed assembly that was to be used in a thermal management application. The challenge of this project was to produce a unit in high volume that would be capable of rapidly cooling and heating (0°C to 100°C) while maintaining tight temperature uniformity across the entire critical surface area.
The solution
We managed the entire project, from sourcing and purchasing of the appropriate materials, to brazing services, to plating, cleaning, and machining. To guarantee ultimate product performance, we provided rigid process control in combination with non-destructive testing methods, such as ultrasonic imaging and IR thermal imaging.
The Result
By combining a variety of our premium services to manufacture high volumes of this assembly, we fulfilled all of our client’s unique performance requirements. Because we exceeded our customer’s high expectations for quality and reliability, this part design is now currently being manufactured exclusively by California Brazing.

Solving tactical problems by becoming a strategic partner
The Problem
The customer had a difficult problem: manufacturing their parts required high-quality brazing services but their brazing equipment was dated and they were losing brazing technical expertise. They knew that solving this tactical issue meant investing in a non-core process, at a time they needed additional floor space for those core processes.
The solution
California Brazing brought specific strengths to the table: process specific technical expertise; state of the art equipment; mature and proven business processes and process control with SPC analysis. Plus existing approvals and accreditations meant standardized quality and efficiency assurances. In addition, we had proven capability to manage a complex bill of materials and supply chain. By working in three distinct phases, we were able to completely transition our client’s project.
The result
By outsourcing the complete manufacturing process to California Brazing — including purchasing, machining, clean room assembly, brazing, inspection, and testing the customer was able to effectively resolve their process-related issues quickly and get their product to market.

Changing the brazing process to extend the product’s life cycle
The Problem:
California Brazing’s customer, a vendor for an aerospace manufacturer, found their product was experiencing corrosion that shortened the usable life of the product. California Brazing and the customer quickly determined the source of the corrosion to be entrapped salts that occurred during the aluminum dip braze process – clearly the product needed different brazing services.
The Solution:
California Brazing made recommendations on product design and manufacturing processes that allowed the assembly to for Vacuum Aluminum Brazing, which eliminated the entrapped salts issue, thus allowing for a longer product life cycle.
The Result
As a result of their experience with California Brazing, the customer also chose to outsource the complete manufacturing process. California Brazing is now responsible for design verification, purchasing, machining, clean room assembly, brazing, inspection, testing, and other special processes (plating, anodizing, and NDT).
