Brazing Technology

Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB)
Central to the development of many of our highest
performance thermal solutions is the Controlled
Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) process.
Why CAB?
By using a high temperature metal filler the CAB
process is able to create not only a very strong
join but one which is thermally very close to that of
an Aluminum profile

Delta T = 1.2C in
temperature
between base
and bottom of
fin.

The CAB process has been around for many
years and is most evident in the automotive
industry where it is widely used for making car
radiators.
Aavid Thermalloy has invested in the
development of this technology for the
manufacture of both High Fin Density Heatsinks
and Liquid Cold Plates to provide the ultimate in
high performance cooling to meet the
requirements of todays’ high heat flux
applications.

Our manufacturing facilities around the world have
the ability to braze using batch or high volume
fast flow ovens, the latest of which is equipped
with in line pressure testing for Liquid Cold
Plates.
