Altair Technologies, Inc.


Furnace Brazing and Contract Manufacturing

Bring us your most challenging and demanding precision furnace brazing problems. Come to us for build-to-print service, design assistance, prototyping and/or contract manufacturing, and we will give you unsurpassed furnace brazing solutions - quality precision joined assemblies.

Design and Engineering - Altair Technologies has vast technical experience related to the joining of materials. With every customer we offer this experience as an ongoing aspect of the services we offer. Virtually every customer we deal with has benefited significantly both from a technical as well as financial perspective. This has come to be a hall mark of Altair Technologies and is a key aspect of the organization that we are continuously improving. We do mean it when we say: "Profit from our Expertise".

Altair's key technologies are the use of precision high temperature vacuum and hydrogen (Dry or Wet) brazing techniques to join metals and ceramics for high vacuum, ultra clean and high temperature applications. These techniques offer several advantages over other brazing and welding techniques:

  • Brazed come out of furnace "to dimension"
  • Precision furnace control
  • Contaminant free clean surfaces
  • Esthetically pleasing joint
  • Uniform braze fillet
  • Uniform bonding across entire mating surface
  • High tensile strength joint
  • Thermally conductive joint
  • Electrically conductive joint
  • Brazed joint is hermetic to >10-10 vacuum scale

Joining/Material Processing Capabilities:

  • Precision Vacuum Brazing of Aluminum
  • RF Brazing
  • Diffusion Bonding
  • Welding
  • Annealing
  • Passivation
  • De-carburizing

Contract Manufacturing - Over time we have developed a very well honed supply base that enables us to offer our customers turnkey manufacturing capability with all the assurances of our being able to produce a high quality product that is delivered on time, every time, in spec. and is price competitive in the marketplace. From UHV assemblies to full up electro-mechanical assemblies we now have had experience in having successfully dealt with a wide array of critical customer components and products.

Clean Room Assembly - Altair's spacious class 10,000 clean-room allows for assemblies to be brought together in an environment that is not only required by many of our customers but also helps to ensure the success of the various braze processes we perform.

Machining - Altair's state of the art machine shop offers a wide range of machining capability over a wide range of materials. Specializing in UHV parts Prototype and small run capabilities includes: CNC lathes and Mills, mills, lathes, grinding, polishing/lapping, grit blasting.
