| MICRO-SWAGE BRAZE REDUCING TOOL |
| The MGS Micro-Swage Tool is a superior hand tool for easily, quickly, and accurately reducing brazed joints in the wire to conductor diameter or smaller, if desired. This ensures the brazed joint will pass easily through extruder tips or dies without breakage. Our Micro-Swage Tool eliminates outdated methods for reducing brazed joints without damage to the wire.
The high pressure on the toggle joint, up to 1½ tons, reduces the brazed joint to the diameter of the wire. Each Micro-Swage Tool is grooved for up to three selected wire diameters, made to the Customer's specifications for the diameter of wire that will be brazed. Moderate pressure on the plastic covered steel handles, with hardened grooved jaws, reduces the brazed joint to the manufacturer's wire dimension. It is necessary that the exact diameter measurements for the jaw grooves be specified in thousandths of an inch (mils). Laboratory examination reveals that a reduction by means of the MGS Micro-Swage Tool does not adversely affect the structure of the brazed metal or the conductor and the physical properties such as tensile strength are not reduced. The photomicrograph below shows that there is no evidence of damage to either the joint or the wire itself. |
