In aerospace systems, weight reduction and thermal efficiency are critical. Titanium alloys offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, while copper provides superior heat conduction. However, directly welding these two materials is challenging due to their dissimilar melting points and metallurgical properties.

Normantherm solves this challenge with precision vacuum brazing. Our controlled furnace environment enables:

  • Oxidation-free bonding without flux contamination
  • Uniform wetting of titanium and copper surfaces
  • Stable and repeatable thermal joint properties

This process allows aerospace manufacturers to produce:

  • Heat exchangers and cooling channels
  • Hybrid structural components
  • Lightweight thermal modules for avionics and propulsion systems

By ensuring clean, high-strength Ti-Cu interfaces, Normantherm supports the next generation of efficient, lightweight aerospace assemblies.
