Micro Metalsmiths Products

Micro Metalsmiths offers a comprehensive range of waveguide bends which can be dispatched within hours-enabling waveguide assemblies to quickly and easily constructed to the highest standards.

Micro Metalsmiths bends are available in waveguide size from WG10(WR284) to WG22(WR28), and designed to provide excellent VSWR performance across the frequency marked of each waveguide size. A maximum of 30, 45, 60 & 90 are available in both E and H plane. Waveguide bends are also available with either flanges or sockets. The socketed bends are suitable for brazing into waveguide assemblies.

The waveguide bends are available in copper or aluminum alloy. MB1 copper alloy has been specially developed to provide excellent corrosion resistance to handle the extremes of marine and atmospheric conditions. Use of this material avoids the health hazards associated with processing the expensive and highly toxic Beryllium Cooper alternative.

For Light-weight assemblies, aluminum alloy components are available. The corrosion is associated with salt bath brazing of aluminum have been overcome by Micro Metalsmiths through the development of specialist alloys and joining techniques. A range of thin-wall parts specifically designed for use in space waveguide manufactured is available.
