Brazing 101 – Fundamentals, Methods, Types, Tools and Much More

Brazing, applying low-temperature filler metals, has been used for joining materials to create decorative objects and various constructions since 2400 B.C.

Today, the revolutionary change in industrial applications of materials has made the need for brazing at high temps’ routine in most industrial spheres.

High-temperature brazing is joining method that takes place in a vacuum furnace or controlled atmosphere at above 1650° F to produce high-strength bonds with proper corrosion and oxidation resistance.

There’re a bunch of components in aerospace engineering constructions that should only be brazed at high temperatures, such as honeycomb sandwich structures, pipes for the transfer of fuel within the aircraft, and aircraft engines.

Filler metals are used in such joints vary in their mechanical and physical properties, according to the cost criterion.

The primary goal in brazing technology is to find solutions which meet today’s multiple business prime concerns and creating bonds that satisfy performance needs in the most cost-effective and environmentally efficient way.

Read below unique brazing guide and learn how to braze, brazing techniques, methods and difference between welding and soldering.
