Brazing Process

Brazing is a process that is used to bind similar or dissimilar materials by melting a filler metal or alloy that is placed between the components being joined. Generally, brazes are filler metals or alloys that melt at temperatures above 450^oC. These molten materials are then distributed between two or more closely attached sections by capillary action.

Unlike welding, brazing does not melt the workpiece. At its liquid temperature, the molten filler metal interacts with a thin layer of the base metal, cooling to form an extremely strong, fastened bond or joint. The brazed joint becomes a fusion of different layers, which are metallurgically linked to each other.

The process of brazing creates an extremely stronger joint and is frequently used to join metals other than steel, such as brass. Brazing can also be used to apply coatings to parts in order to reduce wear and protect against corrosion.
