Brazing is a process by which two metals are joined together. During the brazing process, a filler metal, which is otherwise referred to as a solder, is brought to a liquidus temperature that is ...

The processes of brazing, soldering, and welding are often miscategorized as all being welding. In the process of welding, both the edge of the base metal and the filler metal are melted. During ...

Although torch brazing is the most widely used brazing method, finding a skilled operator for the process is a difficult task for many manufacturers. Moreover, it elevates regulatory and safety ...

Brazing joins parts by heating them to more than 840°F and applying a filler metal that has a melting temperature below that of the base metal. Filler metal flows into the joint by capillary ...

Skipping any of the basic brazing steps can lead to pipe joint failure. Strong brazed joints in high-pressure pipes are critical to lasting, leak-free performance. However, brazing is not always given ...

Remember when copper was commonly used in mobile air conditioning? Hans Fernqvist does. He’s a leading technical expert on climate AC systems at Volvo Car Corp. and has been actively involved in the ...

Understanding how the intrinsic aspects of a metal additive manufactured (AM) component, such as the non-equilibrium microstructure and rough surface finish, influence the brazing process. Additive ...

Welding gives an enthusiast the ability to join separate pieces of metal, making them one. It is the ultimate fabrication art. Skilled craftsmen spend years perfecting their technique, while on the ...
