What is the difference between soldering and brazing?
Soldering and brazing both join two parts by melting a different metal as an adhesive without damaging the two parts being joined. Soldering uses a different metal that has a lower melting point (usually lead-based) than the metal used in brazing (usually silver). This allows easier joining in soldering, but a stronger bond in brazing.
Is there any difference in sweating or braising cooper pipe?
yes there is brazing is done w silver alloy Brazing has a tensile strenght of 87,000 PSI and soldering around 16,000 Brazing filler metals require a melting point of 1,100 DEG Fsoldering around 600 Def F Using the correct type of brazing rod they are self fluxing on copper alloys and thus great for Oxygen and other medical gases and HVAC work
How welding can be defined?
welding is a process which joins two dissimilar metals........ Actually it is more than that. Welding is a process that involves the application of heat to either add more material or join pcs. together. It is not used just for metals (dissimilar or not) but glass, plastics and more. The pcs. to be welded must melt in order for it to be called welding. Soldering, silver soldering, and brazing are comparable to glueing.
What different solders for braising copper pipe?
Soldering requires less heat then Brazing ALSO solder = lead but many call silver bearing aloys "solder" Brazing normally had a tensile strenght of 87,000 PSI with a melting point over 1,200 DEG F Soldering has a melting point @ several hundred deg depending on the composititon of the ally 95 - 5 40 -60 60 -40 etc 95/5 is a good choice for domestic H2O fittings. a 15% silver (sylfos) would be a good choice for a higher pressure application (refrigeration, a/c, etc) Silver bearing solder has it's own applications with dissimilar metals using varied flux combinations. lc
What can you use silver for apart from jewelry?
Brazing and soldering, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde chemicals for plastic industry's, silver coated bandages help to prevent infections. Silver halide crystals melted in to the glasses prevents ultraviolet rays. One in seven eye glasses sold USA now use silver for this reason.
What is difference between welding and weld-ability?
ANSWER:Soldering is a joint repair for two pieces of metal, like a chip to a circuit board using lead. Welding is taking two pieces of metal and heating them up to the same temperature and making a single piece of metal out of two separate pieces. I was taught that soldering,as it relates to piping, is the heating of the base metal to a point to where the filler metal will melt and fill the gap between the two pieces of metal being soldered. The base metal is NOT melted, only the filler metal. Soldering is usually used to join non-ferrous metals. Welding is when the base metal is heated to a point where it will melt and , with the filler metal, becomes part of the weldment. In other words, the two pieces become one, and the resulting weld is now a blend of base metal and filler metal.soldering is a very low heat (melting temperature of the soldering alloy is less than 840 degrees Fahrenheit), semi-adhesion process, final product: 2 base materials, and a filler material on top. welding is high heat fusion process, final product: a solid blended material
What is the difference between 99.9 silver and 999.9 silver?
No se
What is the difference between a silver and sterling silver?
sterling does not tarnish
What is the melting temperature of brazing spelter?
Brass and bronze brazing alloys typically melt at temperatures from 1500 degrees F to 2000 degrees F. Silver brazing alloys melt at temperatures as low as 1145 degrees F. Nickel silver brazing alloys melt at temperatures around 1200 degrees F, but can be worked up to 1750 degrees F.

When and why you use oxy acetylene instead of arc welding?
Primarily when brazing cast iron. Nickel rods are available to arc weld cast iron but in most cases it has to be preheated and it takes experience to prevent cracking. Using oxy-acet provides a means to preheat, maintain the temperature, and braze. Welding, brazing, and silver soldering with oxy-acet have become lost arts. Most common metals can be welded with this process including steel and aluminum.
Why are the three grades of silver soldering necessary?
