There are many ways to fix a burst pipe, if you are experienced in soldering you could re round the pipe closing the burst portion and solder the cracked section, or simply cut the burst section out and solder in a new piece withe two couplings. For the less experienced I would recommend cutting the pipe and using a shark bite repair fitting, it comes with detailed instructions and is made just for the situation you described
Not cleaning the pipe or joint enough, not using flux, or not heating the pipe or joint enough. You use the blue tip of the flame on the joint and the capillary action sucks the solder into the joint. You have to clean the pipe with sandpaper or steel wool, the joints with a fitting brush on the inside, and use a proper flux and solder.
tig or mig depending on the wall thicknessCopper to copper is either soft soldered, or silver solderedSilver solder is a bad term as "solder" normally means lead content according to the AWS
YOU thread or braze copper pipe Copper tubling you solder, braze, flaire, compression ring, mechincal joints
Clean the end of the pipe and whatever kind of fitting you are putting on it with either steel wool or fine sandpaper. Put flux on both pieces covering all the surface where they will be joined. Use a propane torch and heat on one side of the fitting and touch the solder on the opposite side. When the solder gets hot enough to melt, it will be drawn to the heat source. By having the solder on the opposite side from the heat you know there is solder completely around the fitting. Let it cool before handling.
A GI pipe is welded to a GI pipe by using solder and flux. The pipe is heated up, flux applied, and then solder allowed to flow into the joints to create a secure bond.
Depends on the solder used. If silver solder is used it is actually stronger than the pipe itself.

What to use to solder a shut off valve
Not cleaning the pipe or joint enough, not using flux, or not heating the pipe or joint enough. You use the blue tip of the flame on the joint and the capillary action sucks the solder into the joint. You have to clean the pipe with sandpaper or steel wool, the joints with a fitting brush on the inside, and use a proper flux and solder.
First off, you should shut off the water source. Then you must drain the pipe. After that you can clean up the area to be soldered, apply some flux. Now you are ready to solder. The pipe doesn't need to be bone dry, since it will dry as you solder from the heat.

You can put a ball of white bread inside of the pipe it will stop the water longe enough to solder the joint then it will deteriate and come out of the pipe if you have an aerator on the faucet check it to make sure that the bread does net clogg the screen
Plumbers that solder pipe together, also known as welding of the pipes.

Take either an SOS pad or a wire brush and rough up both the inside of the brass fitting and outside of copper pipe, put the copper pipe into the fitting and solder around it.
Wet on the surface is no problem, it will evaporate with the torch. If there is water in the pipe, it will not solder because the water keeps the copper from getting hot enough. As long as the water is below the point of solder, it will work. Open the nearest valve or have some way for the steam to get out of the pipe.
