In welding, the parent metal, that is the pieces to be joined are actually melted along with the filler metal, if any. The filler metal is the same material as the parent metal. In brazing, the pieces to be joined are heated, but do not melt. Only the filler metal is melted. The filler is a brazing alloy, usually an alloy containing brass, silver, or other metals. The filler metal is not the same as the parent metal. Since brazing does not melt the parent metal, less heat is required, but the resulting joint is not as strong as a welded joint. The brazing alloy is usually a different color than the parent metal, so the joint will stand out and be visible, which can be an issue where appearance is important.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of rod is use for braze welding?
Brazing isn't welding - it's more like soldering. You use a rod made out of brass for the process of brazing.
What has the author Michael John Fletcher written?
Michael John Fletcher has written: 'Vacuum brazing' -- subject(s): Vacuum brazing 'Electron beam welding' -- subject(s): Electron beam welding 'Friction welding' -- subject(s): Friction welding
What is oxygen used for exept breathing?
Gas welding/soldering/brazing
How do you do nonfushion carbon arc welding?
Contradiction in terms. If its "non-fusion" then it isn't welding. You probably mean brazing.
How is magnesium welded with out it being ignited?
Some methods are used: - electron beam welding - laser beam welding - gas wolfram arc welding - gas metal arc welding - resistence welding - brazing
Why is brazing better than welding?
Welding would melt the base metal and filler metal while brazzing only melts the filler metal.
What is metal joining?
You may mean soldering, brazing or welding. These are all methods of joining metals
Why soldering and brazing are considered like welding?
Because they are all methods of joining metals together.
What would a brazing torch be used for?
A brazing torch is used to head up metals to a high temperature. This is helpful for welding, molding and construction which uses metals. It can be hand held for a torch.
In welding what is used as a cleaning agent to dissolve oxides and cleanse metals for welding soldering and brazing?
It is generally called a flux or cleansing agent. Sometimes contained in electrode coatings and found in powdered form to use in the Oxy-fuel welding process. Primary ingredient is Borax ( yah same as in some hand cleaners). Often mixed with water to form a paste that can be applied by a brush to both the welding/brazing rod and also the base metal.
What is the use of oxidizing flame?
An oxidizing flame is used in metalworking to add oxygen to a flame, which increases the combustion of materials being worked on. This helps to remove impurities and produce cleaner and brighter metal surfaces. It is commonly used in processes such as welding, brazing, and soldering.
How do you spell solder. When welding two pieces of metal together?
'Soldering' is the correct spelling for the joining process that uses a solder alloy whose melting temperature is less than 840 degrees Fahrenheit. +++ Soldering (including brazing) and welding are two totally different processes!
