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.
What is the mechanical properties of copper?
Copper is ductile, malleable, and a good conductor of heat. It also has good brazing and soldering properties.
Whats the difference between brazing and soldering?
"Nothing really. It concerns the metal your working with. You braze with brass, solder with lead and weld with steel. That's about it.In general, brazing refers to higher temperature processes than soldering does, but the line is pretty fuzzy."I don't think its as simple as that, I thought the processes were distinguished by their temperature ranges for a while too until I was told otherwise. There are high temperature solders and low temperature brazing materials. ARC wielding is the actual metallurgical bonding of similar materials together, as opposed to soldering which I feel is more of a semi-physical bond. Long story short I don't know the exact difference from a mettalurgical standpoint but they are infact much different in that respect.There is no fundamental difference between brazing and soldering; it is primarily historic. The word "braze" is derived from an old English word "braes" meaning to cover with brass. While "solder" is derived from an old french word "soudure" which means to make solid. Based on the historic developments, brazing process is defined as one where the filler melts above 450 C while soldering is where the filler melts below 450 C. But beyond that technically there is no difference.
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.
Can you have a combo of sterling silver and platinum in jewelry?
Yes, Sterling and Platinum can be combined either by soldering or brazing the two metals together, riveting the metals together, or alloying the two metals. The jeweler who fabricates a piece out of the two metals must have two separate and distinct sets of tools that are used specifically for the two metals to avoid tool and metal contamination.
What is another name for brazing?
Brazing is also known as soldering or soft soldering in the layman vernacular.
What has the author C J Thwaites written?

What is the difference between silver soldering and brazing?
same concept, silver soldering requires higher temperatures usually
What is oxygen used for exept breathing?
Gas welding/soldering/brazing
How do you install a shut off valve on an unthreaded pipe?
By soldering or brazing
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.
Why soldering and brazing are considered like welding?
Because they are all methods of joining metals together.
What is metal joining?
You may mean soldering, brazing or welding. These are all methods of joining metals
Is brazing more like welding or soldering?
It is closer too soldering, just more heat, tin/sliver instead of solder and brazing flux instead solder flux. More like welding as far as strength is concerned. It is very strong and is used on larger diameter pipes. however application is the same as soldering
What are melting joints?
- Melting - Pieces of metal or plastic can be melted together (welding, soldering - brazing or using chemicals)
Definition of soldering and brazing?
Brazing is actually not a method of welding as it does not melt the joint metal together. Brazing is actually much closer to soldering. It is a process that (usually) uses a gas torch and a thin brass rod to bind two (or more) pieces of metal together. The torch heats the joints surface to the melting temperature of brass at which time the brass filler rod is melted into the joint to fuse them together.
