What is the process of brazing?

This article is about the metal joining process. For the cooking technique, see braising. Brazing is a joining process whereby a filler metal or alloy is heated to melting temperature above 450 °C (842 °F) - or, by the traditional definition in the United States, above 800 °F (427 °C) - and distributed between two or more close-fitting parts by capillary action. At its liquid temperature, the molten filler metal and flux interacts with a thin layer of the base metal, cooling to form a strong, sealed joint. By definition the melting temperature of the braze alloy is lower (sometimes substantially) than the melting temperature of the materials being joined. The brazed joint becomes a sandwich of different layers, each metallurgically linked to the adjacent layers. Common brazements are about 1/3 as strong as the parent materials due either to the inherent lower yield strength of the braze alloy or to the low fracture toughness of intermetallic components. To create high-strength brazes, a brazement can be annealed to homogenize the grain structure and composition (by diffusion) with that of the parent material . * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazing

What is a metal burr?

A metal burr is a small, thin edge of metal that is created when a piece of metal is machined. For example: when a chef's knife is sharpened, a thin piece of metal remains on the edge of the knife.

Will pot metal attract a magnet?

Answer:Generally, pot metal will not be attracted by a magnet. Let's dig around a bit and see what's up.Pot metal is a general term, and it is applied to cheap, readily available metals with a low melting point that are used to make "trinkets" and other metal objects that are inexpensively produced. Pot metal may be composed of different combinations of aluminum, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, tin and zinc. And before you jump on the idea that the iron in pot metal will make it magnetic, know that you would be correct if there was very much in there. Recall that pot metal is generally defined as having (among other characteristics) a low melting point. Iron has a relatively high melting point, and it is not a eutectic metal. Eutectic metals exhibit the property of having a melting point lower than that of the constituent metals used to make the alloy. Iron does not belong in this class of materials.
