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.

What is the difference between hand soldering and soft soldering?
The type of material used to connect the pieces. Solder is used on copper or brass. Brazing uses a copper alloy and is used on Iron based items. Same process in how it is done.
What can you do instead of welding?
Depending on the application, material to be joined, and the strength needed, brazing, soldering, riveting, screws, bolts and nuts, and using an adhesive are all possibilities.
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!
What is the use of acid in soldering and brazing?
It is used to clean impurities away from the surface to be soldered or brazed. Many times it is included in the flux. The use of acid type of fluxes is actually detrimental to good plumbing , soldering practices because if the flux is not properly cleaned the joint will eat away from the corrosive action of the acid
What is a brazing hearth used for?
brazing clints head
What is another name for brazing?
Brazing is also known as soldering or soft soldering in the layman vernacular.
Are soldering and brazing fluxes the same?
No, soldering and brazing fluxes are not the same. Soldering fluxes are designed to remove oxides from the metal surfaces being joined during soldering, while brazing fluxes are formulated to clean the joint and promote wetting for the filler metal in brazing processes. Additionally, brazing fluxes can handle higher temperatures compared to soldering fluxes.
What has the author C J Thwaites written?
C. J. Thwaites has written: 'Soldering' -- subject(s): Solder and soldering 'Capillary joining -- brazing and soft-soldering' -- subject(s): Brazing, Solder and soldering 'Hot-tinning'
What is the difference between silver soldering and brazing?
same concept, silver soldering requires higher temperatures usually
How do you install a shut off valve on an unthreaded pipe?
By soldering or brazing
What is oxygen used for exept breathing?
Gas welding/soldering/brazing
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 are the differences between brazing and soldering when it comes to joining copper pipes?
Brazing and soldering are both methods used to join copper pipes, but they differ in the temperatures at which they are performed. Brazing involves higher temperatures and the use of a filler metal with a melting point above 840F, while soldering is done at lower temperatures using a filler metal with a melting point below 840F. Brazing creates a stronger bond than soldering, making it more suitable for high-pressure applications.
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 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.
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
