• Brazing: Uses moderate heat and filler metal to bond without melting the base metal;
    • Temperature – Above 450°C but below the melting point of base metals
    • Base Metal Fusion– Base metals do not melt
    • Filler Material – Required (brasscoppersilver alloys)
    • Strength – Stronger than soldering but weaker than welding
    • Applications – Pipe fittings, HVAC, jewelry, automotive
    • Heat Source –  Torch, furnace, induction heating
