Brazing  

Definition

  • 1. To solder with a nonferrous alloy having a lower melting point than the metals being joined (Merriam-Webster dictionary). 2. process for joining two pieces of metal that involves the application of heat and the addition of a filler metal. This filler metal, which has a lower melting point than the metals to be joined, is either pre-placed or fed into the joint as the parts are heated. In brazing parts with small clearances, the filler is able to flow into the joint by capillary action. (Britannica). 3. Brazing is a metal-joining process in which two or more metal items are joined by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, with the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. (Wikipedia). 4. Brazing is a process that joins two or more metal surfaces by letting molten metal flow into the joint. The filler metal has a lower melting temperature than the parts to be joined to keep the workpieces from melting. (https://fractory.com/brazing-explained/). 5. Brazing is a metal-joining process in which two metals are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal between them.
