The processes of brazing, soldering, and welding are often miscategorized as all being welding. In the process of welding, both the edge of the base metal and the filler metal are melted. During ...

Brazing and soldering practices are one of many areas in the HVACR field where what is commonly practiced isn’t what’s best, and what’s taught doesn’t apply in all cases. Let’s start with the basics.

Aluminum brazing (some manufacturers call it soldering) is done at low enough temperatures that simple torches can be used, such as the SureFire T655 torch profiled in the July 2001 "Tool of the ...

Soldering is a low-temperature analog to brazing. By the American Welding Society’s definition, soldering takes place with fillers (also known as solders) that melt at below 840°F (450°C).

While soldering is the most common technique used to join pipes in plumbing applications, brazing is the best choice for high-pressure piping because a brazed joint has typically up to five times the ...

THE issue of the Journal of Scientific Instruments for November contains an illustrated article on soldering and brazing by A. S. Newman and Dr. R. S. Clay, which will be found most useful by ...

This video from the Copper Development Association demonstrates how to properly solder and braze leak-free joints between copper tube and copper alloy flanges. The top stories, industry insights and ...

Brazing is similar to soldering in this regard; even though the filler metal in brazing melts at a much higher temperature than solder, the joined metals still don’t melt.
