Wipe the areas on the metal pieces that will be joined with the emery cloth so the surfaces are free from dust and grease.
Brazing sheet metal.
Have you ever welded something so thin and worn out that all you do is blow holes in it.
Brazing is similar to soldering but at higher temperatures.
Apply this paste to the areas on the metal pieces that will be joined using the brush.
Use a torch that produces a high intensity flame.
This is how a brazed joint is made.
The forehand technique is usually preferred.
In a brazing operation you apply heat broadly to the base metals.
It is melted instantly by the heat in the base metals and drawn by capillary action completely through the joint.
In brazing the filler metal has a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.
In brazing and welding fabricators add a filler metal into the joint.
Proper temperature of base metal is indicated by a cherry red color.
However the major differences are the following.
Brazing requires less energy than welding and can be used to join dissimilar metals.
Brazing is a metal joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.
6 4 3 a generous quantity of brazing flux applied to the filler rod and the joint area reduces zinc loss and produces sound joints.
The brazing rod should be melted by the heat of the metal pieces being joined not by direct contact with the flame of the torch.
The filler metal is then brought into contact with the heated parts.
Brazing as we ve seen uses the principle of capillary action to distribute the molten filler metal between the surfaces of the base metals.
Therefore during the brazing process you should take care to maintain a clearance between the base metals to allow capillary action to work most effectively.
Did you want to learn how to work around that and deliver a solid re.
The filler metal can be aluminum silicon brass bronze copper copper silver gold silver nickel alloy or silver.
The oxyacetylene flame shall be directed mainly on the filler to minimize heat input to the base metal.
