    Brazing and soldering are joining processes where the base metals are heated but do not melt; only the filler metal melts. Brazing uses filler metals with melting points above 450°C, while soldering uses those below 450°C. They can join unweldable materials like metals and ceramics. Brazing alloys are specified in the AWS A5.8 standard and include groups for different material compositions. Brazing allows for joining of dissimilar materials, produces joints that can later be taken apart, and is suitable for batch processing of multiple parts. However, brazing also requires close joint tolerances, produces weaker joints than welding, and manual processes need skilled workers.

    Introduction

    Non-Arc Welding Processes


    Resistive heating, chemical reactions, focused
    light and electrons, sound waves, and friction
    can also be used to join materials

    Resistance welding
    Oxy-Fuel Welding
    Friction welding (&Solid State)
    Laser and electron beam welding
    Brazing and soldering
    Plastics joining
    Adhesive bonding

    Brazing (B) and Soldering (S)


    In these processes,
    the base metals are
    heated but do not
    melt; only the filler
    metal melts
    Brazing filler metals
    having a melting point
    above 840 F
    (450C)
    Soldering filler metals
    have a melting point
    below 840F (450C)

    Advantages

    Brazing and Soldering

    Joins unweldable
    materials
    Base metals dont melt
    Can be used on metals
    and ceramics

    Joined parts can be


    taken apart at a later
    time
    Batch furnace can
    easily process multiple
    parts
    Portable when joining
    small parts

    Brazing and Soldering

    Limitations
    Joint tolerance is
    critical
    Lower strength than a
    welded joint
    Large parts require
    large furnaces
    Manual processes
    require skilled
    workers
