Brazing

Brazing offers numerous advantages to a wide range of industry sectors and applications, particularly where there is a need to join dissimilar materials.

The main advantage of brazing is that, unlike welding, it is not a 'fusion' process – the parent materials to be joined do not need to be melted. This makes brazing an ideal solution for joining materials such as:

Metals
Ceramics

Other advantages include:

Re-working
Minimal shape change to parts
No post-finishing

The key to successful brazing lies in choosing a braze filler material that is appropriate to the circumstances because the braze filler needs to join successfully with both parent materials. Joint intimacy and cleanliness are also critical factors.
