Brazing is a process that can be used to join two different metals.
This process involves melting a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metals.
The filler metal flows into the joint without melting the base metals themselves.
This technique is suitable for a wide variety of materials, including both ferrous and nonferrous metals, as well as ceramics.
5 Key Points to Know
1. Use of a Lower Melting Point Filler Metal
The key aspect of brazing that allows it to join dissimilar metals is the use of a filler metal that has a melting point below that of the base metals being joined.
2. Capillary Action
This filler metal is introduced into the joint, typically through capillary action, which draws the molten metal into the space between the base components.
3. Strong Joint Formation
The filler metal then bonds with the base metals, creating a strong joint without the need to melt the base materials.
4. Advantages of Brazing
Brazing is advantageous for joining different metals because it does not require the base metals to reach their melting points, which could lead to warping or other forms of thermal distortion.
This makes it a suitable method for maintaining close tolerances and preserving the integrity of the base materials.
Additionally, brazing can be performed at relatively low temperatures, reducing the risk of overheating or damaging the materials being joined.
5. Versatility and Reproducibility
The process of brazing is also versatile in terms of the types of joints it can create, allowing for the joining of simple to complex designs with one or multiple joints.
It is a reproducible and high-integrity metal joining process that can be cost-effective, especially in high-volume mass production scenarios.
