The four primary methods of brazing are:

1. Torch Brazing: This method involves the use of a gas torch to heat the base metals locally. The filler metal, which has a lower melting point than the base metals, is applied to the joint. The heat from the torch melts the filler metal, which then flows into the joint by capillary action. Torch brazing is versatile and can be used for a wide range of materials and joint designs. It is particularly suitable for small-scale production or when the parts to be joined are not uniform in size or shape.

2. Furnace Brazing: In this method, the components to be joined are placed in a furnace where they are heated to the required temperature in a controlled environment. The filler metal, often pre-placed on the joint, melts and flows into the joint. Furnace brazing is ideal for mass production as it can accommodate large quantities of parts simultaneously. The furnace can be set up to provide various atmospheres such as exothermic, hydrogen, argon, or vacuum, depending on the requirements of the materials being brazed.

3. Induction Brazing: This technique uses electromagnetic induction to generate heat in the workpieces. An alternating current is passed through a coil placed near the workpieces, inducing a current in the workpieces themselves, which then generates heat. The filler metal is applied to the joint, and as the workpieces heat up, the filler metal melts and flows into the joint. Induction brazing is highly efficient and allows for precise control over the heating process, making it suitable for intricate and high-precision brazing applications.

4. Dip Brazing: In dip brazing, the parts to be joined are immersed in a molten salt or metal bath. The bath temperature is controlled to be just above the melting point of the filler metal. As the parts are dipped, the filler metal melts and flows into the joint. This method is particularly effective for joining materials that are difficult to heat uniformly using other methods. Dip brazing is also capable of achieving high-quality joints in a relatively short time, making it suitable for medium to large-scale production.

Each of these methods has its own advantages and is chosen based on the specific requirements of the materials being joined, the joint design, and the production scale.
