The two common brazing techniques are Torch Brazing and Furnace Brazing.
Torch Brazing is a method where a gas torch is used to heat the filler metal and the base metals to be joined. The heat from the torch melts the filler metal, which then flows into the joint through capillary action. This technique is commonly used for smaller, simpler projects due to its ease of use and minimal setup requirements. Torch brazing is versatile and can be applied manually or with automated machines, making it suitable for both low-volume and large-scale production.
Furnace Brazing involves joining metallic materials using a molten filler metal in a controlled furnace environment. The filler metal, which has a lower melting point than the base materials, is preplaced on the parts before they are loaded into the furnace. The heat in the furnace melts the filler metal, which then infiltrates the joint through capillary action. This method is ideal for mass production of parts and can be performed under various atmospheres such as exothermic, hydrogen, argon, and vacuum. Furnace brazing ensures high braze joint integrity and is suitable for a wide range of applications including aerospace, defense, and medical industries.
Both techniques rely on the principle of capillary action to draw the molten filler metal into the joint, ensuring a strong bond without melting the base metal. They differ primarily in the scale of production and the environment in which the brazing is performed, with torch brazing being more suitable for smaller projects and furnace brazing being optimized for large-scale production.
