The strength of brazing welds is typically as strong as the base metals being joined, and in some cases, the brazed joint can be stronger than the base material itself. This high strength is achieved through proper design, surface finish, and flatness of the brazed joint, which ensures good capillary action and wetting of the brazing material. Brazing is conducted at higher temperatures compared to soldering, which allows for stronger, permanent, and durable joints. It is also capable of joining a wide range of dissimilar materials, making it a versatile choice in various industrial applications.
Brazed joints benefit from a controlled environment, such as vacuum brazing, which ensures cleanliness and high integrity. This process allows for precise control over temperature and conditions, leading to a strong and clean final product. Additionally, parts can be heat treated during the brazing process, enhancing their properties for specific applications in industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical.
While brazing offers significant advantages, such as reduced cracking risk and metallurgical changes compared to fusion welding, it does have some limitations. The main disadvantage is the reduced strength and heat resistance of the brazed joint compared to welded joints. However, brazing with copper-based filler metals is particularly effective for joining dissimilar metals and for repairing or joining unknown castings.
Overall, brazing is a robust and reliable joining method that is widely used in various industries due to its strength, durability, and versatility in joining different materials.
