Brazing

Brazing is a metal-joining process that uses a filler metal to bond two or more metals together at high temperatures without melting the base materials, creating strong and durable joints.

What is brazing?

Brazing is a process where two metals are joined by heating a filler metal above 450°C (840°F) but below the melting point of the base metals. The molten filler flows into the joint, creating a strong, sealed bond without melting the base materials.

How does it work?

Brazing relies on heat, capillary action, and filler metal to create strong joints. First, the metal surfaces are cleaned and coated with flux to prevent oxidation. The propane torch evenly heats the joint, raising the temperature above 450°C (840°F). Once hot enough, the brazing rod melts and flows into the gap between the metals, forming a durable bond. As the joint cools, the filler metal solidifies, creating a leak-proof and structurally sound connection.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! A propane torch is effective for brazing copper, brass, and some steels, especially in plumbing, HVAC, and metal repairs. For higher-temperature alloys, a propane-oxygen or MAP gas torch may be required.

Brazing: Uses higher temperatures (above 450 °C / 840°F) for stronger joints.
Soldering: Uses lower temperatures (below 450 °C / 840°F) for electrical and plumbing connections.

Silver-based alloys – Great for plumbing, HVAC, and metal joining.
Brass or bronze alloys – Used for strong, structural connections.

Yes! Flux prevents oxidation and ensures a clean, strong bond. Some brazing rods come pre-coated with flux.

Use a torch with a cyclone burner for even heat distribution around the joints
Avoid direct flame on the filler—heat the base metals so the filler melts by contact.

Aluminium – Requires special aluminum brazing rods and flux.
Stainless steel – Possible with silver-based brazing alloys and proper heat control.

Brazing creates strong, sealed joints but is not as strong as welding for load-bearing structures. However, it’s preferred when precision and low heat input are needed.
