Brazing
Videos
Brazing is a metal-joining process in which two or more metal items are joined by melting a filler metal which flows into the joint, with the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoini

Soldering
Videos
Soldering joins two metal surfaces using a filler metal called solder. The surfaces are heated, melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong and durable joint.
Brazing
…not involve melting the work pieces. In welding, the original metal pieces can be fused together without additional filler metal. Brazing differs from soldering through the use of a higher temperature. The principle of joining with filler metal is the same, but solder has a specific composition and lower melting…
