[TheForge] Brazing vs welding

Fri Nov 15 12:10:02 2002

For many applications it is a matter of equipment availability and preference. Brazing is slower in many cases and puts more heat into the work piece much of the time.

You may notice I have a preference for welding. For non-ferrous I like brazing over TIG in many cases.

IMHO
