We conclude our discussion on this topic.

What does “mesh size” mean, and what should we be doing about it?

This post concludes our discussion on this topic.

Since it’s been a while, let’s review once again and compare in more detail the differences between correctly performed manual torch brazing and a typical braze-welding process. You might even need to go back and review earlier posts.

The same torch can be used for each process (brazing, braze welding and welding), but the torch-handling techniques involved – and the training – are VERY different.

Dan Kay fields a reader question about the differences between brazing and braze welding.

We discussed a problem last time, and we will look at the solution today.

How can I keep a tube centered in a fitting for brazing when the dimensions of the tubes and fittings have such broad, loose commercial tolerances and the tube tends to “wobble” inside the fitting?

You mentioned that your brazing cycle was such that the molten BFM was held at brazing temperature for 10 minutes.

Aluminum brazing is a growing industry around the world today, and I teach a lot about this topic in each of my brazing training seminars. This article discusses dealing with the oxide as well as brazing aluminum to stainless steel.
