Brazing Materials

A large number of pure metals and alloys are used as filler material in brazing ; to make a choice of the best brazing material for a given application is, therefore, not easy. Broadly the selection will depend on the nature of the parent metals to be joined, the maximum working temperature of the final product and the brazing method proposed. Inside this broad choice, however, there may be many subsidiary factors such as economic considerations, limitations imposed by the fit of the joints or the degree of skill possessed by the available operators.
