brazing

brazing

brazing method of joining metal parts using nonferrous filler metals with high melting points such as copper, silver, and aluminum alloys . Brazing differs from soldering (see solder ) by using a higher temperature; and unlike welding , the parts are not melted. Brazing is best for dissimilar or thinner metal parts and for parts difficult to weld or solder.
