The invention relates to a self-fluxing brazing piece. The piece comprises a composite material comprising at least one inorganic material distributed in a metal or metal alloy matrix, the inorganic material forming a flux during brazing to promote the formation of a thermally induced metallic bond...
How to make bronze / History of bronzeCurrent discussion:Q. Re. Harry C's suggestion: I was thinking of melting copper scraps first, then adding the calculated amount of 260 brass scrap to obtain proper zinc proportions, then add some tin solder and mix all before pouring. Comments?Jason...
Solder is any low melting alloy used to join pieces of metal together. Unlike welding, in which to two pieces of metal are melted and brought together, soldering uses a separate metal element as a sort of "glue" to connect the two. Brazing wrought iron is also possible, but it is a m...
brazing and welding are different from each other. Soldering is done using solder while brazing is done using a lower melting-temperature filler metal. In welding, the base metal also melts while joining two metals whereas this is not the case with soldering and ...
Properly size all copper tubing using a line chart. Install and braze the copper tubing for the liquid and suction lines. When brazing, flow an inert gas like nitrogen through the lines to prevent scale and oxidation in the lines. The copper tubing will hook up from the condensing unit out...
Nowadays, the tools of the trade, like those used to make prototypes of fantastic and innovative new products, are so complex and cool, you and I will probably never own them. We won't need to. But for people inventing cutting-edge products, these tools are a must. One interesting ...
Soft soldering is a technique used to join wires, fix electronic components onto circuit boards and bond copper pipes together. This tutorial shows you how to solder step by step.

Step 5 : Once you’ve completed the weld check for imperfections by cleaning the area with a wire brush, also check for any leaks. If your building a still like I am you’ll want to make sure there’s no leaks. Here’s a video that demonstrates Tig welding/brazing copper to Stainless...
Excess flux and brazing metal is cleaned off and the welds are ground smooth. After the metal is cooled, other adjustments may be made. 4 To protect the metal frame and give it a more appealing appearance, it is typically coated. Coating may be done by hand spray painting or by ...
