frequently asked questions
What is brazing, and how does it join metal parts?
Brazing is a metal-joining process that uses heat and a filler metal with a lower melting point than the parts being joined. The molten filler flows between closely fitted surfaces and bonds them as it cools, creating a strong, permanent joint without melting the base metals.
What is the difference between brazing and welding?
Brazing joins metal parts by melting a filler metal while keeping the base metals solid. Welding typically melts the base metals to create the joint. Because brazing uses lower temperatures, it can reduce distortion and is often suitable for joining thin, complex, or dissimilar metal components.
Can brazing join different types of metals?
Yes. Brazing can join many different types of metals without melting the base materials. A successful joint depends on the metals’ compatibility, thermal expansion, joint design, and the correct filler alloy. Aalberts works with stainless steel, superalloys, copper, titanium, tungsten, carbon steel, and tool steel.
What factors affect the strength of a brazed joint?
The strength of a brazed joint depends on the base metals, filler alloy, joint design, and spacing between the parts. Surface cleanliness, heating temperature, heating time, and process atmosphere also affect joint quality. Proper material selection and process control help create a strong, reliable bond.
What information should I provide when requesting a brazing quote?
When requesting a brazing quote, provide the base metals, part dimensions, quantity, joint design, and required delivery date. Include drawings, the preferred brazing method or filler alloy if known, and any applicable quality, testing, or certification requirements. Also describe the part’s application, operating temperature, and performance requirements.
