Welders, start your drooling

[_Stretchie_]

Ppfft, I weld like that..... Is something I will never say while looking at those pics

Some more, slightly more appropriate too:

ah and it is brazing not welding apparently, TIL!

Brazing is done at lower temperatures so you get less distortion and less effects on the parent metal.

Alright then, so what is the difference between Welding, Brazing and Soldering?

I once soldered a coke can onto the exhaust manifold of my Casal 50, helped along with numerous clips!!!
Pity I dont have photos.........I'd put those "V8" manifolds to utter shame!!!! 😝

Welding is a done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint. Usually the same materials joined and the filler of the same.

Brazing is a metal-joining process whereby a filler metal is heated above melting point and distributed between two or more close-fitting parts by capillary action. Used in bicycle frames, plumbing etc. Fillers can be brass, copper, silver.

Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Electrical joints, jewellery, etc. Filler is usually a tin / lead mix.

Gorgeous! As close to my definition of "art" as it gets. I could have any of those pieces in my house and never get sick of seeing them!

Nice reply! thank you!

Brazing and soldering sound a whole lot alike. I don't get why so many terms exist, seems a little unnecessary somehow. Another thing I learnt today though

That might have been done with TIG brazing by the look of it

Brazing is generally for bigger stuff. Soldering is used for little things like circuit boards and jewellery. Also, soldering uses an "iron" and you use a flamethrower for brazing.
