Difference Between Soldering and Brazing
Soldering | Brazing |
Soldering is a metal-joining process where the melting temperature of the filler metal is relatively low. | Brazing is a metal-joining process where the melting temperature of the filler metal is usually above 450oC. |
The most common type of filler metal used in soldering is a 60:40 tin: lead alloy | Brass alloys are commonly used in brazing. |
Soldering occurs at a temperature around 400oC (below 450oC). | Brazing occurs at a temperature above 450oC (840oF).
