![]() Its only welding when the parent metal melts together, altho brazing can be called braze-welding it is not officially welding.ĭont get too hung up on definitions, we are not compiling a dictionary here, stick to using soft solder when talking as we dont use brazing fillers or fluxes in hobby distilling and saying brazing will lead to this sort of off topic ramblings. :Dīrazing also uses a similar temp range of 600 to 1100°c. Hard soldering or silver soldering is not brazing, even tho it uses higher temps in the 600 to 850°c range.īrazing uses alot of alloys, some are even similar to silver soldering so i guess the general public, plumbers and marketing departments can be forgiven for getting the 2 confused at times. Soft soldering uses a soft solder (of course) usually at low temp in the range of 250 to 450°c but this is the working range based on the alloy of metals in the soft solder rather than some technical definition. I will have to disagree with you there bundaboy. Note: (the flux is white ,like too much salt mixed with water to make a paste and the directions say you thin it with water) The welding supply said he sells a ton of this and it's cheap, 9$ here in Canada. ![]() ![]() So if you use map or oxy propane your styling, I looked at the local welding supply for your ezi-weld 801 but it was not to be found. It looks like shit after you heat it that hot but it cleans up nice and the nice thing is I used PROPANE ONLY. The clean up was awesome and really saw no bad residue, just the darkened area that was heated and I hit that with steel wool and soap. I warn you if your do this process do ALL your copper to copper joins LAST, or you will blow all your nice solder work copper on copper. ![]() You have to work your way around the area slowly and the solder will follow. I used quite a bit of paste flux on both bits and when the SS was just getting ready to glow, the solder dropped and bonded. So here is a Stainless to copper union using soft solder and the right flux, now I will tell you that the stainless needs a fair bit of heat to get the solder to bond.
