Brazing and welding are heat treating processes that join pieces of metal together. The primary difference between the procedures is that brazing joins pieces together by melting a filler metal that distributes between the entire connective surface, whereas welding joins pieces together at narrow points by melting them together using a filler metal. When it […]

Like many metal working procedures, brazing can be traced back far beyond the modern era. In fact, brazing can be traced to ancient Egypt in the days of the pharaohs. While no one is quite sure exactly how brazing came into existence, we do know that, in ancient times, brazing was different than modern brazing […]

If you are trying to decide which brazing services provider to choose, below are four reasons to choose […]

It is important for stainless steel to stay clean in both the factory environment and after it is delivered to the customer. Stainless steel that is dirty in the factory environment and undergoes brazing services without being cleaned can experience traces of oxidation that tarnish the surface, and lead to corrosion problems down the line. […]

Providers of brazing services have a process for ensuring that stainless steel assemblies emerge from the furnace with strong joints and a bright surface. However, not all stainless steel brazing processes are created equal. Some brazing processes result in a higher first pass yield rate than others, and the reason why often has to do […]

Most companies that need stainless steel assemblies have two requirements for the finished product: it must have excellent dimensional stability and a clean, shiny appearance. The first requirement is accomplished by using the right grade of steel, establishing the correct distance between workpieces, using a sufficiently strong filler metal, and preventing oxidation from forming by […]

Stainless steel assemblies often emerge from the furnace with a drossy appearance. If your company expects shiny assemblies, this can be quite a disappointment, especially if the assemblies need a bright appearance for the sake of aesthetics.
