Abstract

In addition to methods such as bolting and rivetting, metal parts can be joined by means of soldering, brazing and welding. In soldering and brazing a filler material of a different composition from the metals being joined is used to effect the joint. The filler has a lower melting point than the metals to be joined and no portion of these is melted during the process.
