There are numbers
of options when it comes to joining metal parts. With numerous technologies,
there are numbers of equipment also available in the market. Selecting the
right type of equipment depends on the type of metal. But for long-lasting and strong
metal joints, welding or brazing is the best choice over all. When it’s about
aluminum repairing, among the two, the most trending and effective technology
in this industry is brazing. During the repairing of aluminum product, brazing rod is the appropriate
equipment you can use.
Whether it is
about welding or brazing, both use heat and a filler material where operating
temperature is what separates them. Welding joins metals by melting and fusing
them by adding a filler material. It requires concentrated heat directly at the
joint, and temperatures must exceed the melting point of the metals and filler.
But, brazing differs from welding as the temperature is considerably lower and
does not melt the base metals. The heat source of brazing melts filler metal
and draws it into the joint by capillary action. Brazing rod holds a significant advantage when joining dissimilar
metals. It plays a vital role while forming a strong joint with minimal
alteration of base metal properties. This is an identical procedure that
involves joining components without melting the base materials.
