    Soldering and brazing are processes for joining metals. Soldering uses alloys like tin-lead that melt below 450°C, while brazing uses alloys above 450°C. Both processes involve cleaning and fluxing the metals, then heating the filler metal to form a bond. Soldering joints are weaker while brazing can join dissimilar metals and is used for tasks like plumbing and electronics.

    SOLDERING & BRAZING

    UNIT-IV
    INTRODUCTION
    INTRODUCTIONN
    • Soldering is a process of joining two metals by
    using another low temperature metal alloy.
    • The metal used for the joining purpose is
    called solder. Solders are of two types:
    1. Hard solder (alloy of copper and zinc)
    2. Soft solder (alloy of tin and lead)
    SOLDERING
    Process

    • The surfaces to be joined are cleaned and are placed on


    each other.
    • A flux is employed to prevent oxidation. Zinc chloride is
    commonly used for this purpose.
    • The soldering iron is heated either electrically or by
    some external heat.
    • Then the hot end is dipped into the flux and solder is
    pressed against the surfaces to be joined.
    • A joint is formed by melting the solder.
    WORKING
    ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES, APPNS
    • Applications:
    Soldering is widely used for sheet metal work and in radio and television
    work for joining wires.
    • Advantages:
    Joining cost is low
    Equipment is very simple and cheap
    Good sealing in fabrication as compared to other processes like rivet, spot
    weld and bolts
    It provides a positive electrical connection
    Due to low operating temperature the properties of base metal are not
    affected
    • Disadvantage:
    Joints formed are weak
    BRAZING
    • The process of joining two metal surfaces by
    heating and adding a non-ferrous alloy with
    melting point above 450°C is known as brazing
    process.
    BRAZING
    EFFECT OF GAP B/W W.P
    WORKING
    • The surfaces to be joined are cleaned from all oil, dirt or
    oxides.
    • Then both the surfaces are placed in joining position. Flux is
    sprinkled or placed on it. The heat is given to the surface and
    the filler metal.
    • The molten filler metal flows to the surfaces to be joined. On
    cooling, brazing joint is formed.
    • The filler metals used are copper, copper alloy, silver alloy
    and aluminium alloys.
    • In brazing, the filler metal melts but the surfaces to be
    joined remain un melted.
    BRAZING
    METHODS OF BRAZING
    • The various methods used to melt the filler metal and
    flux is:
    • (a) Gas Torch Brazing: It is a commonly used process in
    which oxy-acetylene torch is used.
    • (b) Furnace Brazing: The surfaces to be joined are
    placed in a furnace already hot.
    • (c) Dip Brazing: The surfaces to be joined are dipped in
    molten filler metal.
    • (d) Electrical Brazing: In electric brazing heat is
    produced by resistance or induction method.
    ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES, APPNS
    • Applications:
    Brazing is used for electrical items, radiators, heat exchangers, pipes &
    pipe fittings and tool tips.
    • Advantages:
    It is useful for joining dissimilar metals.
    Thin sections can be easily joined.
    Good finish is obtained on joint.
    Less skill is required.
    Cost of operation is less as compared to other welding processes.
    • Disadvantages:
    Low strength, Not applicable for hardened steel and aluminium alloys.

    BRAZING
