Years ago when I worked at a restoration shop we used a coated brazing rod
made by Eutectic (sp) it was great stiff. We would sweat Bugatti tie rod ends
onto new tubes and there would be little clean up work, then off to the
plating shop. Bob in connecticut
> Just a few rules will get you a nice, strong braze- welded joint:
>
> 1. Don't overheat the weld-- this creates intermetallics and a weak joint.
> 2. Have close- fitting joints. Don't fill big gaps!!
> 3. Both pieces must be really clean!
> 4. Use flux on both pieces.
>
> One nice thing is that there is far less distortion in the braze- welded
> structure than there is in a fusion- welded one.
>
> Most welding books cover conventional brazing a little but braze welding
> not
> at all. You're right-- motorcycles, bicycles, and (British) race car
> chassis
> were using this technique years ago.
