Is brazing the same as welding?
No. Welding involves the melting of the base metal and may take place with or without a filler metal. Brazing involves the melting and re-solidification of a filler metal to form a joint between two base metal components. There is some diffusion of the filler metal into the base metal during brazing but no melting of the base metal itself. Welded joints are usually considered to be mechanically stronger than brazed joints.
