It's worth mentioning that braze joints can be quite strong. Harley and other early motorcycle frames were brazed. I used to braze "steel rule dies" (picture a typical steel ruler with a cutting edge on one side) used in presses to cut tough synthetic fabric. The steel would often fail before the braze joint, and brazing was used in preference to welding for ease of repair. We melted the braze, made a new section, then brazed it in place.

The rods are RG 45 which is a standard mild steel welding rod available at any welding supply in 36" lengths. Tip size is an "0" tip on a Victor Performer. Welding table is 3' x 4' - 1/2" mild steel. Check next week for a video on a heat sink. With a heat sink you can use a lighter weight steel top for the welding table.

Diana, You're right, brazing and soldering do look similar. Brazing is done with a bronze brazing rod which require a much higher heat source than soldering. If you are using silver solder you can get a strong joint between two metals if you can get the metals hot enough to accept the silver solder. Wikipedia has a section on Silver Brazing (silver soldering) in their article on brazing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazing

George, I think I just adore you! I really must add to the thoughts of my first impression. After watching several of you videos, in my humble opinion, you nailed it. Not only are you a wonderful artist and craftsman but you are also a really good teacher, videographer, editor, and content contributor. I am not a person that gives undo praise, I think telling someone they're doing good when they need work is counterproductive. My one complaint is that your information and presentation is of such value to me it is impeding my production. Shame on you. lol I do have a few questions; 1. What is your bench made of? 2. I'm planning on watching most your videos, I was wondering if you had some on beginning welding/braising tutorials. B. I know how to solder pretty well. I do stained glass panels. (my profile pic is one of mine pieces.) and want to incorporate metal and glass. This is such a happy thought for me it gives me "Snoopy" feet everytime I start drawing up designs. I just need to up my skills on a few things. Figuring out how to get the metal hot enough to attach the copper foil to the structure without breaking the glass has been an issue. I figured out a work around tinning copper wire and attaching it that way. My goal is to have them attach directly. Any ideas? I so appreciate you sharing you experience and know how. I looking forward to watching all your content. Thank you. MRS

Lynda, You have a hand held torch. Can you describe it. In order to weld you need to get both pieces of steel so they are beginning to melt. If you are brazing you just need the two pieces of metal to get red hot. If you want to braze, I'd suggest flux covered brazing rod.

There is definitely a difference. Primarily I use "off the shelf" 3/32 bare bronze. I really like Crown brazing rod, but it is 30 - 40% more than "off the shelf" bare bronze. Gas Flux has their own brand. Sweden produces some exotic brazing rod. Brazing rod is an alloy. Copper + tin + (?). If you want something just a bit better than the "off the shelf" rod, I'd suggest Gas Flux. Most online welding supply companies are going to post details on the rod they sell. Details like; melting temperature, ductility, tensile strength etc..

Are you trying to braze with RG 45? RG 45 is a gas welding rod, so you are welding rather than brazing.

Hello George, I have a question, I am repairing a vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle fuel tank, the bottom has a series of pin holes ranging in sizes, the biggest being 1/8 diameter. The metal is thin about .030 and I want to avoid blowing a hole through the thin metal. What brazing rod and gas do you suggest for filling all these pin holes without blowing through the thin metal? Thank you so much for your incredible videos and your beautiful craftsmanship!
@8974734 жыл бұрын
Paul, take a look at this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npamfNma1b26pY0.html Especially the torch angle. Not knowing the thickness of the metal to be brazed, it's a difficult question to answer. Use the thinness brazing rod you can find. Make sure the metal is clean - no oil, dirt or paint. I've never repaired a gas tank. But I have repaired other vessels. If you put in a cup of water and it doesn't leak, then fill the tank. A full tank of water will put more pressure on the brazed hole as opposed to a cup of water. Safety: You'll definitely want to make sure the tank has been steam cleaned or some other method to make sure there are no residue fumes. I would strongly recommend checking out some Harley sites. I'm sure that you are not the first person who wanted to repair a Harley gas tank. You'll probably find someone who can give you first hand experience.

What brand of brazing tip and size of tip did you use while brazing the tips of the metal to melt the bronze? TY --JErry
@89747310 жыл бұрын
Jerry, I used a Victor 00 (double ott) tip. That is a Victor tip. I pretty much either use a 0 or 00 tip for my work.

what gas and tips do you suggest for stainless brazing. thinking of getting turbo tip w b tank unless I can use mapp w silver rod?
@8974737 жыл бұрын
I use oxygen acetylene. Tip size is dependent on thickness of the stainless steel. I use a "0" tip for 22 gauge stainless steel sheet. I've never used Mapp gas so I can't give any help about that.

+George Goehl planning to braze some 2" square 1/8" stainless tubing for a deck railing. perhaps I ought to save up for oxy acetylenr rig?

With oxy/ace - you might consider gas welding with a stainless rod. If it was me - whether brazing or gas welding, I would use a chop saw and cut off several (or more) sections of the 2" square 1/8 tubing and get some practice. I don't work with stainless on a daily basis, so I would practice so that I am using the correct size tip and get the feel for the material and the torch.

Are you not using flux, Excuse my ignorance but I'm new to all this brazing.
@8974733 жыл бұрын
Since I'm using new material I need very little flux. For more information on brazing and flux, go to this link and scroll down to brazing: gsegmedia.com/?page_id=4657

As mentioned by everyone elese, thank you for your videos! I have watched them so many times, especially this one and all are a wealth of know-how. There are a couple of aspects that elude me: you dont flux your parts at any point. You make your dob of bronze with your bronze rod which was prefluxed and scraped. But when it comes to joining your dobbed rod to the rest of the work piece, the rest isn't fluxed. how so? Does this work because your materials used are new and clean, or are they fluxed before your attaching your new (bronze dobbed) item? Do you believe this process would work with brass (CuZn) filler rod? Do you believe this process would work with silicon bronze (CuSi) filler rod? Thank you for your help! An again, thank you for your contribution to the knowlegde base!

Edouard, thanks for the compliments. But when it comes to joining your dobbed rod to the rest of the work piece, the rest isn't fluxed. how so?" I guess I've never thought about that. Evidently there is a enough flux remaining that it works. I would know and could see visually if it wasn't flowing onto the other part. If i read this right CuZn is brass which is copper and zinc. For a filler rod I don't use CuZn. I am using bronze brazing rod which is copper and tin. I seldom use silicon bronze so really don't have enough experience to comment. Let me know if you have any other questions. George

hey, will that work for bike frames?
@8974736 жыл бұрын
I've never welded or brazed a bike frame. Suggest you check on some bicycle frame forums and also check on some KZfaq videos for bicycle frames.

wow u can braze without gloves? or are u just used to it?

The flame of the torch is directed to the work, it is not hot to my hands unless I get my hands too close to the torch flame.

Size? Depends on how much Oxy/Ace you are going to use. The smaller cylinders are convenient but they don't last long. If you go with the smaller cylinders you can always trade them in on larger cylinders. It is a hit on your wallet, but buying your cylinders is cheaper in the long run. For the home shop I'd probably go with the mid sized cylinders.
