The second side of the steel ring was harder to braze because it was covered by a layer of black oxide that formed while brazing the first side. To prevent that I would have put some flux on both sides before I started heating anything. The flux will protect the metal from oxidation caused by the heating. It is better to prevent the oxide from forming in the first place, instead of having to wait for the oxide to be removed by flux applied after the metal was already very hot.
Only halfway through this video and I am so happy to have found this. You give all the most important tips and are clearing up a lot of my confusion. Also because the flame of your torch is mostly invisible here i am finally getting to see the behaviour of the braze pool in great detail. This the perfect video for anyone looking to get into brazing! Thank you!
You do a great job- very clear articulation, explanation, and appropriate brevity. I appreciated the focus on the material at hand and your economy of words. I believe I will now go downstairs and braze for the first time with a pretty full understanding of everything you did in your video, which I'm more or less replicating. I like that you didn't have obscured activities taking place out of the eyesight of the camera, and that ultimately, I don't need to watch ANOTHER 10 videos to get second opinions. So, having watched numerous DIY videos- I give kudos to you as being fantastic at this. You also inspire confidence with your tone. I rarely review anything, but felt compelled to say this. I'll check back in an hour with results of the mission.
Just a tip. For that piece he was focusing more on the rim instead of the bottoms base plate. You notice the filler is balling a little bit. Need to apply a bit more heat to the base not the filler
You took the words right out of my mouth. No senseless intro, just straight to the point. This is a great example of how information should be shared on TH-cam, I was able to braze for my first time as well after watching this.
Thank you for the up-load. I am starting a small hobby and I was thinking I needed a welder to build a small form, but I will give this a try. Thanks again!
Excellent, thank you! Love brazing, strong as hell... sometimes have contamination or flux issues that cause brazing material to "ball up"... always trying to improve my skills. I have some silver loaded brazing rods, will try the recommended flux.

I haven't done mild steel brazing since 1980 at college. I recall that word Borax, like Vim, a white powder. I need to braze a mild steel bolt to a mild steel plate for a metal chair repair. I looked on Amazon but it is not obvious what rods I need neither what flux I need. There is only a large tub for £35 which is a bit excessive for one braze. What I like about brazing is that you tend not to blow away the metal like you can arc welding or MIG or TIG, all of which I am not to good at. Good straightforward and explanitory video. Well done.

Having a fire brick handy will be a good substitute instead of a damp piece of wood, welding requires a very good ground also a good surface for welding to complete the circuit . I have used the Hot Max using silver solder brazing rods it works well . Good video -

Maybe an obvious question but I am new to this... How do you hold the brazing rod? Bare hands, gloves, mulgrips etc? I would imagine it could get hot, but maybe it is like solder where it melts before the heat conducts down.
Nicely done, you've got a knack for explaining this stuff and demonstrating it clearly! Watching that puddle flatten reminds me of watching my old man brazing copper for HVAC. The first time I saw the blob of brazing material get sucked into the joint when it hit temp, it was like magic. Took me a long time to figure out those copper pipes were sucking heat out of the joint almost as fast as the flame was dumping it in...no time for lollygagging, lol. I'd hate to see what kind of jabba the hut joint i'd do these days. :)

So what was holding the Ring in place. Looks to be one piece. Otherwise the ring would've moved during the brazing process without anything holding it in place.
That rod you used how does it look if you buff it I'm needing to braze or weld brass clothing racks together and polish after and they have to look great the filler needs to look like the brass or very close im trying to find the best looking way possible I'm fine with tig welding but the brazing looks better
Thanks for the great lesson I'm a self taught metal artist is the flux for brazing necessary or just helpful Most of the stuff I braz is not load barring
the cleanliness of the surface can b critical for even mig welding, if ur usin flux core then u the weld is extremely sensitive any contamination, u can get nice welds with flux core i even have a bottle of denatured alcohol i wipe stuff down with before i weld before i use flux core all the time its jus way more convenient n welds fine for most things, n for what doesnt u simply plug a bottle in but at the very absolute least u should really wire brush the surface n spray it real quick with brakleen it only takes literally a few seconds n makes ur welds look alot better n for sure alot stronger without contamination
Hi Heather. Yes, when I did HVAC work, I used Harris stay-silv 5 and 15 to braze copper tubing. Clean the copper with 400 grit abrasive paper until it's bright and shiny, no flux required. I should have links in the video description area. Thanks for watching!

I have a wood stove with serious pitting due to rust fissure forming under kettle. What is the best way to get the brazing material into the dirty fissure without drilling out all the fissures?
Would firebrick work to prevent damage to surfaces such as concrete in video? Am looking at repairing the seats on metal chairs. The wire screening has come loose and thought brazing would be a good repair since everything is attached on underside. What did would you recommend?

it is actually better to place the work pieces over a gas burner, this way you get a lot of help because the gas burner will maintain the work pieces at a high temp eliminating the heat sink effect, I have done it on thick copper and steel and works wonders
Great video, ez to understand. I have a great old bbq and the 2pc legs (assembled together) are 2inch tube steel about 1mm thick. And afraid of burning through it trying to make them 1pc. Is this too thin? Or will the inner piece heat up enough? Advise? Thanks.
@@electronicsNmore Done. Not as easy as you made it look though :-). it seems that the bernzomatic torch with the yellow canister could *barely* get temps to melt the bronze rods...
@@electronicsNmore The piece was similar to yours in the video, slightly more beefy. I did it outside of the garage with about zero degrees celcius which probably wasn't helping. In retrospect I would make a little box with firebricks or something to contain the heat. I am sitting on the chair right now :-). Seems well fixed! Cheers!
Man great video. You explained everything the way I needed to learn what I needed. I'll subscribe. I'm looking forward to weld bikes and brazing is a must skill That a need to know. I been watching hours of videos about brazing and this was one of the best

I welded broken small flat stock steel together on a lawnmower catcher twice (40 years ago) and it kept braking due to vibration but then I brazed it together and it never broke again.
Brazing works extremely well when the right rod is used, I guess you used the typical bronze rod. Thanks for watching John!

You’re holding the gas torch too close to the work: heat is generated as the gas burns, the flame will be at its hottest towards the end of the flame. Had you applied flux to the bed and the piece and introduced the brazing rod inside, at the base of the piece, the braze would have run round the entire ring, making a stronger joint using less braze metal.
Futon I totally agree. Branded joints should be treated like soldered joints because brazing is high temperature hard solder. The joints should be thoroughly cleaned and fluxes immediately to avoid oxidation

To all the pros here, I am a beginner in brazing. I have been wonder what will happen to the brazing joint after a certain of time exposed to the environment? I used a copper-based brazing alloy as the filler metal to join two pieces of carbon steel plate. What is the possible failure that may occur on the brazed plate?
Yes, any dampness in the concrete will want to escape when heated - that's why experienced/knowledgeable outdoorsmen don't ever use river rocks to line campfires - or BOOM!
Could brazing be used to join tin cans to make a stove flue? If the first part above the fire box is a proper steel pipe? I was thinking of using Tuna tins, as I collected a shed-load. See anything with "Made in the USA" it's going to be good quality. I got a Speed Square from Amazon. Perfect. It's in inches though. I can't work fractions. Notably it's why we were tought fractions at school. It didn't sink in. MMs are better. Re-use not Recycle.
sure takes a long while ,guess you must be using propane/air torch,,nice thing is the other side is not melting but it takes lot of heat to flow cooper rods
You need high temperature to melt the brazing rod, unlike soldering. Be sure to look over my extensive video playlists below for many other videos of interest to you, and share. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/users/electronicsnmoreplaylists
hi sir thanks for video , need tuto braze metal galvanized and sometime stainless steel , please to help and advise about rod filler , is it silver or silver bronze alloy , any refs and flux with thanks
Serious question: does the popping up of concrete have enough velocity to knock over the work pieces(s) potentially causing burns to skin or starting a fire??
It's known as "Spalling", and the pieces that "may" pop off the surface are generally small. All depends on the moisture content of the concrete. Thanks for watching!

Can you do demo on bending brass plate? I have some brass 150mm long x 38mm wide x 3.5 mm thick. I want to bend this at 90 degrees. Cheers RG from downunder.
Not sure if you done it already , but the way i did it was cut a 2mm deep line on my sheet (5mm thick) using an angle grinder, then i fix it with clamps and bend with my hands , around 20 degrees . Then i heat treated it using a quick made forge with hairdryer supplying air for gigher temps . Repeat bend- heattreat until you are done, just be patient and dont bend too much at a time or you will risk metal cracking.

Yes apply flux to the part as well that’s what I was taught
Flux would help although a reducing flame should be able to remove the oxidation during heating.
Yea wat he said!!!😂😂😂

the cleanliness of the surface can b critical for even mig welding, if ur usin flux core then u the weld is extremely sensitive any contamination, u can get nice welds with flux core i even have a bottle of denatured alcohol i wipe stuff down with before i weld before i use flux core all the time its jus way more convenient n welds fine for most things, n for what doesnt u simply plug a bottle in but at the very absolute least u should really wire brush the surface n spray it real quick with brakleen it only takes literally a few seconds n makes ur welds look alot better n for sure alot stronger without contamination
I usually wire brush the area before working if I want a very nice looking job. Thanks for watching!
Would this be the same technique for brazing copper to copper? Thanks
Hi Heather. Yes, when I did HVAC work, I used Harris stay-silv 5 and 15 to braze copper tubing. Clean the copper with 400 grit abrasive paper until it's bright and shiny, no flux required. I should have links in the video description area. Thanks for watching!
What kind of torch did you use?
MAPP
Wonderful Instructional Brazing Video! Always wondered why even *7* *year* *olds* are able to do #Steampunk Cosplay so easily, with all the metal attach stuff. Now I feel more _"confident"_ to enter this Steam Environment Costume World myself, Thanks to your superb tutorial! #DesignerTJP

I have a wood stove with serious pitting due to rust fissure forming under kettle. What is the best way to get the brazing material into the dirty fissure without drilling out all the fissures?
Would firebrick work to prevent damage to surfaces such as concrete in video? Am looking at repairing the seats on metal chairs. The wire screening has come loose and thought brazing would be a good repair since everything is attached on underside. What did would you recommend?
Awesome got it, jst what I was looking for...
Great to hear! Be sure to watch my other great videos(especially my brazing videos below), and most importantly share my videos with many others. Thank you!

it is actually better to place the work pieces over a gas burner, this way you get a lot of help because the gas burner will maintain the work pieces at a high temp eliminating the heat sink effect, I have done it on thick copper and steel and works wonders
Hi ..just wondering what brazing rods and flux you are using there for mild steel
Great video, ez to understand. I have a great old bbq and the 2pc legs (assembled together) are 2inch tube steel about 1mm thick. And afraid of burning through it trying to make them 1pc. Is this too thin? Or will the inner piece heat up enough? Advise? Thanks.
Ideal for thin metal
Thank you
You're welcome
thanks, i will now go fix a broken office chair that failed on its welded connection...
It should work fine. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore Done. Not as easy as you made it look though :-). it seems that the bernzomatic torch with the yellow canister could *barely* get temps to melt the bronze rods...
@@kvitoroulis The metal must've been thick, and pulling away a lot of heat.
@@electronicsNmore The piece was similar to yours in the video, slightly more beefy. I did it outside of the garage with about zero degrees celcius which probably wasn't helping. In retrospect I would make a little box with firebricks or something to contain the heat. I am sitting on the chair right now :-). Seems well fixed! Cheers!
Man great video. You explained everything the way I needed to learn what I needed. I'll subscribe. I'm looking forward to weld bikes and brazing is a must skill That a need to know. I been watching hours of videos about brazing and this was one of the best

I welded broken small flat stock steel together on a lawnmower catcher twice (40 years ago) and it kept braking due to vibration but then I brazed it together and it never broke again.
Brazing works extremely well when the right rod is used, I guess you used the typical bronze rod. Thanks for watching John!

Does it work with silver solder brazing copper to steel ?
You’re holding the gas torch too close to the work: heat is generated as the gas burns, the flame will be at its hottest towards the end of the flame.
Had you applied flux to the bed and the piece and introduced the brazing rod inside, at the base of the piece, the braze would have run round the entire ring, making a stronger joint using less braze metal.
Futon I totally agree. Branded joints should be treated like soldered joints because brazing is high temperature hard solder. The joints should be thoroughly cleaned and fluxes immediately to avoid oxidation
Can Romex Wire be strong enough to use as a brazing rod? To reweld the top of the cr-mo frame that was cut off and repositioned?
Pure copper isn't strong enough.
@@electronicsNmore thanks your quick reply. Save me from doing something then I shouldn't have.
Very good! Thank u 4 sharing

Awsome vid man!!!
Are you able to do this with a propane torch?
Yes
Very good video A+
Can you not use a fireproof mat like a welding mat under the aluminium.
Ekshrtremely interesting!
I'm new to welding/brazing. Just trying to spot weld/braze tin blades back to frame on a yard whirligig. But not sure what to order. What is difference of stay silv 5, 6, or 15?
For tin, you solder. The melting point is too low to braze. Use an acid flux and solid solder wire.
Really nice work

So is it like solder in the way if you are heating up next to the previous solder point the one thats done is going to reheat and fall apart?
As you move away, the area you just did cools.
I want to do joint copper and brass with the help of gas welding please tell me right materil of rod which i should use as a welding material ?
Harris stay-silv 5 or 15.
I would just like to ask when you're doing your videos could you make your lettering when you put the whatever on their make the letters a little bigger so we could see them please thank you
All my videos for the past 4-5 years have clear text boxes. :-)
To all the pros here, I am a beginner in brazing. I have been wonder what will happen to the brazing joint after a certain of time exposed to the environment? I used a copper-based brazing alloy as the filler metal to join two pieces of carbon steel plate. What is the possible failure that may occur on the brazed plate?
Anything is possible. How well you did the job is the most important factor.
My daddy always told me to get my wood good and wet!
Can a disposable butane torch give enough heat to silver solder?
Only if the metal is thin and small.
Thanks. What torch would you recommend?
Yes, any dampness in the concrete will want to escape when heated - that's why experienced/knowledgeable outdoorsmen don't ever use river rocks to line campfires - or BOOM!
What type of gas are you using
Hi Mike. MAPP gas.
could you do this with a butane torch? (steel to steel) Cheers
They're usually too small in size to heat up the metal.
Could brazing be used to join tin cans to make a stove flue? If the first part above the fire box is a proper steel pipe? I was thinking of using Tuna tins, as I collected a shed-load. See anything with "Made in the USA" it's going to be good quality. I got a Speed Square from Amazon. Perfect. It's in inches though. I can't work fractions. Notably it's why we were tought fractions at school. It didn't sink in. MMs are better. Re-use not Recycle.
The tin cans are really tin plated steel, so yes.
sure takes a long while ,guess you must be using propane/air torch,,nice thing is the other side is not melting but it takes lot of heat to flow cooper rods
You need high temperature to melt the brazing rod, unlike soldering. Be sure to look over my extensive video

Looks like your concentrating all your heat on the ring. Both pieces have to be close to the same temperature for a good braze.
I was directing more heat towards the thicker metal, the ring. As you saw, the job came out just fine. Thanks for watching!
hi sir thanks for video , need tuto braze metal galvanized and sometime stainless steel , please to help and advise about
rod filler ,
is it silver or silver bronze alloy , any refs and flux with thanks
Hello. You can use what's shown at the affiliate link below. Thanks for watching!

who kind of filler rods I need to braze carbon steel/mild steel? can I use aluminium to braze joint carbon steel?
You cannot use aluminum to braze steel. Steel is usually brazed using bronze rods.
Serious question: does the popping up of concrete have enough velocity to knock over the work pieces(s) potentially causing burns to skin or starting a fire??
It's known as "Spalling", and the pieces that "may" pop off the surface are generally small. All depends on the moisture content of the concrete. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thank you. Will Stay Silv 5 work the same for steel?
Hi there! Yes, but I'd use Harris Stay-Silv white flux with the rod.

Can you do demo on bending brass plate? I have some brass 150mm long x 38mm wide x 3.5 mm thick. I want to bend this at 90 degrees. Cheers RG from downunder.
Not sure if you done it already , but the way i did it was cut a 2mm deep line on my sheet (5mm thick) using an angle grinder, then i fix it with clamps and bend with my hands , around 20 degrees . Then i heat treated it using a quick made forge with hairdryer supplying air for gigher temps . Repeat bend- heattreat until you are done, just be patient and dont bend too much at a time or you will risk metal cracking.
I want to braze 20 gauge brass sheet. will this approach work. I made a prototype with solder and found the edges popped off under minor load.

Hey its displaying "this video is unavailable on this device" across all devices. Might be a bug within your youtube creator act but likely can be fixed.
I noticed that. I'm contacting YT now. Thank you!
I am not able to find a place where I can purchase the brazing rods. If someone happens to know, can you add that info here. -Thanks.
