How Close to Hold the Torch

[@897473]

If there is an advantage to being self taught, it's that I know a lot of ways not to do something.

George, I think you are the best at teaching this basic and essential kind of information. Thanks.

[@897473]

I agree, thin material is where one really needs to have a plan.

Sorry if I missed something, but is this brazing without flux?

[@897473]

I use clean or all new material, so I need very little flux. Check out this video for the way I use flux.

Yes the secret of braze welding is heat management. When brazing thin to thick, I heat a spot of the thick piece 1/4" away from joint until red hot. Then, while holding bronze in joint, I fan the heat towards the joint. Keeps me from burning up the thin piece everytime.

Thanks Norm, glad to hear that they are helpful.

As always George, very helpful & informative. Thank you for uploading. Norm.

Why is this considered a braze, is it because you're only liquefying the rod and not work piece.

[@897473]

Brazing steel to steel. The steel in this case only needs to be brought to a red hot temperature. The brazing rod is heated till it melts between the two steel rods. Here is a complete list of brazing videos.
