Why would you dislike this video? As a certified Tig welder, I can attest that everything he said was correct and to the point. He lays down a nice bead and answers the important question of why braze rather than weld. Nicely done
Jody, thanks for all the educational welding video's you do. You have helped thousands of new and even experienced welders learn the tricks and methods required to be a good welder. I can't overstate how much I appreciate your channel.
@@micahhill4786 welding definitely stronger than any brazing, its actualy mix 2 pieces in one in welding puddle, and also you can add more material if you need.
Two years after I first watched this video, and I still appreciate it very much. That TIG-brazing, with the silicon bronze, is just an awesome trick and I just don't understand why we don't see it on custom bicycles or motorcycles, for example. TIG welding is a very high skill, while gas brazing takes forever and needs a bunch of clean up (and can also cook your face off or burn your garage to the ground).
If you can TIG, why would you pick a much less strong welding solution like brazing. Unless there is a key reason that brazing offers with some additional work required, its just less strong and cheaper/labor.
@@boots7859 I can't TIG weld. TIG brazing appears to be much easier than TIG welding, because I'm not melting the steel being joined. So I imagine it's easier to learn how to do, than proper TIG welding. I took a short TIG welding class once and holy moly man I sucked at it! Super discouraging. Plus, TIG brazing is also more attractive than flame brazing because there's no flux, and thus much easier cleanup.
you'll definitely see you brake it and pay to repair it. most don't know even what repair to look for. and just as well customers are dumb, they wouldn't understand that brazed frame is better than welded.
@@eXTreemator Are you telling me you have experience with TIG-brazing and its durability? Or are you speaking to TIG-welding versus conventional flame-torch brazing?
I've been tig welding for a long time and had never heard of tig brazing until I watched this video a few weeks ago. So I bought some silicon bronze rods for the repair shop and found they were great for fixing cracks in fuel and hydraulic lines. I'm looking for other uses. Thanks for the great info.
When I first saw the bike frame that was brazed I thought that was a real weak frame that shouldn't be trusted. Then I saw that the tubing bent before the brazing broke, not the first time I was proven wrong. Good video, this demonstrates just how versatile a TIG can be.
Thanks for making a Monday not so horrible!! It was definitely a treat listening to the podcast on the way home then getting to watch your video explaining some of what was talked about. Very cool! The podcast episode was one of my favorites! Mike Z was great, thanks for interviewing him, I learned a lot!
I keep silicone bronze mainly because I have had good experience with cast iron repair not tig just a oxy-acetylene torch but 80% of what i know is Self taught so don't take my word on it
I raced Superkarts for many years and back in the 80's most chassis were out of the UK, where they were all brazed rather than MIG/TIG'd. Apparently the brazing was better for vibration resistance, particularly on 250cc single cylinder Superkarts which had some fairly strange vibrations resulting in non-Brazed chassis often failing on the edge of the fillet. Nowadays, everything seems to be MIG/TIG'd and such failures seem few an far between.
The neat thing about brazing is for joints in shear or tension, like a wedge brazed to some square tube that you don't want to shrink, or a triangular lug on some .020" sheet without spot welding.
Thanks for sharing! I have been welding for the last 40 years, and I learn something new every new video. Love your videos and appreciate your knowledge.
Great video. I've taught metalwork and engineering for many years and that was a really good lesson. Just goes to show that one is never too old to learn. I've never tried TIG brazing but it looks like a good technique for the right kind of joint. Thanks very much.
I absolutely love to watch Jody weld! Not only is he a gifted welder, he does a phenomenal job conveying his knowledge in a easy to understand vocabulary
Excellent view of the weld puddle as you progress. Nice to see your articulation of the torch and rod as you work the puddle. Really cool how the ac current cleans the field ahead of the puddle. Very informative comparisons. Just don't hurt yourself hanging on bike tube framing like that!
That bike tubing joint was impressive! As a cyclist it really gives me a lovely feeling to see just how strong a bike frame can be, and on a bike you have many joints working together.
Aluminum bronze is a damn beautiful welding metal. Thanks for sharing.

Great channel thanks a lot. I believe the reliability of the weld not only depends of the static load, such the weights that you're applying to them. A good fatigue tests or a CTOD, would demonstrate how reliable was the weld in a more accurate manner. However, not worth it for simple applications like the video demonstrations which were great.
I have never bronze welded with Tig but with gas I could make joints that would rip a thin walled tube apart before the joint failed. In the 60s and 70s Lotus and others put racing cars together this way.
another use is welding a spot of silicon bronze on the end of set screws that need to be moved often ( like a lathe tailstock) ,stops burrs and damage to the shaft . pretty handy stuff to have in the workshop
I have been doing some tig brazing lately with silicon bronze, kind of frustrating how the puddle swells quickly and easily rises into the tungsten if your running too close. Thanks for the video Jody!
from what i can understand brazing seems to show advantages regarding the heat affected area and the conservation of the proprieties of the base metal...great video as always...i don.t even weld but i find entertainment and great knoledge in your work.
Brazing is a completely different process and the mechanics of the joint are different. Brazed joints are a different type of joint and depend on the shear area of the wetted portion of the joint. Unless there is something else that would indicate that welding is not appropriate, I wouldn't recommend brazing a T joint. Both brazing and welding have their uses and applications and just make sure that process that is chosen is appropriate for the application. @2:40 where the brazed joint is broken shows that this is not an adequate braze joint as none of the contact area between the two pieces of plate are brazed together. I believe that some sort of flux is needed in this application as well as cleaning to bright metal in the joint area. I really appreciate your videos and have learned a lot from them, but I think that you missed just a little bit on this one. I have been doing TIG brazing on some items where heat input is critical to avoid overheating the base metal and I have been doing as I mentioned, cleaning the joint area to bright metal and using a flux.
thanks for this though I could have used it when I was trying my hand first at brazing and welding with a gas torch though I did finally get it to put down rod it was not easy and often got the temp of the base metal to the point of reduction temp and starting to drip like when you go to torch cut it, you are right a braze snaps much more easy then a weld I welded down things and could not bend it even with a hammer.
This is exactly what i want to do. I'm 18 and have recently;y taken up a fascination with motorcycles. I just finished my Oxy-Acetylene class a few months back and had a lot of fun with it. I am signed up for Arc and Tig next month. I want to fabricate motorcycles, and just about anything.
My understanding is that brazing is your backup, in an event where you cant heat it enough or your using 2 separate metals that won’t weld you can almost always braze them if you get the right stuff
Brilliant Video. I'm planning on building bike from scratch so learning as much as I can about different welding techniques. I'm loving your tips and tricks. Thanks
I used to be a 6gr Lloyds coded welder using mig,stick and Tig,the Tig mainly for stainless. That's some lovely welds and brazing you are putting in there buddy. Great work 👍🏴
An advantage of brazing is the material is below the critical harxening temprature of hibgh tensile crome Molly alloy steel. This can reduce brittleness. Welded crml steel must be Annealed after arc welding.
Excellent video, fillet-weld brazing using AC or DC using Aluminium-Bronze or Silicon-Bronze nicely explained, demonstrated and even performed strength test experiment, all while also welding bicycle frame. Love you, take care!
This was a great video for tig brazing comparison of silicon bronze versus aluminum bronze. My interests were in using silicon bronze for more or less ornamental uses for brass spheres on 304 tubing property line markers. Tig is a much easier option and cheaper than oxy-acetylene
I used silicon bronze on copper fittings (42mm to 8mm side stub) using tig and its great. However on smaller tubing (4mm) I find it embrittles it. I was finding it crack to often so use silver solder instead (Oxy/Propane)
Chris Capozzi I make heat exchangers as part of a product I manufacture. Its made if 42mm copper pipe with end feed cap ends The cap ends are copper to copper welded with tig. There are 2 pipes 8mm that provide the cooling inlet/outlet and while I can braze them with Oxy Propane its slow to heat the whole lot up so I fillet weld them using the silicon bronze using tig. Neat welds and quick. I have 4mm pipe entries as well, I used to braze them with SB and Oxy Prop while still hot following the copper copper welding. But SB is hard and makes the joints brittle, not good on 4mm tube. This lead to cracks so not those joints are silver soldered. I like SB as its cheaper than Silver Solder.
Tim Box yes. I know exactly what you are doing. I am a Steam fitter/welder myself. I have seen that done. I have seen it on air handler coils as well. Just curious in your application as I have have seen copper joined as such in situations where an oxy/accet flame may not be the best choice.
Chris Capozzi The main reason is speed in my case for the 8 - 42 connection. I also braze 1/4" over 4mm to enlarge the pipe for fittings. I prefer silver solder there but it sucks up loads and then have to wait for the flux to dissolve in water before use. I flip between PB and Silver Sol as the PB is tricky to keep of the outer tube and makes a discoloured finish.
That's neat @ 6:33. I had a Zanconato road bike like that one stop by the shop a few months ago. I know at least one Euro rider who likes his, haha. Really nice build.
At 5:22 there is a typo on the diagram of the fillet weld geometry and the audio that is referencing the diagram. The shown value of 0.88 should be 0.088. It just caught my eye when it was showing the leg of a right triangle to be seven times longer than the hypot. I've really been enjoying your videos. Count me as one more subscriber.
Would you agree that silicon-bronze tig is superior to steel tig for bicycles because the strength is adequate to the application, and it is easier to work with?
Im not cool enough to get it , dam it sucks being a noob, im like 40 bro , ditched carpentry for the big bucks in custom fab , only problem im a 5 year old at welding
With my old 1966 Triumph Trophy, I once brazed a steel sprocket to the hub/brake drum because in those days the sprocket was integral and not bolted on. I turned the original sprocket off on a lathe, and brazed on a sprocket with more teeth. It lasted 25+ years...until someone stole the bike!
Thanks Jody. Always awesome videos, but that went out of the park! I do allot of repair work and that was really informative. I'd like to see some cast iron repairs using those brazing techniques, (like engine block repairs) Thanks!
Have your gas flowing inside the pipes before, during and after welding. A beautiful welding bead inside and out. Apply an acid bath. Many years ago used to weld stainless in a laboratory. But a video would be nice.
I could not tell you how many coolant and hydraulic tubes I have patched up with some brazing rod and a torch on heavy trucks and equipment. far as I know I haven't had any repeat leaks from repaired areas
Woohoo, Zank gets honorable mention again! Looks like the bike tubing bent right at the transition from butted to main wall thickness. Assuming he sent you butted tubing such as is nearly always used on high-end brazed and welded and lugged bike frames.
I enjoyed watching somebody doing a bit of tig welding as I was a welder. The most obscure weld I ever did was aluminIum too steel. Yes, that is what I did, and NEVER told anybody how I did it. Probably never will.
Thanks pretty as a picture welds, I’m an industrial radiographer and auditor so been around and I’ll bet you’d get “A” ‘s for your welds. I’m also a home stick and oxy welder self taught and very jealous of your skill but it gives me something to aim, for very informative
A good close up of the 'failed' welds is a good indicator of the weld technique. Let's one know if you got to the intersection of materials. Also the large bike frame welds may well be over done do to the 360 ^ nature of the joint. Not all welds are designed to pass the 'bending' action in the bent test. A visual of proper weld penetration and bead characteristics will make it pass.
Hi love your expert welding skills... Every welder knows : the fondamental difference between brazing and welding is : for brazing : you only make the apport steel on fusion, without the base steel's and welding : you make the base and the apport steels on fusion. Result : the welding is more stronger, that's all ! ;)
I just want to say thanks for sharing your know-how.I have become a mutch better welder, since i have found your channel.Its great to learn from somebody that also loves welding.
The reason a braze is weaker doesn't have that much to do with the throat, but rather with the fact it's more comparable to gluing than welding. When you weld, you make the whole think one piece. With a braze, there is minimal melting that happens, so things stay separate.
You are supposed to have a tiny gap between the metals when brazing . The filler material needs to flow through the joint to gain the correct strength. A good braze can be seen on these tests if you can see filler material extending all the way through the joint and sneaking out the other side... a triangle of filler material when brazing is pretty much a "you will have to do it again disaster" The cross section of a braze joint should be the triangle with a strip of filler extending through the joint at the base.
Great quality and clearly said and shown information. I'm not personally a welder except for some metal sculpture welding and brazing way back and I learned a lot. Can you point me to any demonstrations of the best results anyone can expect from using a handheld gas torch like the one on the wall behind you? Thanks.
Some people were just born to be good welders and some poor. Im the latter :) Excellent presentation.. My guys who have taught me were average welders. Im a retired Firemen with a very,very bad back. It takes back to hold a steady hand. After a few weld and grinding they look OK. MIke Calif
I tig braze, but with thin wire and have a job stuffing it in fast enough. I tried some 2.4 rods and thought they were just to thick, I couldn't get enough heat in to them to melt them and not melt the parent metal. I would like to see a poolside vid of the frame tube braze to see how it's done.
Why would you dislike this video? As a certified Tig welder, I can attest that everything he said was correct and to the point. He lays down a nice bead and answers the important question of why braze rather than weld. Nicely done
I just wanted to let you know that I learned how to weld through your videos a long time ago, and you never stopped teaching me new things ever since.
The same is true for me.
Same!
Same here!
Also the same for me. I actually got to meet him briefly at fabtech 2018 it was like seeing your favorite celebrity but better.
Dude, RESPECT for additional conversion to metric system, this just stole my heart :D

I'm sure glad the braze on that bike tubing held up.
I didn't want to see Jody picking himself off the floor in the outtakes.
Great info.
I had the same thought, by back starting hurting when I say that :-O

just demonstrates why customers are dumb and choose non optimal manufacturing techniques and buy what they 'think' is good and cheap.

I enjoyed watching somebody doing a bit of tig welding as I was a welder. The most obscure weld I ever did was aluminIum too steel. Yes, that is what I did, and NEVER told anybody how I did it. Probably never will.
Some of the best welding and advice I've seen and herd.Keep up the great job.
Thanks pretty as a picture welds, I’m an industrial radiographer and auditor so been around and I’ll bet you’d get “A” ‘s for your welds. I’m also a home stick and oxy welder self taught and very jealous of your skill but it gives me something to aim, for very informative
A good close up of the 'failed' welds is a good indicator of the weld technique. Let's one know if you got to the intersection of materials. Also the large bike frame welds may well be over done do to the 360 ^ nature of the joint. Not all welds are designed to pass the 'bending' action in the bent test. A visual of proper weld penetration and bead characteristics will make it pass.
Hi love your expert welding skills... Every welder knows : the fondamental difference between brazing and welding is : for brazing : you only make the apport steel on fusion, without the base steel's and welding : you make the base and the apport steels on fusion. Result : the welding is more stronger, that's all ! ;)
Can you use silicone bronze for cast aluminum TIG brazing?
I just want to say thanks for sharing your know-how.I have become a mutch better welder, since i have found your channel.Its great to learn from somebody that also loves welding.
Looks like brazing might work for steel boat hulls with thin gauge sheet, to avoid warping seen when welding sheets thinner than 0.10".
I miss welding. I am thinking about jumping back in and taking another class. I never did any brazing maybe I could learn that.
Brazing is supposed to be between the parts of steel, filling the joint with as little bronze as possible.
The reason a braze is weaker doesn't have that much to do with the throat, but rather with the fact it's more comparable to gluing than welding. When you weld, you make the whole think one piece. With a braze, there is minimal melting that happens, so things stay separate.
You are supposed to have a tiny gap between the metals when brazing . The filler material needs to flow through the joint to gain the correct strength. A good braze can be seen on these tests if you can see filler material extending all the way through the joint and sneaking out the other side... a triangle of filler material when brazing is pretty much a "you will have to do it again disaster" The cross section of a braze joint should be the triangle with a strip of filler extending through the joint at the base.
Great video subject! Not sure there is anything else to know, but more brazing videos would be awesome!
your teaching is accurate, precise and easy to understand. thank you!
You are a true artist, beautiful welds, very appealing.
Great quality and clearly said and shown information. I'm not personally a welder except for some metal sculpture welding and brazing way back and I learned a lot.
Can you point me to any demonstrations of the best results anyone can expect from using a handheld gas torch like the one on the wall behind you? Thanks.
They did use that kind of joint in Brittian for their bicycles.
Some people were just born to be good welders and some poor. Im the latter :) Excellent presentation.. My guys who have taught me were average welders. Im a retired Firemen with a very,very bad back. It takes back to hold a steady hand.
After a few weld and grinding they look OK.

Man I would love a vid explaining more of that AC cleaning action
An excellent presentation. I'm putting this one in my reference file as a go to.
Interesting test here Jody, glad you take the time to make these vids so we can all learn a thing or two... Thanks 👊🏼
I tig braze, but with thin wire and have a job stuffing it in fast enough. I tried
some 2.4 rods and thought they were just to thick, I couldn't get enough heat in to
them to melt them and not melt the parent metal. I would like to see a poolside vid
of the frame tube braze to see how it's done.
I've going to try to repair a Bridgeport mill handle that was broken. Looks to be cast. Do some chamfering and try out the silicon bronze rig braze.
Pulling down on a pipe like that is a really good way to rearrange the location or width of your nose.
I do a lot of Braze work no F35 parts, sure looks better when you let a furnace do the work :)
