The difference between TIG brazing and TIG welding is brazing occurs above 840f but below the melting point of the base metal being joined.
Silicon bronze filler metal melts around 1800-1900f and carbon steel melts around 2800f.
Silicon bronze is a useful rod to have in your tig arsenal because i...
Super quick project but very useful is this slide hammer tool that uses a chisel and slide hammer for removing weld spatter
in this video you will see a quick little project... a pocket tungsten holder made with copper pipe.
