• In brazing and soldering, no diffusion takes place at the interface; bond strength depends on adhesive forces, often increased through the use of a filler metal that produces a strong joint.
• Brazing and soldering are differentiated by the melting temperature of filler metals: brazing takes place above 450°C and produces stronger joints than soldering, ...
