ABSTRACT
A very large number of pure metals and alloys are employed as brazing filler materials. It has been estimated that if all of the different materials in use across the world were tabulated, the list would include close to 800 different compositions. Clearly, that such a large number of filler materials exists points to the extremely wide use and versatility of the brazing process in joining technology. However, and unfortunately, it also results in it being potentially confusing to newcomers, and other nonspecialist users of the brazing process.
