BRAZING: HIGH-PRECISION METAL JOINING WITH UNMATCHED EXPERTISE

When you need dependable, high-strength metal joints, brazing is the process that delivers. Unlike welding, which melts the base metals, brazing uses a filler metal with a lower melting point to bond the components without altering their properties. At Franklin Brazing & Metal Treating, we offer specialized brazing services tailored to meet the exacting standards of industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, construction, firearms, trucking, agriculture equipment, general industrial, consumer products, and electric vehicles. Perhaps you searched for “brazing services near me” or “brazing companies near me,” and landed on our page. If you take one thing away, we hope it’s that our technical expertise and innovative processes, combined with our incredible 56,000-square-foot shop, ensure you get results that last—and you get them fast. Read on below to learn more about brazing.

WHAT IS BRAZING?

Brazing is a metal-joining process where a filler metal is heated above its melting point and distributed between two or more close-fitting parts by capillary action. The filler metal is drawn into the joint area, forming a strong, leak-proof bond as it cools. Brazing is ideal for joining dissimilar metals and for creating joints that need to withstand high temperatures or corrosive environments. It can also offer a more cost-effective metal joining solution compared to welding, delivering equivalent joint strength with less thermal distortion. This is why our customers in demanding industries choose to work with us as a dedicated brazing partner.

TEMPERATURE RANGE

Typically occurs between 840°F (450°C) and 2100°F (1150°C), depending on the materials involved.

CAPILLARY ACTION

Ensures the filler metal flows into tight gaps, creating a strong bond without melting the base metals.

JOINT STRENGTH

Often exceeds that of the base metals, making brazing ideal for critical applications.

VERSATILITY

Suitable for a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel alloys, and more.
