Braze

/breɪz/ verb

Definition

To solder metal pieces together using brass or a similar hard solder with a high melting point.

Etymology

From Old French 'braser' meaning to work with brass, from 'bras' (brass). The process involves using brass as the bonding material.

Kelly Says

Brazing creates stronger joints than regular soldering because brass has a much higher melting point — it's the heavy-duty way to permanently fuse metal!
