What are the two methods used in silver brazing?

The two methods used in silver brazing primarily involve specific techniques related to how the filler metal is applied and heated during the process. The insert method typically refers to using a pre-placed filler material at the joint, where the pieces to be joined are heated, allowing the filler to melt and flow into the joint. The face feed method involves melting a rod of brazing filler metal and feeding it into the joint, allowing it to bond as it flows due to the heat applied to the base materials.

These methods are essential in ensuring a strong and effective bond in silver brazing applications. Understanding these two distinct approaches allows for better control over the brazing process, ensuring that joints are welded effectively without compromising the integrity of the materials involved.
