What is the strength of a brazed joint?
The strength of a brazed joint depends on several different factors. These being: the base metals being joined; joint clearance; filler metal used. Joint strength varies with use of different base metals and filler metals. Joint strength also depends on the gap between the two metals being joined. When the gap is increased the joint strength decreases. Often times, under the correct conditions, the braze joint strength will be equal to or greater than the strength of the base metals.
