Brazing is an essential, growing method for permanently joining different materials to create complex assemblies. If these brazed assemblies are to survive in a wide variety of end-use service conditions, they must be brazed properly. For proper brazing, a number of key steps must be thoroughly understood and taken into account by designers and production personnel. Disregarding these steps will put brazed components at risk, resulting in premature failure, product liability and lost vendor reputation. Tempering must be performed on surface-hardened steels, but generally the temperatures used are rather low, causing little loss of hardness.
