Brazing is a metal joining process utilizing a filler metal that melts above
840ºF and below the melting point of the base metals. The filler metal is
drawn into the joint by capillary attraction producing a sound, leak-proof
connection. The above sentences briefly describe a process that is an
integral part of manufacturing, installing, and repairing refrigeration and air
conditioning systems. This handbook is designed to assist the serviceman
or contractor in making sound brazed joints and selecting the correct filler
metal for each application.
