|  brazing questions
im going to try brazing a chassis soon and i just have a few questions. is the coiled satey silv better than the rod type. also im going to try using a turbo torch it runs off acetylene. i use it at work to solder pipe.  i think it will work it burns hotter than mapp gas. but i will just get a small tip and turn down the regulator.

Should work great. What are you planing on brazing with? Regular brazing rod or Harris Saftey Silv 56? I highly recomend the Safety Silv personally. It is easy to work with, has a lower melting point and is stronger then the material you are working with. I mean this stuff literally flows like solder so it leaves a nice clean joint in which the tubing will fail before the joint will. Do a search on this stuff. |

im going to use saftey silv 56. i was thinking man that stuff is expensive to day at work. then i started to talk to my forman about and as it turns out he did a job last year brazing up a couple of cooling coils. he brought me in 5 qz or it still brand new in the coil with flux.

Looks good, I would use it because... acetylene has a higher welding temperature (3160 °C, 5720 °F), MAPP is 2927 °C (5301 °F) but has the advantage that it requires neither dilution nor special container fillers during transport, allowing a greater volume of welding gas to be transported at the same given weight. |

Been thinking about messing around with making a tube frame but have no brazing experience. Other than buying the above, what else do you have to buy? Some gloves to handle the hot metal while it's being brazed? I would do the brazing in my garage so should be fine to set things on the concrete, right?

I have mechanics gloves to hold the metal, works great plus you dont get flux on your skin, if you do wipe it off your hands will get rashes and such. and yeah on concrete is fine to work on i would think. I work on a piece of tile on my workbench Last edited by lohocla; 03-24-2007 at 11:39 AM. | |
