I know you can to steel and brass, never tried coper though. I know you can braze copper but not sure if you can braze it to steel.

I wouldn't recomend taking a torch to Galvanized steel. Unless you sand or chemically remove all the galvanized coating off it first. The fumes from the coating are extremely toxic. But, any other steel should be fine.

| the galvanizing makes not difference when brazing. soak the part in some muriatic acid before brazing to remove the coating. for very small coated parts such as nuts and bolts, I just braze it and try not to breathe |
