Guide For Choosing A Suitable Brazing Atmosphere

Brazing atmosphere refers to the atmosphere around the metals while they undergo the brazing process. There are broadly 3 types of brazing atmospheres that have their own advantages and disadvantages. Each of them works differently and gives different results. What atmosphere can be managed with what resources, is an important piece of information that you need before you actually go in for a particular brazing atmosphere.

Although some people categorize the brazing atmospheres in 4 heads - open atmosphere, protective inert gas (i.e Argon, Nitrogen and Helium), reducing gas (i.e Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, dissociated Ammonia) and vacuum brazing - we would cover all of them, but under three category headings, namely: Open Air, Controlled and Vacuum brazing atmospheres. To understand each of these in detail read the complete article.
