Design, meticulous preperation and correct completion of the brazing process are vital for the finished brazing result. Remember:

• Clean the brazing surface in order to achieve the best bonding between the brazing alloy and the parent metal.
• Flux should be applied in connection with the cleaning process.

• Apply heat equally so that the parent metals reach brazing temperature together.
• Apply heat to the brazing gap via the parent metal.
  (See illustration)
• Do not overheat the brazing alloy.
• Do not apply pressure to the brazed joint before it has cooled.
• Remove all flux residues - these are more than often corrosive.
