I am starting to think that an awful lot of the welding I do could be done cheaper, quieter and more efficiently if I brazed !

General stuff of course.

The major problem with oxy welding aluminium is that there is no visual warning it is about to melt - so it is easy to make an awful mess. With brazing using a lower melting point material, you need less skill. But welding should be as good as new if done properly, where brazing will always be weaker and introduces a metal couple to encourage electrolytic corrosion.

Came across this section in my LR manuals while looking for something else.
