Soldering

A group of welding processes for joining metallic surfaces by heating them to suitable temperature and using a filler metal having a liquidus state not exceeding 450 °C and below the solidus of the base materials. The filler metal is distributed between the closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary action.
