[QUOTE="tensixniner, post: 712129, member: 699"] Brazing is a different process. It can be strong but it's usually used with a lap joint, surface area is where the strength comes from. Think of it as soldering but hotter and with a stronger filler metal. Brazing is done below the melting point of the parent metal. Welding will melt the parent metal and a filler metal is usually added to the puddle. MIG is a terrible acronym ... GMAW= Gas Metal Arc Welding ... FCAW = Flux Core Arc Welding, are the proper terms. If you have 220V ... Use it. More power available and more choices for quality machines. I have a preference for Miller ... but at least go with a known manufacturer of welders. Solid wire and flux cored can be used on the same machine it depends on the flux cored wire your using. My preference is solid wire because it's cleaner. There is too much for me to explain here and there are so many books already published that will do a much better job. I'll see if I can at least find some links for you to start with. [/QUOTE]
