WELDING OR BRAZING DISSIMILAR METALS

When design calls for joining dissimilar metals to form a pressuretight seal. welding or brazing is usually better than a mechanical joint. The most common processes for such metallurgical joining are: fusion-welding, brazing, and braze-welding. These heat the base metals and join them by melting or by wetting with a third material called the filler metal. Welding, which gives higher strength and is better suited to field operations, is preferable to brazing, unless the base metals are unsuitable. (auth)
