When metals are heated they expand and when cooling they contract. If the two metals being brazed are manufactured from different compositions they will have different expansion and contraction rates.
- Page 9 Flametech Lite Assembly & Safety Instructions JOINTS CLOSE TO EACH OTHER When brazing joints that are close to each other you run the risk of when applying heat to the joint being brazed, the joint adjacent to it re-melts. This can be avoided by using alloys with different melting temperatures.
