Gas Welding - Brass

Process of Joining Two Metal Pieces

LPG and oxygen supply is adjusted to obtain a blue flame.
Piece to be welded are heated overall.
Powdered flux is taken on the brass rod before welding.
A small spot is welded.
For further spots, pieces are pressed with plier while welding to ensure minimum gap.
Filler rods are welded together to fully utilize it.
After welding multiple spot, complete joint is welded.
Craftsman (Mr. Ramesh Thathera) welding the joint.
The piece is roteted using a plier.
Gravity has to taken in account while welding.
After welding, the piece is left in open to slowly cool down.
Traditional welded decorative piece – ‘Kalash’.

Brass welding or brazing is a process of joining two pieces of brass by heating them slightly above the melting point along with a filler material (i.e. brass rod). Filler material flows in the gaps and cools down to join the two pieces. Filler material is used along with flux (locally known as ‘Suhaga’) to prevent the metals to form oxides. Since, LPG gas is used for heating, it is commonly known as ‘Gas welding’. After welding, the piece behaves like a single metal unit and the joint is seamless.
