I believe the phenomenon of interstitial bonding is a distinguishing characteristic that differentiates brazing (including silver brazing or silver soldering) from bonding with glues. Any of you engineers have some learned insight on this?
I know there are some specialized adhesives that incorporate metallic components and heat application to achieve instertial bonding.
