I didn't feel the need to quote the whole thing but 2 points: first, what our
British cousins call bronze welding is in fact brazing. Second, you can
fillet braze a frame or any material. By defination welding involves melting of the
base metal to be joined, usually with a filler. Brazing does not. Thus you
can fillet braze a frame-no melting of the base metal-or weld it-m,elting the
base material-with a gas or TIG torch.
