A method of welding by using a filler metal, having a liquidus above 840 øF (450 øC) and below the solidus of the base metals.

A group of welding processes which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to a suitable temperature and by using a filler metal, having a liquidus above 840 øF (450 øC) and below the solidus of the base materials. The filler metal is distributed between the closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary attraction.

The tendency of a material to fail suddenly by breaking, without any permanent deformation of the material before failure.

A surfacing variation in which surfacing material is deposited to achieve the required dimensions. See also buttering, cladding and hard-facing.

A rough ridge, edge, protuberance, or area left on metal after cutting, drilling, punching, or stamping.
