I grew up in the family business of heating, ventilating, air condtioning, and plumbing and was twice Castro County Spelling Bee Champion-runner-up and I just can't stand it any more. It is "braze" and "brazed" and "brazing".
The difference between brazing and soldering is the temperature. Brazing is done at a substantilly substantially higher temperature than soldering. In the air-conditioning trade "SilFos" is used in a brazing process to make the refrigeration piping joints. It is 5% or less of silver and the 95% is something like brass or bronze. Also used in medical gas piping systems. Sheet steel can also be brazed (or soldered). Brazing is much stronger.
Please forgive me for nit-picking.
Best,
Mike
