Both brazing and soldering are methods of joining metals, but they differ in temperature and the filler metals used. Soldering involves lower temperatures and solder, a filler metal with a lower melting point than the pieces being joined. Brazing, on the other hand, uses higher temperatures and a filler metal with a higher melting point, resulting in stronger joints.
