What a brazier does
Braziers operate various equipment and machinery in order to join two metal pieces together, by heating, melting and forming a metal filler between them, often brass or copper. They follow a similar process to soldering but with higher temperatures using torches, soldering irons, fluxes and welding machines to join aluminum, silver, copper, gold or nickel.
