Default Does anyone know, for sure, if brass can be welded to steel ?

In article ,
says...

Assuming that both pieces can take the heat, can something brass be
welded to steel ?? Thank you.



Brass and steel cannot be welded togther. However, they can be brazed, silvered
soldered, or plain (lead) soldered. Brazing is a very strong joint, nearly the
equal of welding in some cases. Silver solder can be nearly as strong, and
usually produces a much neater joint than brazing due to the wicking action of
the silver solder. It is also a lower temperature process than brazing.
