Miller has a useful, short article on TIG brazing with silicon bronze
up on their website:

It's worth knowing about.
It has SO many applications. Brazing itself is a handy tool to have ,
as is Tig process - and combined they complement each other very well.
The heat control of the TIG torch compared to a gas/oxy torch is
beyond compare, and the gas lens of the tig torch, combined with the
use of AC current, is more effective than a flux coated spelter in
providing a clean consistent "weld"

Sweat brazing is perhaps easier with a gas torch, but fillet brazing
is much easier with TIG


I find myself using tig brazing and silver soldering a LOT. Its so
easy to silver solder with tig its amazing. I recently repaired some
tourquoise jewelry for my wife using a .020 electrode. I knew I
couldnt use flame as it was way to delicate in that area..and gritted
my teeth and dialed it down to 10 amps on the high...and fixed it
right up. I still cant produce a beautiful tig weld..but I can stick
stuff together pretty good. (Grin)
