Filler material is drawn into the gap between the<br />

metal pieces to be joined by capillary action <strong>and</strong> the<br />

bond formation is initiated when the molten filer<br />

metal comes under intimate contact with the solid<br />

surface as in solid state welding.<br />

The nature of bond formed is much complex here,<br />

<strong>and</strong> invariably there is some degree of intersolubility<br />

between filler <strong>and</strong> base metals.<br />

This inter-diffusion inter diffusion at the base metal surface <strong>and</strong><br />

resulting alloy has a strength which is very close to<br />

that the base metal.
