brazing a hydraulic line

   / brazing a hydraulic line #71  
I would have liked to see better flow as I reheated several times to build up the patch.
You got the brazing rod barely hot enough. And every time you reheat it it needs to get hotter to flow. This is in part because the alloy you used is alloying with the existing brazing alloy, and this raises the melting temperature. Still, if the brazing alloy wetted the surfaces then you should be fine. Anyway, it looks like you will have a good patch. Let us know when you get it hooked back up. Make sure all sealing surfaces are clean and oxide free.
