What's the difference between braze and solder?

Braze


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To solder with hard solder, esp. with an alloy of copper and zinc; as, to braze the seams of a copper pipe.
  • (v. i.) To harden.
  • (v. t.) To cover or ornament with brass.

Solder


Definition:

  • (n.) A metal or metallic alloy used when melted for uniting adjacent metallic edges or surfaces; a metallic cement.
  • (n.) anything which unites or cements.
  • (n.) To unite (metallic surfaces or edges) by the intervention of a more fusible metal or metallic alloy applied when melted; to join by means of metallic cement.
  • (n.) To mend; to patch up.
