Welding Steel Bike. Brazing is similar to TIG welding but uses a filler material that is melted and used to join the tubes. Joining steel tubes together involves similar welding processes to aluminum frames but further options exist including Brazing and the use of lugs.
Please inquire as to the availability of instruction in fillet brazing. Another Mission powder coated blue. I started by cutting apart old used frames and reconfiguring them for my prototype suspension or gear changing systems or whatever was on my mind.
Welding melts the frame tubes together to create a single solid piece of metal.
Steel Bike Frame Welding Fabrication - Is this a lost art. It takes me 15 minutes at most to weld a bike frame. The CX05 Steel touring bike frameset employs custom-shaped Crom R725 triple-butted tubes with all decent tig hand welding joint conical CNCd head tube and carbon fiber fork. Bike frames are welded together using TIG tungsten inert gas welding rather than MIG welding.
