MIG Brazing: What, Where, When, And Why?
I-CAR · June 25, 2019
Summary
This article explains that MIG brazing is a low-temperature attachment method used to join heat-sensitive advanced steels without compromising their properties. It emphasizes that MIG brazing requires specific panel preparation, technique, and machine setup, and must never be used as a substitute for a traditional weld unless explicitly documented by the OEM.
What to do on the job
Always consult vehicle-specific body repair manuals to verify where MIG brazing is required, and never substitute MIG brazing for a weld without explicit OEM documentation.
How to use it
Use this document to justify why MIG brazing cannot be substituted with standard MIG welding (or vice versa) during negotiations with insurers. It highlights that attachment methods are engineered specifically by the OEM based on steel properties and heat sensitivity, making adherence to OEM-specific repair manuals non-negotiable.
