Base Filler Metal The presence of too much water vapor or Oxygen in
Metal the system will prevent the reaction from proceeding. The
dew point is used to determine the amount of water vapor in
Oxidation of the Base the system at given conditions. The dew point is the
Metal Seals Pores temperature at which an amount of water vapor in the system
will saturate the atmosphere. The typical dew point required
for brazing stainless steel joints in 100% Hydrogen is –50o F.

cleanliness is much more difficult for brazing stainless steel
components than brazing steel components. The Chromium
in the stainless steel forms a much more stable oxide at a
much lower Oxygen level than Iron.
