The filler metal has a much lower melting temperature than the parts being joined. A flux is used to help the molten filler metal to flow and “wet” the space between the two parts. The parts are then allowed to cool which joins the work pieces together.
Because of the lower temperatures, this process is used when parts being joined are adversely affected by high temperatures such as those used in arc welding.
