Re: Advise for Galvanized Steel

As a welder I prefer to TIG-braze galvanized steel with silicon-bronze filler material. I find it results in a strong weld joint and greatly reduces the amount of noxious fumes emitted by the joining process due to the low heat input of brazing and the fact that the base steel isn't actually melted. Several critical parts on our 2013 climbing mechanism were TIG-brazed with silicon-bronze filler.

Others have done a great job of addressing the safety concerns.
