C3 Committee on Brazing and Soldering

C3 Committee on Brazing and Soldering

SCOPE

Responsible for the advancement of brazing and soldering technology through the development of specifications for the many brazing and soldering processes and filler metals. It actively pursues the expansion of brazing and soldering education through its ongoing involvement with creating university-level courses, its voluminous brazing handbook, as well as its International Brazing and Soldering Conference held every three years.
