Brazing is often done with tubing applications or other uses in plumbing or heat exchanger fabrication / manufacture. Brazing doesn't melt or otherwise change the shape of the base materials. It can be done on multiple areas at the same tine, even in accessible interior areas when done in a furnace.
Radiators and other heat exchangers can be assembled with a brazing paste or thin braze strips, clamped into a fixture, and the whole assembly placed into an oven. Assembly is heated and the whole thing is bonded.
It can also he used for high strength or high hardness materials such as tool steel to join parts without compromising the base material properties nearly as much as with welding. Also used to attach carbide or other materials to tooling shanks or cutters.
