I use two methods for joining tubes, both of which can be called brazing. I silver braze when building lugged frames, and fillet braze, or brass braze, when building non-lugged frames. I do not TIG weld. If you’re interested, on the internet you can find a lot of good, detailed explanations of what is involved in the process of brazing bicycle frames.
