Files are made from high carbon steel like AISI 1095 or some other high carbon alloyed steel. Welding a file usually results in immediate cracking but TIG brazing is different from TIG welding. In TIG brazing, the filler metal is usually either silicon bronze, aluminum bronze, or nickel aluminum bronze. All of which melt at a much lower temperature than the high carbon steel base metal used in this video. When done right, TIG brazing can avoid reaching the transition temperature of high carbon s
