Yeah bronze welding is the correct term in England, at least in the bike biz (I don't know about general industrial usage). A few Americans call it that too. The idea is that brazing involves the filler sucking into a gap by capillary action, so making a fillet is not brazing by that definition.

In America the same thing is more commonly called fillet brazing. It's definitely brazing by my definition. As long as you know the terms are interchangeable, communication doesn't suffer.

I also call the filler brass, not bronze, but I'm not dogmatic about it; I think either are OK in the jargon of brazing. Many will tell you bronze is more correct but I don't care, I am old and not gonna change so don't bother!
