Brazing is nothing more than soldering except using brass instead of lead. The area needs to be completely clean and free of any foreign substances. Heat the base metal until dark to medium red color (depending on alloy) then melt some of the brass rod in the flame and start a puddle. You can buy brazing rods that are pre-fluxed or flux coated. The flux acts like acid/rosin for lead solder. You can also use bare brass rods and a can of brazing flux powder. To do this, warm the rod with the flame and dip into the flux to coat the rod then proceed as above with the joint. The flux coated rods are the handiest and very common now days so the cost difference is not much of a concern.

You never melt the base metal but join it using a thin layer of the brass rod. Detailed step by step proceedures can be found on some welding consumables mfg's web sites. Don't have any links handy but you can try searching "brazing" and see what you can dig up. It's not a very difficult process but will take some skill and practice to do properly. If done correctly, you can get as much as a 50,000 psi joint using braze but generally 10,000 to 25,000 psi joints are the norm for field work.
