Can someone give the reasoning behind the seemingly arbitrary 450C/842F point of definition regarding Brazing and Soldering?

Thank you... Russ Newell

The difference is primarily related to the melting temperature of the filler metal. Brazing uses filler metals that melt above 450 deg C whereas, soldering uses filler metals that melt below this temperature.

Both processes do not result in the melting of base metals.
