    I believe welding in a Nitrogen atmosphere (with oxyacetylene for the heat, not requiring ambient oxygen for flame) is the preferred method?

    Yes, provided the flame is slightly oxygen poor - I.e. a reducing flame. You can see a pure metal spot, as I have, form on the surface of oxidized copper under the flame. Only way you will see that copper surface is pinkish.
