HARRISSafety-Silv 56% 1/16 Silver Solder Brazing Alloy 1 Troy Ounce, 75310 5631

This is the problem solve braze filler for joining many metals. It flows like water, almost being eutectic. And wets easily thanks to the 56% Ag. Yes, pricey but this isn't for making fillets, it is for flowing into tiny joints and acting as a solder.Been using this type and brand for 25+ years. Just cannot justify the gamble with off brands. I don't go through much, this troy ounce will last at least 10 years unless Lady Luck throws more high dollar miracle jobs in my reach.It is easy to use..joints need 5 to 10 thousandths of clearance. Use Harris flux, white for most and black for stainless. Either GTAW or oxyacetylene with just a frog's hair of reducing flame. Throw the heat on the larger of the side of the joint, then touch the filler to the smaller part. When its hot enough, it will flow like magic.The joint is a hint golden which to me is pure beauty. Very tarnish resistant except to halogen salts or sulfur compounds. Proper joints will just show a line.

This is good product at a good price, I did my homework. Hard solder (braze) that doesn't require $$fuel/tanks. With research, can be used on most metals. Harris puts out a line of industry product, but their web site product info seems to acknowledge the novices out there (me). A silver solder project, especially the higher percentage line, results in a clean artisan look. Done right, it can be as strong as bronze brazing. And aesthetically appealing. Don't know if that was the intention of Harris, but heck, opens up possibilities for me!. This maker(silver solder) was new for me. Browsing Amz opened up a whole world of product hustle. Not to mention, the help to shorten the "learning curve." I'm smiling!!

Just learning to silver solder from yourube videos, saw this product recommended and gave it a try, soldering some thin brass parts together (0.025" and 1/32"). You will need to purchase flux separately, but my first test went well enough that the second solder joint was installed in my clients project. Two thumbs up.

It’s silver solder

I use silver solder a lot where I work. To join carbide to steel, steel to steel, brass to steel, well lets just say if you need two metals joined I know how to do that. So I am very good at working with all silver solder products.I used this at home to give a keychain skull a silver coat. I also used to mend some old broken jewelry. with the 56%silver this is not the ideal solder for steels or brass or copper. Just because it's costly. If the silver color is not needed I would use a solder with a lower silver content.The most important things to know are the flux and the temp the target metal must be to get this product to flow across the desired area.If the metal that you wish the silver solder to flow to is too cool in temp, the solder will bead up. This is because you melted the solder with out the target metal heated to the melting point of the solder.With the right flux and preheated metal you will get the solder to flow out easy.One this you should know about the flux is try to keep it free of contaminates such as oil, dirt, soot or oxides. This can cause the solder not to bond the the target metals, even thou it may seem to be holding, they can detach with a few pounds of force.

Great silver wire for brazing medium to small parts. Best used with a small torch. I used Oxy-Ace but should also work fine with Oxy-Pro.

This is top-quality material, but don't be deceived by the picture. The container is very small and you only get 31 grams. I think you can find 56% silver brazing alloy far less expensive elsewhere. I was in a hurry.

I have used this product to braze a steel fitting to a stainless steel hydrostatic line. I needed the strength and the ability to bond to the two metals. I had previously tried silver-bearing phosphor bronze rod with poor results. The StaySilv flux works great for either.I also brazed a starter drive gear to it's hub with good results.I give it 5 ⭐️
