The color of the joint is "grey/dull silver" when I look at the object I used it on. This is different from those things that are brazed using brass rod, which keep the
Tig brazing should not be done with this material
Yes, I have brazed it with propane, but it takes a long time. Mapp or propane oxygen works much quicker.
Stainless to copper works great'br>white or black flux as suggested by Harris if there is a stainless steel component

Various metals can be joined using this braze filler to solve the problem. In fact, it behaves like water almost to the point of It also moistens easily thanks to its 56% agarose content. The material may be pricey, but it is not for making fillets, rather, it is used to fill small joints and act For more than 25 years I have used this type and brand. Putting off brands at risk is just not a good idea. Since I don't go through much, when I do go through something I can expect it to last at least ten years unless Lady Luck throws me more high dollar miracle jobs my way. You can get started right away. To get a perfect fit at joints, 5 to 10 thousandths of a millimeter is needed. For most surfaces, use white Harris flux, and stainless steel, use black Harris flux. There has to be a frog's hair of reducing flame either in GTAW or Oxyacetylene. Using the heat, apply the filler to the larger side of the joint, and touch it to the smaller side. The filler will flow like magic when it gets hot enough. To me, it is pure beauty to have a joint that has a hint of golden coloration. This metal has a very high resistance to tarnish, except for that caused by A joint will only show a line if it is properly joined.
You have to practice a little. To repair a double boiler made of stainless steel, I used this metal solder. handle was broken in four spots where spot welds joined it. Despite its strength, this solder is very brittle. As this is my first use of this kind of solder, I'm learning a lot. While I have some experience doing electrical and plumbing work, this is much more difficult. It is recommended that a first time user practice on a temporary repair where the final appearance does not matter. On YouTube, you can find good tutorials.
It is one of the few replacements for this older style handle, and customer ratings indicate a poor product. In the end, I decided to make my own using just a rod and As soon as I drilled a hole in the nut, I silver brazed it to the rod. After that, I drilled through the new "handle" and the stem, and out the other side of the nut, where the hole in the nut had been. Grabbing the handle to the stem is done with a nail that is pushed through the nut/stem and then bent. In order to accomplish the task, I used less than an eighth of an inch of Harris Safety Silv (with their Sta Silv flux). Until I watched an episode of YouTube's "The Craftsman" channel (no letter "t") about silver soldering (actually brazing, since it requires more heat than soldering), I was unaware of Safety Silv. There is a lot of strength in this.
Soldering stainless steel and mild steel is what I do. I really like how it works. The soldering iron has been used to solder Mild Steel and Stainless Steel. To get it to melt and run, I use MAPP Gas, and you don't need Oxy gas.
For a 50% silver solder, it melts at a VERY low temperature.
I am grateful to the DIYer who made it. My research has led me to believe this is a good product at a good price. An alternative to hard solder (brazing) that does not require fuel or tanks. Research suggests that this chemical can be used on a wide variety of The Harris Company produces industry products, but their web site product information seems to be geared toward individuals like me (an industry novice). In addition to its professional appearance, silver solder projects, especially those with a higher percentage, create a clean, This technique can be as strong as bronze brazing if it is done right. It is both aesthetically pleasing and effective. I have no idea if that was Harris' intention, but hell, it opens up so many Having never encountered silver solder before, I was unfamiliar with this maker. It opened up the entire world of products hustle to me when browsing Amz. The learning curve can be shortened by using this software. It is a great feeling to be.
With Harris, you can depend on quality and dependability. There are no surprises here. As it states, it is what it claims to be. Silver soldering can be learned by almost anyone with a little practice. In order to do this, the metal must be prepared, the right flux used and the temperature must rise rapidly to red I have enough propane to heat my home - You must make sure that you are applying the proper amount of heat to the metal to be soldered rather than using oxy-fuel It is likely that the flux will be combusted before the soldering temperature is reached by the acetylene. Using white flux for small tasks and black flux for larger ones that require more time to heat up is the best choice.
In addition to carving with it, I am also able to bend and re-bend After parts are soldered, place them where they belong. is the only silver solder I use, along with MuggyWeld.
