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

For what I needed it has to high of a melting point.

This solder was perfect for soldering copper tubing to steal replacing my compressor and dryer in my LG fridge. Flowed perfectly.

At first I could not get the tiny jewelry parts hot enough to melt the thick solder without destroying the part. Then I hammered the end of solder flat and it worked fine. Using butane pencil torch.

I having good success with this slide ring beaded Sterling silver wire together! Ty

I needed to replace a hose spigot handle for a spigot which has a round, fluted stem for the handle. Theres only one replacement for this (old style) handle, and its customer ratings are poor. I decided to make my own from a rod and a nut. I silver brazed the nut to the rod after I had drilled a hole though the nut. Then I placed the new handle on the spigot stem, and drilled through the hole in the nut, through the stem, and out the other side of the nut. A nail, pushed through the nut/stem and then bent, fastens the handle to the stem. I used less than an eighth of an inch of Harris Safety Silv (with their Sta Silv flux) to accomplish the task. I didnt know about Safety Silv until I watched YouTubes video channel The Crafsman (no letter t) episode on silver soldering (actually brazing, since it requires more heat than soldering). Is makes a very strong joint!

I used Safety-Silv to braze keys together, it works well.

Oxidized faster than any other 50% silver solder Ive used before. Melts at a REALLY low temp for 50% silver solder.

Flows very well

I needed to make a decent joint on stainless steel. Silver soldering is just about cool enough to avoid sensitizing the metal (sensitizing it makes it no longer stainless and causes it to corrode catastrophically--look it up if youre messing with stainless!). This, along with Harris SSBF1 Stay Silv Brazing Flux (the black stuff, which is fairly expensive in a 1 lb jar, which was the smallest I could get here on Amazon) flowed easily, and seems to have produced a good result. If it corrodes, itll be my fault for getting it too hot, not the flux or solder, which worked really well and were easy to use with a regular MAPP torch.

Works good, must use Flux that is for it
