Silver solder is silver-based filler metal that has been used for years by welders. It’s a silver alloy with some other metals added in, which makes it stronger and able to take more punishment than typical aluminum or copper soldering wire.
What is silver solder used for?
These are available with either 2% or 5% Silver and are used primarily for joining Copper to Copper, where, if the metal is clean, no Flux need be used. Silver Solder can be used to join most common metals, including Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass, Cast Iron and Dissimilar Metals.
Does silver solder make a difference?
In general silver makes the solder stronger and has a higher melting point. We use it in high temperature applications such as downhole. Copper in the alloy lowers the melting point and makes it somewhat easier to work, and has some chemical advantages when soldering to copper conductors.
