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

it was just what i wanted ,,

You get what they say. Others will cheat you on amount of silver in the silver braze.

It takes a lot of heat to braze, not a good thing for some metals; also, it ends up a bit toasty (it breaks) It is good for some work and hobbies.

Used this with propane torch on small crack in cast Iron. Clean well, apply generous amount of Stay-Silv flux, get it to a dull red heat and apply the silver solder.

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 isnt 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 dont 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 frogs 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 works just great for welding bandsaw blades together

This is top-quality material, but dont 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.

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.

This is good product at a good price, I did my homework. Hard solder (braze) that doesnt 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. Dont 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. Im smiling!!
