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

Used this for silver soldering stainless steel and it worked great.

I bought this to attempt to put together some thin pieces. I brazed some brass to brass and some brass to stainless. This worked great. It melted good with a propane torch. But it is important that you remember that the work piece is what has to get up to temp. If you are using a propane torch, you parts have to be fairly small.

Is what it is!

Came unboxed, I hope it was 56% silver, but it worked great on Stainless steel to stainless steel brazing.

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!

very good stuff

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!!

new to silver brazing but this works great

Works best when the surface is heated to dull orange. Excellent result for joining a stainless vessel to a copper water-cooling line.

This solder comes in a nice plastic can. It should be 31 gram of it, bit I have measured 32.5 gram - not a bad deal. The solder is in the form of 1/16 diameter wire coiled for convenience. It measures .062 in diameter. I did not try it yet, but hope it will work with Harris black flux and propane torch.
