Re: brazing or silver soldering brass tubing
50/50 solder used in plumbing and sheet metal work melts at about 420*. as a test, i built a copper pipe burner with the end plates soldered on with 50/50. it stood up to the heat. silver solder has a far higher melting temp, but it's a bit more tricky to do, and takes a special flux. i have silver ...
