Copper Soldering

Soldering can be divided into two methods:
􀂋 Soft soldering using alloys that melt
below 350°C
􀂋 Hard soldering using stronger, high
melting point alloys
In regard to soldering Copper alloys, hard
soldering is often referred to as Silver
soldering.
Soft soldering normally uses Tin based
solders for joining Copper and brass when
high mechanical strength is not required.
The method is commonly used for joining
