You clean both surfaces to be joined with a circular steel brush, then heat and 'tin' each piece, with the larger piece being second. When the larger piece is tinned and still warm, insert the small piece into it and seal the rim by running solder all round it..

∙ 13y agoBrass is an alloy of copper and zinc and the same soldering procedure can be used to solder each.
As long as the base metal is cleaned of oxide and properly fluxed there should be no problem soldering
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoAnswer You have a couple of options. Easiest is to use a special zinc based solder called Alutite, or its close cousin Durafix.
Try a net search for either 'Alutite or 'Durafix' to learn more.
Gas welding is possible too, but you need a special tip/torch to keep oxygen out of the melted zone.
Answer You can't solder aluminum. You heli arc it which is like arc welding steel. Special welder just for aluminum.

Is soft solder a good conductor of electricity?
Yes: flux core solder is. No: acid core solder is not.
What are the six types of bad solder connections?
Six types of bad solder connections include a cold joint with insufficient wetting (Pin) or insufficient wetting (Pad), a disturbed joint, an overheated joint, too much solder, or not enough solder.
Does solder bend?
Yes. solder is very flexible and soft.
What is SN63BS solder?
SN63BS is SN63 in Bar Solder form
Is solder conductive?
A Conductor, SOLDER IS NOT AN INSULATOR. The most common types of solder are made of tin and lead. Another type is silver solder. All of the materials used are metals and are good conductors of both heat and electricity. If you solder something you would notice if you ever held a wire (without protection) while applying solder to it your finger would probably receive a burn (speaking from experience).
What flux and what solder is used to solder boat propellers?
The majority of boat props are aluminum. You can't solder it, it has to be welded or heli arced.
Can too much solder destroy aluminum radiator?
yes because you are many when the enemy's many too you didn't no
What makes copper a better choice than aluminum to use for hot water lines?
Easier to solder /braze/ flair / compression
What metals can go in a fish tank Is soft wire bad It looks like solder but may be aluminum?
Lead wire is sometimes used to weigh down plants.
How do you solder two metals?
with solder
Is it safe to solder inside?
Yes, usually no problem. If you know how to solder, then solder away.
Is flux in solder?
In some solder it is. But even if it is in the solder you should still use flux.
What are the pros and cons of aluminum radiator equipment?
Aluminum radiator equipment is more efficient for cooling, it is also cheaper and lighter than copper and brass types. Aluminum is easily recycled, whereas brass radiators are more difficult due to the solder used. Aluminum may corrode a little faster than other types, but many coolants are being made now that are more compatible with aluminum radiators. Aluminum is also a bit more difficult to repair than other types of metals that are used in radiators.
Is soft solder a good conductor of electricity?
Yes: flux core solder is. No: acid core solder is not.
Is solder a metallic compound?
Solder is a metallic alloy
What is solder used in?
solder is use for to make jewles
What is solder melting point?
Depends on the kind of solder.
