Soft solder is likely around 45% eg. it could vary massively from company to company and application. A recipe for hard solder is. 1/2 parts tombac brass, to 1 part pure silver. Adding 5% zinc to this, would lower its melting temperature enough to call it softer solder for aplication. Caution, careful of this recipe for jewelry application. it might not meat your countries standard for silver content and you could be breaking the law. Research the percentage of silver necessary to meat the requirements. do not add metals to it you know nothing about. You could hurt someone. All of this should be do buy someone with good knowledge.

What sterling silver to use for soldering jewelry?
Typically one solders sterling silver with silver solders. There is not a solder called "sterling solder." You can choose from an array of silver solders ranging from easy (extra soft) through hard. Soft solders have lower silver content and melt at a lower temperature. Hard solders have higher silver content and flow at higher temperatures. If you are doing multiple solder joints on a single piece of solder you will need to use several grades of solder. However, if you are just creating a single solder joint than it is best to use a soft or medium solder.
What works on repairing broken sterling silver?

Are solder joints mechanically too weak?
Depends on the solder used. If silver solder is used it is actually stronger than the pipe itself.
