Soldering SilverNo, it isn't hot enough. IT DEPENDS, if two silver plates are overlapped and then soldered with say electical (Tin/Lead) ie Resin cored solder then YES. But if two silver rods or bars or sheet are to be joined end to end etc then NO. The criteria is STRENGTH of the joining material and of course the COLOUR of the joint. THE process is as follows; Use a very hot Mini- Blow Torch ie. Butane or Propane torch, or Oxy- Propane welder and obtain High Silver content Silver Brazing rods (about 20%to 40% silver content) from Model engineering suppliers or Welding suppliers, and Practice first joining small peices of Brass or Copper. The best Silver brazing rods for your purposes are the FLUX-COATED types. EXPERIENCE AND PRACTICE WILL MAKE YOU VERY PROFICIENT.
Yes, if you buy a special type of solder. You can buy different solders for different metals or for different heat levels. Just go to your local hardware or a crafting or hobby store to buy these. The people there can offer great advice on whatever project you are doing.

Tools used for soldering?
The main tools for soldering include a soldering iron, a stand for the soldering iron, and solder. You'd likely use other tools such as brushes, picks, heat sinks, solder wick, desoldering irons, etc.
How does a soldering iron works?
An electric heating element heats the tip just above the melting temperature of the solder being used.
What is the difference between electric soldering iron and ordinary soldering iron?
An electric soldering iron is heated by an electric resistance coil inside. Others may be heated either by a gas(like propane) flame, or by sticking them in a forge between uses.
How do you break in a new soldering iron?
Look at the 'bit', the part that gets hot that you do the soldering with. It should have an inclined flat surface on the end. If it has not, make one by using a file. Heat the soldering iron up. At the same time get the solder out, which should be tin solder with internal flux. When the iron is hot, quickly file the surface of the bit clean and apply the solder, which should immediately 'take' to the surface. That's it.
What is a solder remover?
Solder remover is an object or device for removing solder, usually from printed circuit boards. It can be in the form of a copper mesh called solder wick, a separate vacuum device you use alongside a soldering iron, or a desoldering iron. A desoldering iron gets hot like a soldering iron, but the tip is hollow and there is a squeeze bulb mounted on top. So you heat up the solder on the board and then use the bulb to vacuum up the solder and then deposit in a safe place such as a can or ash tray.
What is the characteristic of soldering iron?
Thre two types of soldering iron are straight and hatchet soldering iron
What is iron tin?
Tinning the Soldering iron is when the hot iron is coated with solder to aid in soldering and heat transfer

How to sauder wire without sauder iron?
You can solder wires without a soldering iron using a lighter.

Why do you think a low-power soldering iron is suitable for electric work?
When working on computer boards or any electronic equipment, heat can ruin the item. A low wattage soldering iron it only creates enough heat to melt the soder. Do not use acid core solder on any electrical type soldering jobs.

Use a soldering iron and solder it back on.
