Soldering requires less heat then Brazing ALSO solder = lead but many call silver bearing aloys "solder" Brazing normally had a tensile strenght of 87,000 PSI with a melting point over 1,200 DEG F Soldering has a melting point @ several hundred deg depending on the composititon of the ally 95 - 5 40 -60 60 -40 etc 95/5 is a good choice for domestic H2O fittings. a 15% silver (sylfos) would be a good choice for a higher pressure application (refrigeration, a/c, etc) Silver bearing solder has it's own applications with dissimilar metals using varied flux combinations. lc
