Temperature can be one consideration, but the main reason for using the silver in a c work is its ability to withstand the greater pressures. Its cost would keep me from using it for everyday electrical soldering which is usually mechanically sound first and uses the solder for the best connection and reduce any corrosion inside a joint if it is just wrapped.

tell him to have kester make him up a 5% or 6% silver solder. Some folks just want to believe. My question is this: if a 40% or 50% silver solder is somewhere what they use for refridgerant tubing, why *isn't it also for audio; is it the temp required would fry many components? I didn't have the terms right, but that was the idea. They are great fuses, if you can stretch that far. Best Regards and thanks.
