Found this: "The melting point of 50/50 solder is between 361° and 421° Fahrenheit (183° and 216° Celsius)." & "The melting point of soft silver bearing solder can range from 430°F to 535°F. Some examples include: Harris Stay Brite #8 Lead Free Silver bearing Solder: Has a solidus of 430°F Stay-Brite silver-bearing solders: Have a temperature range of 430°F to 535°F Hi-Line Silver Bearing Solder Paste: Flows smoothly at 430°F Of course, the "hard" silver solder has much higher melting points, akin to "brazing" temperatures. "Hard silver solder melts at a temperature of 1,365°F (741°C) to 1,450°F (788°C). It's often used for jewelry making and repairs, especially for bezels and as the first step in multiple soldering. Here are some other types of silver solder and their melting temperatures: Easy: 671–718°C (silver content 65%) Medium: 691–738°C (silver content 70%) Extra easy: 655–710°C |
