Subject: [alt-beam] Bronze and solder
I have a local hardware store that sels all sort of bronze tube, bars,
and dowels. I was wondering how well bronze is when it comes to
soldering to it. nan plain 60/40 or Euclectic solder be used, or does it
require a special (silver?) solder, or is it like aluminuma nd simply
can't be soldered?
While I'm at it, is there any way to solder to aluminum (it oxidizes
instantly, and I realy don't think it's possible). Anyone know how to
build a mini electric welder??? I can't afford to buy one, and I don't
need it to be massive enough to weld a tractor frame either! Hehe! :)
