brazing rods ?

[sardine]

I have a tube of bog standard brazing rods, can use them for silver soldering ? Will they flow in capillary joints ?

I normally use easyflow and flat strip silver solder.

if they are brazing rods (usually a copper alloy) then they are different to silver solder rods (usually 50% silver+) but they will work in the same way and with the same theory. The graze will flow to wherever there is flux and work using a capillary action

You will need a lot more heat to braze than solder

And a different flux due the higher temperatures. 'Silver solder' covers a lot of ground (and very little silver to 60 odd %) and is actually brazing albeit at lower temps than 'proper brazing'

If your 'bog standard' brazing rods are C2 (sifbronze #1) they melt at just under 900C
