What percent silver is the solder?
1804075
Technically I don't know, but, I am of the understanding that it is a very small percentage.

Very small percent. Needs a very clean surface and more heat than lead solder to adhere well.

I saw somewhare it was 5 or 6 percent. I use it on RC Control airplanes , like for making landing gear. It flows very good withA weller 100 watt soldering gun. It makes a lot stronger joint than regulag solder. I will be useing more of it. It's GREAT !!!

Maybe, this smelting pot is meant for lead and pewter, which melts around 600-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Silver melts at roughly 1,700 degrees. Because this smelter doesn't specify how hot it gets and since I haven't maxed it out to find out I don't know. But probably not.

30A, we've run them up to 17A, giving a safety factor. They are copper with silver plating, perfect for REDUCING internal resistance and I^2 R loss.

It is just Standard solder... not like the type used on circuit boards....good for basic soldering needs...

The roll I have is on a plastic spool that has an outside diameter of two inches, but the inside has a open axle of three quarters. The solder itself is about 1/8" to 3/16" and appears to have three layers on the spool. Roy T.

The pic is different than the spool I received. "Mine says LEAD FREE SOLDER WIRE Size Sn99.3 Cu0.7 Dia 1.0mm", and the spool is green.

I believe the comment about using "silver solder" may be miss leading. It probably means silver "looking" solder. Silver solder is made of silver and is not normally used for electronics wiring. It is not necessary to use solder that is a smaller diameter than the wire as many wires in electronics are very small diameter. Large diameter solder such as 1/8th inch is normally intended for plumbing. Any small diameter solder is suitable for electronics.

The solder requires a heat source to cure. It will dry up, not cure, if left out exposed to the air. It won't dry up that much overnight it should still be curable.

Sorry I can't confirm either way. The solder comes exactly as pictured, coiled like a spring, no identifying marks on the solder or on the box. I actually had my own lead free so just used that.

I did some jewelry making with silver solder before in school, but we used torches, not a solder gun. We used natural gas torches, but you could do it with a propane one. I think you would have a better time if you bought a torch and some other equipment to do this kind of work. Don't forget your protective gear too! (faceshield, ventilation, etc)

I would have no idea. I do know that it does pull solder fumes through the unit very well.

The silver part is about 1 1/2 inch high but not deep, hope that answer your question.

Do not know at this time I only used the one that was on it when I got it, it is a good soldering gun all I did was replace it with the same basic one I had for about 40 years...

Not sure, I thought rear defroster grid is made of copper.. Artic silver is 90%+ pure silver..i used it to bond the processor to the head sink unit on my desktop PC.

It is silver. I don't know o w how many notches because the motherboard died and I got rid of it.

I like the answer to a similar question. Start at 3 o'clock and adjust it as necessary. Much depends on the size of the element you are soldering, and the diameter of the solder.

The composition is 3.4 to 3.8% silver, the remainder is tin. Hope this helps.
