Default Does anyone know, for sure, if brass can be welded to steel ?

Silver Soldering IS brazing. Unless you are talking about a low
temperature silver bearing solder like Stay-Brite #8, which is just
soldering. Different brazing allows melt at different temperatures,
from about 1200 degrees to about 1700 degrees F.

NOTE: Do NOT use the stick silver bearing brazing rods that contain
phosphorous (like 6% or 15%) when brazing anything to STEEL.. It will
form a brittle joint that will eventually break under stress. Use 35%
to 50% silver bearing brazing allows that have no phosphorous instead.
