aluminum wire for soldering?
wrote:
recommend a retail source or recycled source of 1xxx aluminum that is
solderable with standard flux and solder?
a suggestion was bus bars-are bus bars solderable?
IME aluminum is solderable if one cleans the surface *immediately* prior
to applying solder...IOW, heat the metal, scrape the area to be soldered
while hot and feed in the solder. It's a PITA, but marginally doable.
