Default beginner's questions about soldering

Stainless steel type 304 and 316can be silver soldeereed using a
high-temperature flux, but beware - the silver solders I have used contain
some zinc, which embrittles stainless at red heat, so to make thin
stainless bits join together, I had to work quickly and quench quickly,
before the zinc could work its way in between the steel crystals. Any
interest?
