The problem with lead/tin solder is that it is not a great conductor.
A good crimp puts the wire in direct contact with the silver plating of

Silver solder might be a lot better, but for the 350amp contacts we
used, the cost would be prohibitive. (Even lead/tin solder in the
quantities we would have needed would have been expensive.)

What job or project was that? How many quantities?
