I think you have comprehension problems
I am not talking about any form of solder that melts at low temperature
with or without lead silver etc
You keep bringing that up
I am talking about a form of soldering or brazing normally called in
australia and if the truth were known in the UK by the term silver
soldering in which you need a temperature above red to achieve.

May be the problem is word meanings in different countries
It makes no difference to the fact that plumbers extensively use the
first silver solder on this list in Australia.

It seem that maybee the UK does not which seem strange to me as this
method is the most permanent and safest.
If I had joints in concrete or walls or floors or anywhere inaccessible
I would much rather them silver soldered with (copper silver phosphor
alloy)(melting point red)than any form of soft solder


Help us here. What is the melting point of the solders used in Australia?
