I tried something similar a few years ago and didn't find it easy to get
a good result (and I am pretty experienced with silver soldering on
steel, copper, and copper alloys). That was with thinner rods though.
These are quite substantial (50 cm long, 1 cm dia).


I've soldered aluminium usimng carrs flux. Dont breathe it! Works well


Did a bit of oxy welding on it as a prentice. Hard work
