Hey folks,

I'm trying to teach myself to do some silver soldering. Does anyone know
of a good pamflet, book or website that reviews the differents alloys
and their melting temperatures, and specific metals they are good for
soldering? My current project involves soldering two pieces of mild
steel solid enough to do an interrupted cut on my lathe.

"The Brazing Book" from Handy & Harman is an excellent start:

After getting in some reading, pick up a sleeve of Forney's Sil-Flo solder.
It's more forgiving than most alloys, self fluxing on bronze and copper, and
easy to control, since there's a good range between flow and decomposition
temperatures.
