fulton Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Have noticed in various threads, comments that Stainless Steel is difficult to solder, I have found Carrs Brown Lable flux, with ordinary multi core solder and an iron at 400 degrees to work very well, have been soldering brass posts to etched Stainless Steel chain link fencing, and an etched Stainless Steel signal gantry kit, all in HO. Post just to let everyone know it is not difficult to solder or am I missing something? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyfox Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Yep. It's not so bad. Just the usual lots of focused heat, very clean but roughed (where possible) surfaces and plenty of flux. I use s/steel captive nuts and always seem to get a decent join. Drama for drama's sake sometimes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted July 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 27, 2021 Phosphoric acid flux, as long as it's at least 12%, works on stainless steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
