Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it?


Why would we not weld all joints. Welded silver or copper wire would not have the loss of conductivity of going through solder.

Al,

I understand that ARC uses "silver solder" in its products. That said, I am dubious the solder is 100% silver or any silver alloy even close to pure silver. Not even sure what the melt point of pure silver is ... but I surmise it's a lot hotter than the typical lead/tin alloy used in regular solder.

Is the notion of so called "silver solder" real or hype??

Cheers,

BIF
