The industry, not so concerned with debating niceties of definition, simply takes the obvious and simple route. Well, definitions can be prescriptive or descriptive. How a term is actually used is very important. I quite agree. For your edification then, I include the following. This: - ^ - is a caret. This: - 1/24 - is a Karat. This; - 200milligrams - is a Carat. Whoops. |

Sterling is only a bit higher in melting point, and still way below the high caret gold used here. The operation and resulting joint are very close to a hard soldered piece. When "soldering" Gold, even when "Brazing" Gold, one does not ordinarily use "Silver Solder". One uses Gold Solder in the appropriate formulation for the Karat Gold one is "Soldering". I agree. But *if* you connect two pieces of high *Karet* gold by flowing silver between them, that is still silver brazing or hard soldering. What else would you call it? |
