Argentum silver and the water torch
Hey,
I wanted to get a water torch such as the HydroFlux but was put off by reports that it doesn't work so well with sterling silver. Apparently, sterling has great "heat sinking" abilities and the small pin point flame produced by the HydroFlux won't heat the metal enough for a good soldering experience. But...I read at the Hauser and Miller website http://www.hauserandmiller.com/fab/argentium.html about Argentum where it says that it has (I quote): "Lower heat and electrical conductivity, enabling the alloy to be resistance, plasma and laser welded." SO, I wonder if the HydroFlux will work with Argentum where it fails with regular sterling. Anyone have any idea? Thanks, PW |
