Cadmium silver solder.

What is the best composition for it. Choose from our selection of silver solder including brazing alloys without cadmium solder for stainless steel and more. Silver brazing produces strong sealed leak proof joints on. Acute immediate effects initial symptoms from.

I want prepare a low melting point solder. Health effects of cadmium in silver solders. Zinc cadmium alloys are useful for soldering aluminium whilst cadmium zinc tin alloys are used for soldering magnesium. Serious health effects on the lungs and kidneys are the principal concerns.

In there a real risk using cadmium. At first i didn t realize what was going on. Nimrod77 wrote is it possible to tell which silver solder contains cadmium and which doesn t. Cadmium solder and flouride fluxes cadmium in solder and fluorides in fluxes can kill you.

At a dollar a joint it was an easy way to make a healthy chunk of money in three days at that point in time i had been metalsmithing for over 30.

But cadmium is poisonous. Silver contacts from electrical equipment clean silver contacts on bus bars buss bars busbars etc. I am proof of that. Silver cadmium alloys wire sheet contacts oxide etc.

Ii silver brazing alloys cadmium is an important component in quaternary alloys with silver copper and zinc in the lower temperature range of brazing alloys. However a few hours after soldering with it i ve felt achy and out of sorts. No flux needed when soldering copper the stuff the plumbers use on water or gas. But it finally dawned on me that cadmium was the culprit.

I prefer cadmium bearing silver solder. Kappcad cadmium zinc solders are medium temperature alloys that provide strong corrosion resistant joints on most metals making them an excellent choice for soldering dissimilar metals these solders are often used in applications requiring higher temperatures and superior strength joints especially aluminum to aluminum and aluminum to copper joints in electronics lighting and. Flux is necessary for brazing to remove and prevent reformulation of surface oxides on the base metals. Need to use flux with stainless though.

However it has given me a couple of scares. In stock and ready to ship. I thought i always used good ventilation. Silver brazing uses filler metals and alloys such as silver copper zinc cadmium etc.
