Hydroflux welder question

Jewelry/Small Metals
#1

On what metals may the Hydroflux be used? I read the manual and it doesn’t give any hints. Thanks.

#2

You can use it on anything if you want to get technical

Edit…any jewelry metals.

#3

Bronze? Brass? Copper?

#4

I’ve done brass copper and silver. Cannot afford gold but I know its eligible. Only have casted with bronze. Never tried soldering it

#5

Thanks. I’m trying to figure out if I can solder my bronze after I cast it.

#6

It is my understanding that brass is the “workable” copper alloy, and bronze works better in casting. I.e., bronze is more brittle and doesn’t take kindly to being worked.

General impression – no specific data…

#7

I guess the key factor is knowing the specific bronze alloy …
