Soldering Stainless Steel

[mikeymike]

I am wondering what kind of solder should be used for soldering Stainless steel? It will be used to seal the bottom of a pot's seam.

Thank you

Mikey,

Check out the Harris chart for solder and brazing info.

Hello Mikey

Your probably going to need one of the silver solders on that chart Ron posted, to take the heat of the stove for your pot. I have limited experiences with silver solder so I can't make a recommendation.
But for yourself or others who need to solder stainless to stainless for other fabrications (non food or non drinking water applications), I have used LA-CO "M-A" stainless steel soldering flux with good old 50-50 lead-tin solder for years. Her is a site with their flux information: www.laco.com/buster/bv3_1_laco_fluxes.html
There is some silver solder flux on that page also.
