Silver solder comes in 4 grades... the grades are the relative temperature flow points between one & the other. The extra softer the solder the less content of silver with a lower melting temperature. Silver Solder comes in 4 different Grades of Hardness. - Extra Soft Content of Silver 56% - Easy Soft Content of Silver 65% - Medium Content of Silver 70% - Hard Content of Silver 75% This Extra Soft Silver Solder Sheet Strip measures 1"x 5", weight is 1/4TOz / 5 Dwt, with a melting point of 1145o F - 618oC. with a Silver Content of 56% NOTE: Cadmium FREE Solder Technical Information: Repairs: Lower-temperature solders are recommended for repair work, especially on pieces that may have been reworked & a high-temperature solder may cause a problem. Assembly Work: in multiple component soldering, use the Higher Temperature Solder first, then a medium grade, & finally to a lower melting point extra soft. Production: High-temperature solder, the Hard grade should be used, with the higher silver content, better match of color, & a stronger bond.
