Not Sure If I Can Solder This...?
Would it be possible to solder a flange onto an exhaust pipe? I dont have a welder and I dont wanna have to take it to a shop cuz theyll charge me alot im sure. I was thinkin i could get one of thoese propane torches and solder it on. Is there a certain type of solder I need? WOudl the exhaust pipe get so hot the solder remelts? Its just one simple thing but my exhaust sounds liek shit cuz its hangin off!!! ERRR
No!
The exhaust pipe will get hot enough to weaken or remelt the solder. It would not last 2 minutes. Solder really does not work well with Steel in any event.
You might get away with brazing the flange on, but a Propane or even a MAPP torch is not hot enough to braze an exhaust flange onto a pipe. You'd need an Air-Acetylene or Oxy-Acetylene torch to do it.
Suck it up and pay to get it welded.

The Tools For Soldering
The heat sources normally used for soldering are the electric soldering iron and the gas blowlamp. The once popular traditional flame-heated soldering iron is now rarely used.
When deciding which tool to use you should remember that it is a waste of time trying to solder with a tool that is not powerful enough for the job. Equally well, one which is too powerful may heat up the solder too much and weaken the joint. For very delicate work, you will most likely need to use an electric soldering iron. Some gas blowlamps can do this job well too. For bigger electrical jobs and for solder¬ing jewellery and model-making, you can use a blowlamp which takes a fine or extra fine burner a flame which is quite hot but not too big or diffuse is needed or one of the more powerful soldering irons. For plumbing work soldering capillary joints a gas blowlamp or blowtorch is the most sensible choice. For soldering large lumps of metal (or brazing), you need a powerful blowlamp. You should also think about the following points:
• the temperature the solder and joint have to reach ordinary solder melts at about 250°C, and this temperature must be maintained in the joint all the time it is being made
• the thermal size of the joint and its immediate surround¬ings - a large joint will need a larger source of heat to enable it to reach the required temperature, and when soldering metals, such as copper, which are very good conductors of heat, a steady supply of heat is needed to keep the temper¬ature high
• the position of the joint if the joint is near temperature-sensitive electronic components like transistors, it is wise to insert a heat sink between the joint and the component to mop up the heat used in soldering to prevent it from travel¬ling. A mass of metal is the usual heat sink, and a good heavy pair of pliers will often do the trick On the other hand, if the joint has a large surface area and is exposed to the air, it may radiate the heat away too quickly. This can be over¬come by enclosing the joint in a temporary brick hearth, or by burying part of it in a bed of ashes. Never lay the joint on a good conducting surface.
Brazing
Brazing uses alloys of copper and zinc which melt at much higher temperatures than solder (700 to 800°C) and give stronger joints. A special flux or a borax paste is needed. Braze (or bronze) weld¬ing uses the same sort of alloy, but instead of running it into the joint a fillet is built up on the surface. If the joint is small, it may be possible to reach the temperature required with a gas blowlamp, by playing the flame directly on the joint. If this is not successful, a more powerful heat source is needed.
A brazing attachment is available for use with an arc welder. This usually takes the form of two carbon rods fixed in a hand-held clamp. An arc is created between the tips of the two rods, and the resulting flame is used to heat the joint.
This source is both powerful and fierce, so it is advisable to practise this method before attempting to use it for repair.
Oxy-acetylene welding equipment is frequently used for brazing the heat is easily controlled by using the appropriate size nozzle and the torch is easy to manipulate. Unfortunately, these ad¬vantages tend to be outweighed by the difficulty in getting hold of the gases.

CONNECTING STAINLESS STEEL TUBE (SOLDER?)?
I have a need to connect various stainless steel tubes and fitting together and was wondering how to do it. I know a TIG welder is an option but have heard rumors that there is a way to solder it in much the same way you affix copper pipe. Perhaps with higher heat and different flux. I need step by step and maybe suppliers of the materials. Thanks in advance and please I do not need the "call a plumber" answers as I've gotten in the past
so how do you braze?
Soft Soldering
All grades of stainless steel can be soldered with lead-tin soft solder. Leaded solders should not be used when the product being soldered is used for food processing, serving or transport. Soldered joints are relatively weak compared to the strength of the steel, so this method should not be used where the mechanical strength is dependent upon the soldered joint. Strength can be added if the edges are first lock-seamed, spot welded or riveted. In general, welding is always preferable to soldering.
Recommended procedure for soldering:
· 1. The steel surfaces must be clean and free of oxidation.
· 2. A rough surface improves adherence of the solder, so roughening with grinding wheel, file or coarse abrasive paper is recommended.
· 3. Use a phosphoric acid based flux. Hydrochloric acid based fluxes require neutralising after soldering as any remnant traces will be highly corrosive to the steel. Hydrochloric acid based fluxes are not recommended for soldering of stainless steels.
· 4. Flux should be applied with a brush, to only the area being soldered.
· 5. A large, hot iron is recommended. Use the same temperature as for carbon steel, but a longer time will be required because of stainless steel's low thermal conductivity.
· 6. Any type of solder can be used, but at least 50% tin is recommended. Solder with 60-70% tin and 30-40% lead has a better colour match and greater strength.
