Hello all,
A friend of mine asked me to make him some workpieces out of copper for his home brewery. Ultimately I want to TIG braze the copper together with Silicon Bronze.
1) Is silicon bronze safe for this application? If not, what would you use?
2) When I've tried to braze with the sil bro, the filler rod just balls up as soon as I touch it to the workpiece.

A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

You can braze copper with silicon bronze, get it really clean. I don't know what you are working with , but thin stuff is a real challenge.

I've made lots of beer. Weldin? Not so much, but you can weld copper with copper rod. Why not go there?

Stone knives and bearskins.....and a NEW EVERLAST 164SI !!!
That's my newly shared work welder.
At home I got a Power Tig 185 DV. Nice, but no plasma cutting... Nice tight arc after a second.
