Did you solder silver onto stainless steel? Im trying to find out what i need to complete this task 😅

@PunkerBuilds

Yeah I think I used both medium and hard silver solder. Requires a "type B" flux though. I liked the black flux more.

The ring is beautiful. How do you keep from desoldering the joints as you layer your build? I hope that question makes sense?

Thanks Nick! Solders come in 3 melting points called hard, medium and easy. So the trick is to start with hard, then switch to medium, then easy. Though every time they melt, the alloy degrades and they get a little harder to melt. So new medium solder will melt slightly easier than the solder I just recently melted. Also a weird thing working to my advantage is the poor thermal conductivity of stainless steel where it wont heat evenly. I can concentrate heat on one side and it won't transfer to the other. Thanks for asking!

Amazing video, I'm looking for start in this jewelry world, and looking for technics found your video, and got the doubt, what kind of weld you use close the ring?

Thanks for watching! I used TIG welding with 309L filler metal. My welder is an Everlast 255ext. It's a full size, 220v welder so not really for jewellery but i make it work. There are jewellery specific welding machines though.

Ahh ok, if you're not an experienced jewellery or welder, i wouldn't worry about the welding part just yet. Jewellery is traditionally "soldered" or "brazed" using silver solder or gold solder so that's an excellent place to start. Welding stainless steel is a whole thing with expensive equipment. Best of luck!

Hiya, thats Handy Flux Type B-1, flux for stainless steel.

how many hours did this take?? without the designing part

2:40 never use this jeweler saw, but it looks quite sharp and productive... Can you cut 8...10 mm brass with it or 3 mm steel ?

@PunkerBuilds

Yes those sizes can be cut but it takes practice and can be a bit slow for those thicknesses. The blades come in different sizes / number of teeth. Fewer but bigger teeth works better for thick material. More but finer teeth is for thinner material. The blades are consumable and can break frequently but with practice they break less often. 3 mm mild steel can be done with patience. 2mm stainless steel has been a struggle for me.

I've mostly used swiss and antilope blades. They usually range from size 8/0 (very fine) to size 5 (coarse) and i personally mostly use size 2/0 and 2. You'll want the size 3, 4 or 5 for those thicknesses in your first comment. I also wax the back of my blades with beeswax.

You wrote on a comment about the flux, but what about the solder. Cause siver solder is much lighter and you can see the difference in color. So I need to fix that and also hopefully find some solder that does not tarnish like silver, cause that is the reason that I am working with stainless steel, rather than silver or brass

Hi, thanks for watching! I believe the only option for that color match is to weld the parts.

Ahh sorry, I used both methods. I used hard silver soldered with stainless steel specific fluxes on some joints but welded the band rings to make them look seamless. I am both a jeweler and a certified welder so I used my full sized 220v TIG welder. There are small jewellery welders that could do the job as well (PUK from Lampert makes good machines). I've also used a laser welder on stainless but they're extremely expensive machines.

Oh. Well, yes I believe that is very expensive, so I think, I will need to find another way
