Silver ?

[chipperpottery]

Can I mix and solder sterling silver with Argentium silver. e.g sterling silver base with Argentium silver bezel please ?

As I think it will be George who answers this, I am starting the dinner service this afternoon......promise

Yes you can, but in general a fine silver bezel will always be easier to work with.

You need to be very careful heating (either for annealing or soldering) Argentium as it's not as stable as sterling at high temperatures. It needs more support as any formed shapes are at risk of collapsing, and never quench when still glowing as it is brittle and can crack or split.

Now get painting.....
