Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marine Engineer, Vol. 21: A Monthly Journal of Marine Engineering, Shipbuilding, Steam Navigation and Electrical Engineering; From April, 1899, to March, 1900 Brazing solder is composed of copper and zinc, in about equal proportions; occasionally, however, g per cent. Of tin is added to the mixture. The mixed metal is first cast in iron ingot moulds, then it is reheated to a certain temperature, consider ably below red heat, at which it becomes brittle, and is pounded up with an iron pestle and mortar. The addition of the small quantity of tin is said to facilitate the pounding. It thus appears that at a temperature intermediate between that of the steam and a red heat, the solder becomes brittle, and unfit to sustain any stress.
