Hi Jesse
Very interesting! When you say it "broke in the joint" do you mean that it=
=20
was the silver solder itself that suffered the tensile failure? i.e. was=20
there silver solder visible on both halves of the fractured joint?

Ron, indeed there is a coating/plating of silversolder on the faces of each=
broken piece. If I think of it, later today I will photograph the broken/=
bent test pieces and stick them on "Photobucket" where they can be accessed=
. Right now my email "Outlook Express" is having problems so I am having t=
o use "Web Mail" to send and receive.
I had the pieces "choked up" pretty close to the vise jaws when I started w=
hacking on them so the stress was quite high. I really thought the ends I =
had scarfed to 45=B0 would hold, but they did not.
