This work represents a triumph for me. It was the first attempt at brazing stainless steel. I was successfull and I did not use silver bearing alloys either! The real secret is you need a flux with fluoride and you need to stick to stainless alloys 304 and 316. These are the easiest to find anyway so its a win/win. The rods here are made of 304 stainless steel and this alloy is well known for its weldability due to the fact it is less likely to form brittle chromium carbides and the braze joint than other stainless alloys.
