How hard is silver solder when it cools? I've got an goofy motorcycle project and I need to "fill" a spot behind a bearing race. It can't welded it but I was thinking brazing or maybe silver solder. Any information would be appreciated.

Any information would be appreciated. ERic It is pretty hard. Is this the side of the race that will be pressed onto a shaft or into a recess or are bearings going to roll over it? If it is in contact with the actual roller bearings I would braze it with bronze. |
| Silver is pretty hard depending on what alloy % you are using. If this is going onto aluminum, you have a problem......the heat for braze and silver is way to high and will corrupt cast alum easily. I'ld tig weld a bit of filler rod in before trying to braze it. |
