[QUOTE="2000markpeters, post: 99471, member: 9812"] Gave up soldering 17 years ago and bought a laser welder. Welding with same alloy gives the strongest weld possible and makes sure their are no galvanic or corrosive reactions. I would have to disagree that a soldered joint is as strong as a welded one, as the solder itself is the weakest link (lower melting point). Once you have mastered the laser weld you have mastered physics. [/QUOTE]
