Laser Welding Sterling Silver 7

This is a continuation of the different choices we have for filler material to laser weld Sterling Silver.

 

30 gauge Palladium Sterling - A Sterling alloy with 5 % Palladium has all the attributes of the Platinum Sterling with out the cost. It’s Approximately $75.00 an Oz. It is my personal favorite for laser welding Sterling Silver. If you get this wire in 26Ga it is also an excellent gap filler on sizing and fabrication with no downside because it is all solid metal. Got to love the laser.

Laser Welding Sterling Silver 6

This is a continuation of the different choices we have for filler material to laser weld Sterling Silver.

30 gauge Plat Sterling - A Sterling alloy with 5% Platinum was the first alloy that welds perfect. It needs high power also but is predictable and can be pushed deep down into a joint. No Argon or pulse shaping is necessary. When Platinum which is somewhere around 48% reflective is added to Silver it lowers the reflective characteristics of Silver from 90% the highest of any metal to something weldable.  Platinum is also a poor conductor of heat and cold.  Some of this characteristic is transferred to the sterling. This seems to help impart the characteristic of not spattering. This means less porosity. The joints are very tarnish resistant and very flexible so they don't crack during sizing. The down side is it is very pricey for Sterling.  I have seen it as high as $229.00 an Oz.

Laser Welding Sterling Silver 5

This is a continuation of the different choices we have for filler material to laser weld Sterling Silver.

30 gauge Hard Solder Wire - It welds at slightly higher settings than the medium solder. It fills sizing joints easily and isn't brittle when used for sizing. It is about 80 % silver and doesn't tarnish as bad as the Medium solder wire. So it is a better choice for sizing.
  ~Steve

Laser Welding Sterling Silver 4

This is a continuation of the different choices we have for filler material to laser weld Sterling Silver.

30 gauge Medium Sterling Solder Wire - It welds nice at lower settings than all the other wires. It fills sizing joints easily and isn't brittle when used for sizing. The down side is its only 60% silver so it tarnishes. When we do a standard V joint it will show a lot after it tarnishes.
