Platinum Solders: Proper Use and Application in Jewelry Making – There are two basic types of platinum solders in use today: Traditional solders and the “Plumb Solders”. The traditional solders contain very little or no platinum.
These platinum solders, mainly used in the United States, come in a variety of flow temperatures. Platinum extra easy 1000, platinum easy 1100, platinum medium 1200, platinum hard 1300, platinum extra hard 1400, platinum welding 1500, platinum special welding 1600, platinum seamless 1700, and platinum weld 1773. (The number behind each solder corresponds with the approximate Celsius flow point.)
