Soldering FM Brass

[jtowne]

What happens to the Fe in FM Brass as the result of soldering? It's been too long since Materials Science class. I know that the Fe content is very low but I am wondering if the Fe comes out of solution and migrates to the surface of the part that I am soldering. Just a guess.

What is FM Brass?
Soldering and brazing do not involve melting of the base metals, and in general if they are done efficiently (quickly) there will be no adverse metallurgical effects.

"Excellent" for soldering. "Good" for brazing.

I guess you need to pay a bit of attention to the selection of flux.
