I tried fusing 3 differet matals ( copper, gilding metal, and silver) together the other day.
Using 3 different metals is the first try to me so I reckoned that this would be the hardest challenge that I have done so far.
Each metal has individual menlting point like copper- 1083 ℃, gilding metal-1000-1040℃, pure silver-961 ℃. So there was a risk that silver melt down during fusing process…
But I never know the result unless I try!
Set the plates in the clamp and apply flux around it.
Put the clamp in the electric kiln at 770 degree.
Drop the temperature in the kiln –650 degree
25-30 minutes
Return the temperature ————770 degree
5-10 minutes
Set the temperature at 790 degree
12 minutes
The clamp turned to red colour
11 minutes
The clamp is still red colour
2 minutes
Some molten parts could be seen
Take the clamp out from the kiln
It seems that silver is melted ↓
