Correct answer: D. Silver solder and fluoride flux

  • A. Gold solder and borax flux
  • B. Gold solder and fluoride flux
  • C. Silver Solder and borax flux
  • D. Silver solder and fluoride flux

Elgiloy is a cobalt-chromium alloy with a tenacious oxide layer, so silver solder is used with a fluoride flux to dissolve or disrupt those oxides. Borax flux is mainly suitable for noble-metal soldering and is ineffective for base-metal oxides.
