I have a lot of sifbronze, an upcoming project is a minnie engine

my question is this, is sifbronze suitable for the high temp first sections of a boiler?

thanks

Yes and the AMBSC code allows it but it needs to be used with great caution as it is very easy to melt or damage the copper. I have seen boilers ruined because the builder was too cheap to buy silver solder and tried to use bronze on a little boiler. Your experience with bronze brazing is an important factor. I get extremely nervous when I do it on boiler joints, e.g., barrel to throatplate.
