SOLDERING CABLE ENDS (BARREL) ON STAINLESS STEEL CABLE
Hello!
I believe this question has been asked a lot previously, but I've found that all topics are quite old (dating 2005). I haven't done it yet, but I'm prepared to go an extra mile if it is required and purchase all necessary tools and materials. youtube is full of videos, but all of them feature various different techniques to decide on the right solution. 1. I would like to find out which technique is the most correct (soldering or heating with torch) when it comes to attaching a barrel end to the stainless steel cable? The main aim is to make brake cable being fit for its purpose implying that it WOULDN'T fail! It should not affect significantly stainless steel cable properties at the end and wouldn't start rusting. In other words, it would be best if it had failed somewhere in the middle from wearing out rather than at the soldered end (or close to the end). 2.What material are nipples made of (brass, stainless steel) for stainless cables to prevent rust? Is it usually a solid blob of tin/lead or silver/tin solder which is shaped afterwards with an angle grinder? 3. I understand that gluing has certain advantages over soldering/using torch, but then it would have been used by all manufacturers if it was that effective and robust. 4. Maybe someone knows how the ends are attached to stainless steel cables when manufactured? Are they pressed on the cable end as a solid blob (or soldered or heated)? Personally I would like to know it simply to understand the background of the subject. 5. Cleaning: 2% phosphoric acid? 6. Which acid flux to use (if any)? 7. Which solder to use for stainless steel cable? 8. If heating with the torch, what solder to use? I'm appealing to members with extensive background in this field who use datasheets occasionally. I know that there are many ways to do the job, but only few are technically clean and correct. ------------------------- Many thanks Boris |

Since a brake wire probably involves at some point a human life, you should set up some sort of tensile test and break a few samples. See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7ifgUuOukQ scaled to your application of course. The 1812 was a good choice of accompaniment, I thought. -- JS. |
