Can solder be used on copper-aluminum composite sheets?

Welding copper-aluminum composite sheets with ordinary solder really isn't very effective—but don't worry, there's a more reliable solution! Here's the bottom line: I recommend using brazing—it’s the perfect way to overcome the challenges of welding copper and aluminum together.
Why won’t ordinary solder work?
Common solder (tin-based) has a low melting point (about 232℃), making it easy to use when soldering copper and aluminum:
Insufficient strength: The connector is prone to breakage and has poor conductivity.
Not resistant to high temperatures: Radiators and other high-temperature environments will fail.
Process limitation: It can only be used for welding small-specification wires.
Better solution: Brazing process
Brazing achieves metallurgical bonding through an intermediate medium (the braze alloy), offering distinct advantages:
Well-formed: The joint exhibits strong tensile and shear resistance.
Corrosion-resistant: Suitable for long-term use in harsh environments
Excellent conductivity: Meets electrical connection requirements
Product Recommendation
Shanghai Songfeng Mechanical & Electrical Copper-Aluminum Welding Wire: Professional soldering material, ideal for welding copper-aluminum composite sheets.
Welding Wire Weiouding 51 + Flux 51-F: Low-temperature welding solution, ideal for small workpieces.
Precautions
Surface Treatment: Thorough cleaning is required before welding to prevent oxidation from affecting the bond.
Process Control: Brazing requires strict control of temperature and time.
