Interesting thread ----Ive got quite a pile of cracked bell metal plates and bowls if been meaning 2 try and weld/braze 4 years.The pile keeps getting bigger as every once and a while I drop a bowl or plate and it cracks .In India they just melt them down and recast them .

Does anyone have any experience [or educated guesses] on fusion welding or silversoldering or brassing bell metal.

Thanks all.
