Hi,
many years ago a good friend shared a method that allows you to solder with normal 60/40 solder to any stainless object. I have over the years used this to good effect but have not ever seen it done by others.. my first attempt was to a kitchen sink in a rental house, truly surprised how easy that was to do with the right technique.
here is my latest example of soldering a copper wire to a stainless bolt, yes its a good quality stainless bolt not some cheap impostor.

in case the photo does not show here is a link: solder to stainless
If this interests others I will share the process used.
I should give credit to the person who passed this onto me many years ago, thanks Bob, VK6KRC for many of the work shop hints you have shared with many people over the years.
