Need brazing material /filler that can be electroplated
I have a problem to find a filler or brazing material to be added on aluminum casting; this material must be a metallic material since end product of this aluminum casting is nickel-plated. I've tried using such pastes but I guess it's non-metallic since while electroplating it creates a white spot on that filler area (which it means that the filler is not working with the nickel plating). Could somebody give me advice?

Hi, Danny.
Lab-metal
⇦ on
eBay
or
Amazon [affil link]
is recommended in thread 1605;
All-Metal
⇦ on

or
Amazon [affil link]
is recommended in the same thread. Both probably require additional treatment like zincating before nickel plating. Good luck.
