Temperatures are typically below 450 c for soldering stainless steel. You can even use solder to join copper or brass to stainless steel, you just brazing is like soldering but it is done at higher temperatures and is applicable to more metals. Zinc has a relatively low melting point and therefore is not ideal but still can be soldered. The joint strength is generally lower than either brazed or welded joints. Many of these solders are toxic and their compounds provide a weaker solder joint. This makes it resistant to corrosion.
