Jordan..
In the refrigeration trade we use a low melting point silver solder,Stay Brite.....You can solder steel to copper..copper to stainless..stainless to stainless..brass to brass to copper ..galvanized to any or all of the above..It takes a special acid flux and has low melting point but is strong like armpit!!
Can be soldered with an iron or Bernzamatic low temp torch..Great around the shop..It has a tensile shear strength of 17,000 pounds so is strong enough for 1000PSI pressure test..as a mater of fact I ran my nitrogen tank up on some joints i did for the hell of it to 1400PSI and they held so If you want I;ll give you a bit to do your own gas tanks..
See you at Bobs BBQ if you can wait..
Or here it is ..The Stay Brite solder kit..
