In my experience nickel is NOT easy to solder to at all.

Fellow TechNetters:

   Should I be concern with an electroless matted nickel plating over an aluminum sheet metal surface and solder onto a copper heat tube?   I recall something about directly soldering onto a nickel surface.  Beside nickel oxidation.    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Victor,
