Right, get it hot enough, rosin (or any) flux. 60/40
done.
For other metals, getting the right flux seems to be
the important step, IME(xperience). Getting rid of the oxide layer.

its mostly copper, so it should solder just fine...
clean it so it looks brite and use flux..
If this is a large bulk piece a micro gas torch works well.

Are there any guidelines for soldering 18g leads to Phosphor-Bronze?
I assume that I should rough the Phosphor-Bronze up with some fine sand paper before soldering the wires to it, but I'm still concerned about the connection being.
(I'm using Phosphor-Bronze for it's flexibility and electrical conductivity).
