Is there a special flux for the above. If so any suggestions ?
Many thanks?

For soldering what materials?

It's an airflow slide on a bbg. It consists of a very thin steel disc and a steel rod (approx 1/8 in dia) which detached itself from the disc. Originally the rod appears to have been spot welded to the disc (very tiny spot welds).
Re: Silver soldering
I've no idea what a bbg might be, but for silver soldering steel I use Easy-Flo http://www.jm-metaljoining.com/pdfs-pro ... Powder.pdf
Stainless steel requires a different flux.
The reason for asking for more information was because modern lead free solders for use on electronic assemblies contain silver and people sometimes call that silver solder.
If your disc is very thin you might have to be careful of warping if it is essential to keep the disc flat.

I think the OP meant bbq - i.e. barbecue. The airflow disc has a number of cutouts which correspond to the same in the body oc the barbecue. By turning the disc the flow of air can be throttled and thus combustion controlled.

Re: Silver soldering
going by the possible heat from said BBQ undoing said silver solder it might be easier to nut and bolt it.
or even some washers and a split pin.

could it be that the part could be repaired using a nut and bolt, or a self-tapping screw?
BTW I'd probably try with a MIG weld, but then I have a MIG welder to hand, so it is easy for me.
Also I'd note that BBQs tend to suffer with corrosion out of the BBQ season. This is likely to be a bit worse with any repair that uses dissimilar metals.
cheers
