    They may not solder well, but they fuse nicely! 

    I gave up on working on silicon based alloys years ago. I really
    don't enjoy working with them! I remember that at one time someone
    was working on an alloy that included grain refiners along with the
    silicon. This was a definite help, but it was only experimental and
    was unfortunately discontinued. Have you tried using silver paste
    flux instead of the cleaning flux? It's messy but seems to help.
