[OM] OT: need advice on soldering

I know we've got a few electronics experts and camera repair professionals 
and amateurs on the list, so I hope someone can help me out with a problem.

I'm trying to resolder a corroded battery contact on a Konica C35 that was 
given to me, and can't get the solder to stick to the battery contact. It's a 
very bright metal, stainless or chrome or something like that. I've cleaned 
the surface using a wire brush on a Dremel tool, and have tried both 60/40 
tin/lead solder and 96/4 tin/silver solder. I'm using a 30 watt soldering 
iron and I think I'm letting the surfaces get hot enough before trying to 
flow the solder.

Any advice would be appreciated!
Greg
