the attaching of bases, handles, fittings, bowl bodies, etc by fusing the metallic surfaces together with a soldering iron
Joining two or more pieces of metal with an alloy (solder) that has a lower melting point
process of joining metallic surfaces with solder without melting the base material
Attaching electronic components to metal traces on substrates using any of various fusible alloys by applying heat
- The method by which separately-made silver parts are joined together, using an alloy that will melt at a lower temperature than silver, thereby melting when applied to hot silver during soldering A hard alloy of silver and zinc is now generally used
attaching bases, handles, fittings, or bowl bodies by fusing the metallic surfaces together with a soldering iron
Process that uses metal alloys with low melting points to join metallic surfaces without melting them. Tin-lead solders, once widely used in the electrical and plumbing industries, are now replaced by lead-free alloys. Such alloys are also used to solder brass and copper automobile radiators. Solders are supplied in wire, bar, or premixed-paste form, depending on the application. Soldering can be carried out using a torch, a soldering iron, a flame heater, or an induction heater.
