How is solder produced?
Solder is typically produced by melting together a combination of metals, such as tin and lead, to form a solder alloy. The melted alloy is then solidified into the desired shape, such as wire or bars, for use in joining metallic surfaces together through a process known as soldering.
Why is a low-power soldering iron suitable for electronic work?
When working on PC boards or any electronic equipment, heat is the biggest enemy. A low wattage soldering iron is the best because it will generate only enough heat to melt the solder and not heat up other adjacent components that are near to the point that you are soldering. Also when working on electronic equipment use a solder with a low melting point. There is a special low temperature solder with a rosin core that is made especially for PC boards. Never use acid core solder on any electrical soldering jobs.

What does solder consist of?
Solder has traditionally been a tin lead alloy, but there are many variations depending on the application:jeweler's solder or silver solder, has always contained silver to prevent the solder from dissolving silver and/or gold from the item being solderedother low melting point metals are sometimes added to make low melting point solderpure tin solder is sometimes used to eliminate toxic leadetc.Solder sold in the form of wire is sometimes hollow with a core filled with flux paste to make soldering easier without the need for extensive precleaning of the work so that the solder properly wets. For plumbing purposes (where the work can be rinsed afterwords) the flux paste is acidic and very corrosive, for electronics work the flux paste is a rosin.
Should I use acid or solid or resin core solder for copper pipe?
For copper pipe soldering, solid core solder is typically recommended. Acid core solder is commonly used for electrical work and can cause corrosion in plumbing applications. Resin core solder is best suited for delicate electronic components rather than plumbing projects.
What melts at 400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit?
Tin and Lead-based solder. I have noi further information. there are different alloys with differing melting points. Acid-Core solder is NOT used in electronics work.
What tool do you use to replace a 1.2V batteryA soldering iron doesn't work well?
A soldering iron should work if it is able to get hot enough and you have the right kind of solder. You need a solder that is made for electetonics. If you have an acid core or one used for plumbing they will not work. The iron will need to produce enough heat to get the item soldered hot enough for the solder to flow and bond.
What type of solder would work best to join a piece of brass of a piece of tin?
There is on kind which might work for, it has a special acid as a core and ti works almost for everything. I don't remember the brand, but on the package it was written than the core is made of acid.
How does a picaxe work?
its to do with circuits,and it flows the electricity to the LEDS
How do LEDs in iPads work?
The LEDs are positioned around the edge of the screen and shine behind the LCD layer, providing illumination.
Can solder flux get old?
Rosin flux will probably last hundreds or even thousands of years. I suspect that fossil amber would work as a decent flux. The solvent in liquid organic fluxes may evaporate, leaving a solid. Some paste fluxes are water based and the water will evaporate.
How do you use solder in a sentence?
"Solder" can be a noun or a verb. The following sentences provide examples of both:You should use lead-free solder for work on kitchen plumbing fixtures.I got Ben to show me how to solder the electronic components in the kit.
