Overview

Soldering is a process used to join metal components together by melting a filler metal, known as solder, into the joint. Commonly used in electronics, plumbing, and metalwork, soldering provides a strong, conductive bond. Essential tools for soldering include a soldering iron or station, solder wire, flux, and various accessories like soldering tips and stands.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying a soldering iron?

Consider the wattage, temperature control, and the type of projects you'll be working on. Higher wattage irons heat up faster and maintain temperature better.

How do I safely ship soldering equipment?

Ensure the soldering iron is cool and securely packed. Use original packaging if available, or a well-padded box to prevent any damage during transit.

What maintenance does a soldering iron require?

Regularly clean the soldering tip with a damp sponge or brass wool to remove oxidation and residue. Replace the tips when they become worn or damaged.
