Soft soldering involves preparing the workpiece, selecting the correct soft solder and flux, and heating the soldering iron and workpiece to the correct temperature to join the metals. Soft solders are alloys of tin and lead that melt at low temperatures, with the eutectic alloy of 63% tin and 37% lead melting at 183°C. Fluxes are used to coat the metal surfaces and exclude air during soldering. The process requires cleaning and heating the soldering iron bit, depositing solder on the joint, and manipulating the heated bit to melt the solder and make the connection.

These fluxes coat • state the melting characteristics of the surface of the metals to be joined and exclude the air soft solders from the surface, to avoid further oxidation. They are applied • state the essential features of the only to the metal surfaces which have been previously soldering technique cleaned, by mechanical abrasion. Teaching AIDS Motivation
