Soldering irons are one of the simplest and cheapest soldering tools. This is the type of soldering iron that is most often chosen by electronic beginners and students of technical universities. The device is very well suited for precise work on electronic systems (SMD or THT assembly). Thanks to the possibility of mounting various tips, depending on the needs, soldering irons can be adapted to different conditions. Nowadays, soldering irons are used almost exclusively to work with electronic circuits of small dimensions. The heating power of soldering irons varies, but the most popular models are low-power soldering irons, usually not exceeding several dozen watts (electric soldering irons).
Brazing is used for a variety of work where the goal is to connect two metal elements. It becomes possible due to the high temperature of the device and the solder. The melting point must be lower than that of the metals to be joined. The most common filler metal used during soldering is tin. It is in fact an alloy of tin (60%) with other fluxes such as silver or copper.
