Soldering
Soldering is one of the methods of permanent joining of metal elements. It uses a metal binder, which we call soldering. Its melting point is lower than the melting point of the elements that we join together. Soldering is a commonly used method in electronics, thanks to the skills of the soldering iron you can significantly expand your possibilities of creation. It is used during prototyping, but also during assembly, service and repair works. Special tools are used for soldering, these are soldering machines and soldering stations. In order to make the work even more effective and to make the connection more precise and durable, we use various types of interchangeable soldering tips, fluxes and soldering crucibles. You will find all this in our offer, as well as other additional accessories that make soldering more efficient for amateurs and professionals. Check out our offer of soldering tools. Take advantage of the possibilities of permanent joining of metal elements in more and more advanced projects.

Soldering - FAQ
You can solder a variety of metal components, including wires, electronic components, structural parts, housings, pipes, tools, and many other items.
When soldering with tin, remember to properly degrease the surface, use a special flux and maintain the appropriate temperature during the entire process. Detailed instructions can be found on our blog in the article " How to solder - guide ".
For basic surface degreasing, you can use high-proof spirit or extraction naphtha. Additionally, solder adhesion can be improved by using special soldering acids to etch the surface and an appropriate flux .
The correct soldering temperature depends on the parameters of the binder used and the soldered elements - it must be sufficient to dissolve the binder, but lower than the melting point of the soldered objects. During classic electronics soldering, the tip temperature is usually 320-350°C.
When performed correctly and with safety precautions, soldering is not harmful to health.
Brazing is a soldering technique at temperatures exceeding 450°C. Solders are made of aluminum, silver, copper, phosphorus, nickel, cobalt, palladium or even gold.
Soft soldering is a soldering technique at temperatures below 450°C. Mainly alloys of tin , bismuth, cadmium and antimony are used as soldering binders.
Hot air soldering is usually performed at temperatures from 320°C to 380°C. The blowing regulation in hot air soldering irons is usually gradual, and a graph of the temperature dependence on the set blowing level can be found in the instructions for use.
