Why does the soldering stand have a wet sponge in it?
The soldering stand has a wet sponge on it so you can wipe off and clean the soldering iron!
What safety hazards are involved when working with a soldering iron?
Hazards connected with use of a soldering iron can include:cutsburnsinhalation of toxic fumesfires
Why is it not suitable to use a soldering gun to solder modem electronics component?
Solder guns as a rule have wider tips than soldering irons/soldering pens.You might not be able to reach just the spot that you want to with a solder gun given the size of the components, and how tightly packed they are on a modern circuit board. Many modern components, such as integrated circuits, will be damaged by the high heat levels produced by soldering guns.
What precautions should be observed when soldering printed circuit boards?
Never use a acid core solder only resin core should be used and keep the temperature of the soldering iron as low as possible 250 deg C max soldering should be done in a well ventilated space.
How can a technician prevent burning the surroundings whil soldering in a tight area?
A technician can always prevent burning the surroundings while soldering in a tight area by using a fire resistant spray or a heat shield.
What is iron tin?
Tinning the Soldering iron is when the hot iron is coated with solder to aid in soldering and heat transfer
What is the purpose of soldering?
Soldering is the process of using a bubble of hot metal to bond two electronic components or circuits together.
What has the author C J Thwaites written?
C. J. Thwaites has written: 'Soldering' -- subject(s): Solder and soldering 'Capillary joining -- brazing and soft-soldering' -- subject(s): Brazing, Solder and soldering 'Hot-tinning'
Why wear an apron while soldering?
It's to protect you from splashes of hot metal.
What meridian is west of 75 w?
30 W
Why are soldering irons dangerous?
Because they are hot enough to burn you, and hot enough to start a fire if placed on a heat sensitive surface.
What is the greatest common factor of 30w and 75w?
The GCF of 30w and 75w is 15w.
What kind of oil is used on lawnmowers?
30w, 10-30w or 10-40w
Can you use an electric soldering iron on copper pipe and hobby tubing?
Rigid makes an electric soldering tool for soldering when an open flame is impractical like working in a hospital where there is flammable gases or Oxygen present.A regular type soldering iron may not get the fittings hot enough to allow for capillary attraction to draw the alloy into the fitting
What is the best soldering iron and tip to use on circuit boards?
Soldering irons come in a variety of sizes and shapes. There is a wide selection of soldering irons, soldering pencils, soldering stations and soldering guns available on market in the USA.Which soldering iron is the best soldering iron for you depends on the soldering work you are planning to do and how often you are planning on using your soldering iron. The following four factors should be taken into consideration when picking a soldering iron that will be used for soldering projects on circuit boards:1) ) type of the soldering tools2 wattage of the soldering iron3)temperature control4) tip size and shapeTypes of soldering toolsAll soldering tools can be divided in four different groups-Soldering pencils-Soldering station-Soldering rework /repair stations systems-Soldering gunsSoldering pencilsSoldering pencils are the simplest (and the cheapest) soldering tool. Soldering pencils are good only for simple do-it-yourself projects. The price range of the soldering pencils is $10-$30Soldering stationsSoldering station consists of two parts: soldering pencil and a power station. Soldering pencil is attached to a power station. Power station controls temperature of the iron tip in the wide range. It automatically keeps the iron tip at an appropriate temperature. Desired temperature of soldering iron is set with knob on the face plate of power station. Soldering station can be used for most of soldering projects. It can be used for soldering of through-hole components on circuit board as well as for soldering of very fine surface-mount components as small as 0603 and 0805. The price range of the soldering stations is $40-$150.Soldering rework /repair stations systemsSoldering rework/repair systems are complex soldering tools which are mostly used in industry or in the high-volume manufacturing facilities. This soldering systems are the most expensive soldering tools since they usually consist of power station and 4 or 5 hand pieces including soldering iron, hot-air gun, tweezers , vacuum pump which is used for the de-soldering work. The price range of the soldering systems is $250-$2500.Soldering gunsI do not recommend using soldering guns for fine soldering projects on circuit boards.The most popular brand names for soldering irons in the USA are Weller, Pace and Hakko. Aoyue soldering irons are less popular brand name in the United States then Weller or Pace. However, Aoyue soldering irons are much cheaper and they are good combination of quality and price.There is a wide selection of iron tips. Iron tips come in different shapes and sizes. For most soldering projects you can use screwdriver tip 0.062" or 0.032". For fine soldering projects and for soldering of small surface-mount components you can use conical tip 1/16".ConclusionI recommend a temperature controlled 50W soldering station. This soldering station will be excellent tool for most of soldering projects. My top recommendations are:-Weller WESD51 soldering station (digital)- Weller WES51 soldering station (analog)- Hakko FX-888 soldering station- Aoyue 2702A soldering station- Pace ST-25 soldering station
Why do you think it best for soldering iron to have its soldering stand?

What is an example of matter at a higher temperature touching matter at a lower temperature?
Just one exmple of matter at a higher temperature touching matter at a lower temperature is soldering. If we apply a hot soldering iron to solder and copper when making something out of stained glass, the hot soldering iron transfers heat (thermal energy) to the solder and copper (thus melting the solder and causing allowing it to flow).
