Why solder wire is used for welding electrical wire?

What is the process of joining two metallic surfaces to make an electrical contact by melting solder across them?

soldering


Why does stainless steel pa 304 have a high ppm of Cr and Ni and is it suitable used for lead free soldering process any other grade of stainless steel more suitable for lead free process?

304 is a food grade of stainless. I am also reasearching this subject at present. My research of online sources- see Johnsons solder ac-600- reveals that a specific aggressive soldering flux is req'd. The type of solder is also impotrant in regards to application type. Each type is a different combination designed for different applications. Some have better bridging strength, or higher/lower melting points, better electrical conduction, and some contain cadmium which poisons food in a cooking application. Perhaps search solder manufacturers for more info. Terry in Ladysmith,BC.CA


Is it safe to solder inside?

Yes, usually no problem. If you know how to solder, then solder away.


Is flux in solder?

In some solder it is. But even if it is in the solder you should still use flux.

Special property of solder?

Solder has a relatively low melting point, and it wets many different metals allowing it to be used to join (solder) them together. It is also fairly resistant to corrosion when the correct solder alloy is applied to the work. We see a lot of solder used in electrical and electrical applications, so it's a fairly good electrical conductor.


How do you spell sauter. When welding to pieces of metal together?

You may be refering to the term SOLDER. If so it is used when soldering NOT welding.


What is welders?

Plumbers that solder pipe together, also known as welding of the pipes.

What does sodder mean?

The actual word is solder. It's just pronounced "sodder". One could compare soldering to welding, but on a much, much smaller scale. It is a way to join metal parts, usually for electrical connections.


How do you spell solder. When welding two pieces of metal together?

'Soldering' is the correct spelling for the joining process that uses a solder alloy whose melting temperature is less than 840 degrees Fahrenheit. +++ Soldering (including brazing) and welding are two totally different processes!


What is wrong when Power locks on my 98 ford 150 econoline van work intermittently?

Most likely here is a short (lose wire) somewhere in thecircuit that needs to be restored. If you find it only use solder made for electrical equipment. Regular metal solder is different and not suitable for this repair.


What is a solder reel?

A reel of solder used for joining electrical circuits together on circuit boards. Solder is made of a mixture of tin and lead and sometimes has has flux (a form of acid) in the core of the solder to ensure a clean surface for the solder to flow into.


Tinlead alloy used to fasten electrical components?

solder.


Solder instead of welding to build gun suppresor?

Yeah, so of welding simply build of gun suppresor. It's always been that way and it always likely enough will stay that way, too


Is brazing more like welding or soldering?

It is closer too soldering, just more heat, tin/sliver instead of solder and brazing flux instead solder flux. More like welding as far as strength is concerned. It is very strong and is used on larger diameter pipes. however application is the same as soldering
