between 400 and 800
the effective range in which it can be used; ie the temperature ranges of operation
Woods Metal. It melts in boiling water or at 158 degrees. It will quickly harden at room temperature.
It will be at least 117,000 psi and as high as 290,000 psi - the range depends on the tempering temperature and heat treat
A weld is the fusing of materials by melting. Metals, glass, and some plastics can be welded. Not to be confused with brazing, soldering, or glueing.
from the soft tress in america
The maxinum temperature in which soft soldering is done is 800 F
When solder is neither solid or liquid, mushy state.
Soft soldering is using a heat to fuse metals together. In home improvements this is a useful skill to have when dealing with pipes and wiring.
Brazing is also known as soldering or soft soldering in the layman vernacular.
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
They range enormously; from around £6 up to hundreds of pounds for a top of the range soldering station.

No, lighter can produce 120 degree Celsius temperature where as soldering iron can produce 420 degree Celsius temperature. the soldering iron is used to join two metal wires.
Soldering irons and soldering stations range in price from around $10 upwards. The best soldering irons are usually industrial ones, however these may not be required for home use.

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).
