There are several ways of soldering electrical joints. Automated methods use wave soldering in which a circuit board is passed over a bath of solder. Re-flow soldering uses solder paste that is applied to the circuit board and then heated in an oven until it melts and flows across the joint.
Manual soldering is largely still carried out with hand held soldering irons. The standard technique is to apply the tip of the iron to the joint and then feed solder onto the joint as the iron heats it. This method allows the solder flux to flow around the joint before it is affected by the heat. Applying the solder to the iron before touching the joint will often result in a dry joint because the flux will burn away and evaporate before it reaches the joint.
Most electronic components have limits for the amount of time the soldering iron can be in contact with each pin. Generally it is in the order of 5 or 6 seconds. With the introduction of lead free solder, temperatures need to be higher to get a good joint and therefore the contact time with each component is reduced. With a shorter contact time, it is even more important to heat the joint and apply solder in an efficient manner.
Production and commercial soldering skills take years to develop with apprenticeships lasting up to three years. To describe soldering techniques in just two or three paragraphs is to merely scratch the surface. Although there are many written instructions for soldering joints, there is no substitute for practice and learning from skilled wiremen.

Name 4 types of copper tube joints?
Soldered, compression, Filmac, ProBite
Why do natural body joints last longer than artificial joints?
Because the material is better when working properly they repair themselves up to a point.
What does fresn and so clean clean mean?
It means the lady uses Feminine cleaners properly fro that FRESH all over feeling
What are the Types of wiring joints?
If you are referring to wire ropes then there are quite a few types of splice and joint that can be used. However, if you meant wire as in conductor used for electrics then there are other choices. The common ones are swaging or crimping using ferrules (sleeves) either in-line or as end fittings, cable clamps or clips, spelter sockets, soldered joints (electrics only), screwed clamps, wedge sockets, flemish eye splice, hand splice.
Which has greater mobility hip joints shoulder joints elbow joints knee joints or wrist joints?
knee joints because they help you walk
Do soldered joints have too high a resistance?
Soldered joints will have a higher resistance if the joint is not a clean solder joint. Badly soldered joints are classed as a cold solder joint. <<>> ...for what? Application matters here.
Can you use soldered copper joints under ground?
No.
A properly soldered connection will appear?
smooth shiny and a positive meniscus where it flows properly
Name 4 types of copper tube joints?

What are the different types of fiber connector cite their advantages and disadvantages?
Screw terminals, braided eyelets, plugs and sockets, insulated screw connectors, wire clip connectors (wire push-ins), twists inside wire nuts, plain wire soldered joints, soldered wire joints to posts and soldered legs for integrated circuits on printed circuit boards.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
What are the dangers of still making?
(1) Uisng lead-soldered joints in the pipes or cooling coils (2) getting caught. ;-)
What is the effect of water pressure at the pipe joints?
Water constantly exerts pressure on pipe joints. I have seen old soldered joints flying apart when subjected to extreme pressure or trains passing nearby. This sometimes happens with plastic pipe also if joints are not thoroughly set .
What are the names of the different kinds of splices and joints used for electrical cables?
Some common types of electrical splice:Rat-tail, Western Union, fixture, knotted tap, staggered splice.Some common types of electrical joint:Screw terminals, braided eyelets, crimps, sty-cons, plugs and sockets, insulated screw connectors, wire clip connectors (wire push-ins), twists inside wire nuts, plain wire soldered joints, soldered wire joints to posts and soldered legs for integrated circuits on printed circuit boards.
Should you use flex copper to run new hot and cold water line?
Nope Id use type L straight tubing with soldered joints
How much pressure can copper take?
Are the joints brazed or soldered? What diameter is the tubing? When you say copper are you asking type K, L ,M , DWV , M or TP
What should be prevented prior to the solder cooling in order to to get a good shiny solder joint?
Movement. The components being soldered need to be fixed, stable, and clean to allow the solder joint to solidify and adhere properly. Movement of components will cause a 'dry' joint which will be electrically unreliable and have a dull appearance.
What is the purpose of a flux?
The purpose of flux is to clean oxides from metal surfaces to ensure a clean bond in soldering or brassing them together. without a proper flux soldered and brazed joint integrity is unreliable.
