Dry soldering refers to a poor soldering technique where insufficient heat is applied to the joint, leading to inadequate melting of the solder. This results in a weak connection that may not conduct electricity properly and can lead to intermittent failures. It often occurs when the soldering iron is not hot enough or when the surfaces being joined are not properly cleaned. Proper soldering requires adequate heat and clean surfaces to ensure a strong, reliable joint.
The main tools for soldering include a soldering iron, a stand for the soldering iron, and solder. You'd likely use other tools such as brushes, picks, heat sinks, solder wick, desoldering irons, etc.
cold soldering is when the soldring part is not well soldard or the soldring has being disjoint.
Soldering is more or less permanent unless you break it with a hammer or melt it with a torch.
it is not awesome.
i like to touch myself
Borax is used as a flux in soldering to clean the metal surfaces being joined and to prevent oxidation during the soldering process. It helps the solder flow more easily and create a strong bond between the metals.
A soldering iron is a tool used to melt solder in order to join metal components together. It typically has a heated metal tip that transfers heat to the solder to create a strong bond. Soldering irons come in different wattages, tip sizes, and types for various soldering applications.

why do you think its best for soldering iron to have soldering stand
Borax is added to soldering flux to help clean the metal surface by removing oxidation and impurities. It promotes good wetting of the metal by the solder, helping it flow smoothly and create a strong bond. Borax also helps to prevent further oxidation during the soldering process.
Silver soldering typically requires a torch with a temperature range of 1300-1600°F (704-871°C) to melt the solder and create a strong bond between the metals.
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
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
Flux is used in soldering to clean metal surfaces, prevent oxidation, and facilitate the flow of solder. Cleanliness of metals is important in soldering because any contaminants on the metal surfaces can prevent the solder from properly adhering, resulting in weak or unreliable connections. Ensuring the metals are clean before soldering helps to achieve strong and reliable joints.
Yes, you can solder brass. The necessary steps for soldering brass include cleaning the surfaces to be joined, applying flux to the area, heating the brass with a soldering iron or torch, and then applying the solder to create a strong bond. The tools required for soldering brass include a soldering iron or torch, solder, flux, and safety equipment such as goggles and gloves.
When you use a soldering iron you would be soldering some kind of metal frame or something because soldering irons are irrelevant to soldering iron. Sorry, not applicable.
