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.

What are the different wire joints?
The electrical splice and joint types are the Western Union splice, tap joint or splice, fixture joint or splice, and the rattail joint. The splices and joints are used to connect two pieces of wires to carry an electrical signal or current.
Are mitre joints strong?
Mitre joints can be strong if properly executed with precise cutting and tight assembly. However, they are considered weaker than other types of joints like dovetail or mortise and tenon joints, especially when used in load-bearing applications. Reinforcing mitre joints with additional methods such as biscuits, dowels, or splines can increase their strength.
What are the weaknesses of a half lap joints wood?
Some weaknesses of half lap joints in wood include reduced strength compared to other types of joints, such as dovetail or mortise and tenon joints. They can also be more difficult to align properly during assembly, leading to potential gaps or misalignment. Additionally, half lap joints may not be as aesthetically pleasing, as the end grain is visible on both pieces of wood.
What type of movement joints are required in concrete masonry walls?
Isolation joints are required in concrete masonry walls to allow for independent movement between sections of the wall. These joints accommodate changes due to temperature, moisture, or structural settlement, preventing cracking and other damage. Properly placed isolation joints help maintain the structural integrity and longevity of the wall.
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.

How can I create a soldered permanent bracelet?
To create a soldered permanent bracelet, you will need to gather the necessary materials such as a metal bracelet blank, soldering iron, solder, flux, and safety equipment. Clean the metal surfaces to be soldered, apply flux, heat the soldering iron, and carefully solder the joints of the bracelet. Allow the solder to cool and solidify to create a strong and permanent bond. Remember to practice proper safety precautions when working with a soldering iron.

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 .
