Fumes generated by soldering A woman at a bench working in front of a filtration system. A fume extractor is a device used to filter aerosolized chemical byproducts of the soldering process. [1] These devices take many forms depending on the project size and application, from small ductwork to entire fume hoods. [2]
There are three basic techniques that may be used to attach granules to a metal surface: hard soldering, fusing and colloidal soldering. The metals used in granulation are usually gold and/or silver alloys of high purity – alloys below 18 kt. gold and sterling silver being unsuitable. With each technique, the process begins with the making of ...
Animated sequence of how a bore evacuator works. A bore evacuator. A bore evacuator or fume extractor is a device which removes lingering gases and airborne residues from the barrel of an armored fighting vehicle's gun after firing, particularly in tanks and self-propelled guns.
The component is removed while the solder is molten, most easily by a spring-loaded puller attached to it before heating. Otherwise all joints must be freed from solder before the component can be removed. Each joint must be heated and the solder removed from it while molten using a vacuum pump, manual desoldering pump, or desoldering braid.
A bench jeweler is an artisan who uses a combination of skills to make and repair jewelry. Some of the more common skills that a bench jeweler might employ include antique restoration, silversmithing , goldsmithing , stone setting , engraving , fabrication , wax carving , lost-wax casting , electroplating , forging , & polishing .
Soldering (US: / ˈ s ɒ d ər ɪ ŋ /; UK: / ˈ s oʊ l d ər ɪ ŋ /) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process involves heating the surfaces to be joined and melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong and durable joint.
Forms of LEV include downdraft benches, fume hoods, and fume extraction welding guns. Downdraft benches have exhaust ducts beneath the metal welding table. Fume extraction guns have a vacuum hose that runs down to the welding nozzle. Movable fume hoods can positioned directly over the welding area.
16th century cupellation furnaces (per Agricola). Cupellation is a refining process in metallurgy in which ores or alloyed metals are treated under very high temperatures and subjected to controlled operations to separate noble metals, like gold and silver, from base metals, like lead, copper, zinc, arsenic, antimony, or bismuth, present in the ore.
