2. Soldering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering

   The impurities can be removed by mechanical cleaning or by chemical means, but the elevated temperatures required to melt the filler metal (the solder) encourages the work piece (and the solder) to re-oxidize. This effect is accelerated as the soldering temperatures increase and can completely prevent the solder from joining to the workpiece.

3. Copper tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_tubing

   Solder fittings are smooth and easily slip onto the end of a tubing section. The joint is then heated using a torch, and the solder is melted into the connection. When the solder cools, it forms a very strong bond that can last for decades. Solder-connected rigid copper is the most popular choice for water supply lines in modern buildings.

4. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

   The conduit methods were known to be of better quality, but cost significantly more than K&T. [2] In 1909, flexible armored cable cost about twice as much as K&T, and conduit cost about three times the price of K&T. [6] Knob and tube wiring persisted since it allowed owners to wire a building for electricity at lower cost.

5. Copper-clad aluminium wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_aluminium_wire

   A copper strip is formed into the shape of a cylinder, while it is being wrapped around an aluminum core and the edges of the copper strip are welded together. The assembly is then pulled through a die, where the cladded wire is squeezed and stretched while also improving the bonding between the copper and the aluminum core. [1]

6. Twist-on wire connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-on_wire_connector

   Twist-on wire connectors are not generally recommended for use with aluminum wire in the United States. [1] The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission disapproves wire nuts for aluminum wire; instead, special crimp connectors are called for, and as of 2011 the CPSC asserted qualified, second-preference approval of a certain kind of screw ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_alloys

   Soldering copper pipes using a propane torch and a lead-free solder. Solder is a metallic material that is used to connect metal workpieces. The choice of specific solder alloys depends on their melting point, chemical reactivity, mechanical properties, toxicity, and other properties.
