2. Solder alloys - Wikipedia

   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. Hence a wide range of solder alloys exist, and only major ...

3. Solderability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solderability

   Solderability when using lead-free alloys can differ significantly from solderability when using lead based alloys. Noble metals may be easy to solder but they have brittle joints. The metals in the good category require a large amount of heat therefore oxidation is an issue. To overcome this a flux is required.

4. Solder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder

   When lead-free solder is used in wave soldering, a slightly modified solder pot may be desirable (e.g. titanium liners or impellers) to reduce maintenance cost due to increased tin-scavenging of high-tin solder. Lead-free solder is prohibited in critical applications, such as aerospace, military and medical projects, because joints are likely ...

5. Soldering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering

   Additionally, tin is a more corrosive metal, and can eventually lead to the failure of solder baths [clarification needed]. [36] Lead-free construction has also extended to components, pins, and connectors. Most of these pins used copper frames, and either lead, tin, gold or other finishes. Tin finishes are the most popular of lead-free finishes.

6. RoHS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-free

   The more common lead-free solder systems have a higher melting point, e.g. a 30 °C typical difference for tin-silver-copper alloys, but wave soldering temperatures are approximately the same at ~255 °C; [47] however at this temperature most typical lead-free solders have longer wetting times than eutectic Pb/Sn 37:63 solder. [49]

7. Solder paste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_paste

   A solder paste is essentially powdered solder suspended in flux paste. The tackiness of the flux holds components in place until the soldering reflow process melts the solder. As a result of environmental legislation, most solders today, including solder pastes, are made of lead-free alloys [citation needed].

8. Wave soldering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_soldering

   The solder is usually a mixture of metals. A typical leaded solder is composed of 50% tin, 49.5% lead, and 0.5% antimony. [1] The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) has led to an ongoing transition away from 'traditional' leaded solder in modern manufacturing in favor of lead-free alternatives. Both tin-silver-copper and tin ...

9. Dip soldering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dip_soldering

   The most common dip soldering operations use zinc-aluminum and tin-lead solders. Solder pot metal: cast iron or steel, electrically heated. Bath temperature: 220 to 260 °C (for binary tin-lead alloys) or 350 to 400 °C (for lead-free alloys) Solder composition: 60% Sn, 40% Pb or eutectic alloy.
