Electric soldering iron for electronic work. In 1946, Carl E. Weller applied for a patent for his soldering gun that could heat instantaneously and began production of the "Speedy Iron" in Pennsylvania. [12] It was manufactured through the Weller Manufacturing Company, and this product was the first instantaneous thermal soldering gun.
The split tip of a ColdHeat soldering iron. The first two products were soldering irons powered by alkaline batteries.The manufacturer claims this soldering iron is unique in that its Athalite tip undergoes a temperature change from ambient temperature to approximately 800 °F (427 °C) and back to ambient within three seconds when the tip is removed from the work.
Soldering gun Soldering gun's parts Spool of solder. 1.6mm. A soldering gun is an approximately pistol-shaped, electrically powered tool for soldering metals using tin-based solder to achieve a strong mechanical bond with good electrical contact. The tool has a trigger-style switch so it can be easily operated with one hand.
A soldering gun heats a small cross-section copper tip very quickly by conducting a large AC current through it using a large cross-section one-turn transformer; the copper tip then conducts the heat to the part like other soldering irons. A soldering gun will be larger and heavier than a heating-element soldering iron of the same power rating ...
The "Scope" soldering iron is a tool for soldering with lead-tin alloys, made in Australia since 1950, and intended for occasional or intermittent use.It has the virtue of quickly coming up to soldering temperature (~300C) and delivering considerable heat to a small area, but requires care to avoid overheating.
Soldering performed using alloys with a melting point above 450 °C (840 °F; 720 K) is called "hard soldering", "silver soldering", or brazing. In specific proportions, some alloys are eutectic — that is, the alloy's melting point is the lowest possible for a mixture of those components, and coincides with the freezing point.

Ultrasonic soldering iron tips can heat (up to 450 °C) while mechanically oscillating at 20—60 kHz. This soldering tip can melt solder filler metals as acoustic vibrations are induced in the molten solder pool. The vibration and cavitation in the molten solder then permits solders to wet and adhere to many metal surfaces.
