Simply put, soldering is the melding of two metals together utilizing an alloy, (solder) that has a lower melting point than the two metals that are to be joined together. This involves heating the solder to fill the joints between the item to be attached and the base such as the circuit board component pad.
There are many different ways to solder. However, we will only cover the basics in this first article.
Some people are mislead in thinking how soldering actually works. Soldering differs from welding in that when you weld metals together the two metals are actually melted together at a higher temperature than soldering. Brazing is similar in that the metals are not melted, only the brazing filler is melted to fill the joints.

There are many applications for soldering such as plumbing pipes, making jewelry, stained glass window production. However, we will only be talking about applications for the electronics and electrical industries.
It has been thought that soldering dates back several millennia. Sumerian swords were found to have been made utilizing hard soldering methods. Of course, this is all fascinating from a historical perspective. But, we are not going to be looking into that. The goal here is to take you on a ride into the world of electronics and electrical soldering methods.
The applications for this industry are endless. From soldering circuit boards to making coffee pots. Soldering has become a staple in our modern world. Without soldering we would be unable to build technology. Your flat screen televisions and smart phones would have never been made.
Everything from toys to jumbo jets require something to be soldered. The applications are endless. I will attempt over time to present you with methods, applications, tools, and accessories used in the soldering industry.
Stay tuned....
