Purpose
We hope this short manual will help explain the basics of Soldering. The emphasis will be on the care and use of equipment.

Overview
Soldering is accomplished by quickly heating the metal parts to be joined, and then applying a flux and a solder to the mating surfaces. The finished solder joint metallurgically bonds the parts - forming an excellent electrical connection between wires and
a strong mechanical joint between the metal parts.

Heat is supplied with a soldering iron or other means. The flux is a chemical cleaner which prepares the hot surfaces for the molten solder. The solder is a low melting point alloy of non ferrous metals.
