Solder (UK: /ˈsɒldə, ˈsəʊldə/; NA: /ˈsɒdər/) is a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between metal workpieces. Solder is melted in order...

Soldering (US: /ˈsɒdərɪŋ/; UK: /ˈsoʊldərɪŋ/) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process...

Reflow soldering is a process in which a solder paste (a sticky mixture of powdered solder and flux) is used to temporarily attach anywhere from one to...

The solderability of a substrate is a measure of the ease with which a soldered joint can be made to that material. Good solderability requires wetting...

A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces. A soldering...

Solder is a metallic material that is used to connect metal workpieces. The choice of specific solder alloys depends on their melting point, chemical...

Solder paste is used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards to connect surface mount components to pads on the board. It is also possible to solder...

Body solder is a type of solder used to smooth the surface of automobile bodies before painting. It has been largely supplanted by polyester body fillers...

soldering is a bulk soldering process used for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards. The circuit board is passed over a pan of molten solder in...

Solder fatigue is the mechanical degradation of solder due to deformation under cyclic loading. This can often occur at stress levels below the yield stress...

Organic solderability preservative or OSP is a method for coating of printed circuit boards. It uses a water-based organic compound that selectively bonds...

to cover only the solder pads. ENIG and ENEPIG are meant to replace the more conventional coatings of solder, such as hot air solder leveling (HASL/HAL)...

A soldering gun is an approximately pistol-shaped, electrically powered tool for soldering metals using tin-based solder to achieve a strong mechanical...

Selective soldering is the process of selectively soldering components to printed circuit boards and molded modules that could be damaged by the heat...

Contact soldering stations A soldering station is a multipurpose power soldering device designed for electronic components soldering. This type of equipment...

In mathematics, more precisely in differential geometry, a soldering (or sometimes solder form) of a fiber bundle to a smooth manifold is a manner of attaching...

Ultrasonic soldering (U/S soldering) is a flux-less soldering process that uses ultrasonic energy, without the need for chemicals to solder materials,...

hot air (solder) leveling) is a type of finish used on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The PCB is typically dipped into a bath of molten solder so that...

without holes, called solder pads. Solder paste, a sticky mixture of flux and tiny solder particles, is first applied to all the solder pads with a stainless...

A solder ring fitting, also known by the trademarked name Yorkshire fitting, is a pre-soldered capillary connector for joining copper pipes used in plumbing...
