After haven spoken with N-Gauger, I am going to start a thread called "The Solder Shop". I am D.O.D. certified in what is called HI-REL Soldering which consists of all types of soldering, such as soldering on every thing from componets to wires and printed circuet boards. I am going to TRY to make new additions at least once a week and more if I can. I ask that you do NOT respond to the solder shop. I will start a second thread which we call "The Solder Shop-Q/A". Under this thread I will answer all your questions, (the best I can) about soldering and will also try to give you all the help that I can. I will also include photos of soldering tips and tricks that I feel everyone will benefit from.
Some of the things that I'll cover will be:
Purpose of soldering
Forms of solder
Physical states of solder
Eutectic solder
Metals and Alloys
Working temperatures of solder
Flux- Purpose, Classes, Types, Forms and properties
Flux action theory
Abietic Acids
I would like to thank N-Gauger for his time and concern in this matter.
I did give a little info in "All model Railroads" forum the other day under the post of "What size soldering iron" that someone had asked about.
I would also like to thank Iron Goat for his fine question that he brought up right off the get-go.
