  Soldering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soldering can be done in a number of ways, including passing parts over a bulk container of melted solder, using an infrared lamp, or by using a point source such as an electric soldering iron or brazing torch.
Soldering is distinct from welding in that the base materials to be joined are not melted.
Since lead used in traditional solder alloys is toxic, much effort in industry has been directed to adapting soldering techniques to use lead-free alloys for assembly of electronic devices and for potable water supply piping.

 Solder
Throughout the years solder has been used in various applications, however it was the invention of electronic devices in the latter part of this century that led to rapid advances in soldering technologies.
Solder paste is a substance with a cream-like consistency made up of solder, flux, and some carrying medium.
Another technique used is to dip dull pins into the solder paste, and then dab the end of the pin onto the board.

 Electronics Tips: Soldering Techniques
Soldering is accomplished by quickly heating the metal parts to be joined, and then applying a flux and a solder to the mating surfaces.
When soldering with temperatures over 665 degrees F (350 degrees C) and after long work pauses (more than 1 hour) the tip should be cleaned and tinned often, otherwise the solder on the tip could oxidize causing Unwettability of the tip.
The ability of the soldering iron to maintain a consistent soldering temperature from connection to connection depends on the iron's overall ability to transfer heat as well as the operator's ability to repeat proper technique.

 EPE "Basic Soldering Guide"
Soldering stations already have this feature, otherwise a separate soldering iron stand is essential, preferably one with a holder for tip-cleaning sponges.
Solder joints may need to possess some degree of mechanical strength in some cases, especially with wires soldered to, say, potentiometer or switch tags, and this means that the wire should be looped through the tag and secured before solder is applied.
Usually it results from dirt or grease preventing the solder from melting onto the parts properly, and is often noticeable because of the tendency of the solder not to "spread" but to form beads or globules instead, perhaps partially.

 Electronic Construction Tutorial Part 1 - Tools & Soldering
Solder-- it's traditional to start out with a caution that you must use rosin core solder and never acid core solder, but in practice acid core solder is so hard to find that the warning is almost superfluous.
Soldering is not difficult, and the basics are easily within your grasp if you have the right soldering iron, the right solder, and a little bit of practice.
To repair (remove) a solder bridge, apply the wick to the bridge and the solder should be removed from the board between the two pads-- you may need to resolder the connections, though.

 Soldering - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Soldering is a method of applying a lower-melting-point metal to join other metal parts using solder.
Soldering can be performed in a number of ways, including bulk liquification, or by using a point source such as an electric soldering iron or brazing torch.
One application of soldering is making connections between electronic parts and printed circuit boards, another is in plumbing.

Solder is a combination of metals, which are solid at normal room temperatures and become liquid at between 180 and 200 degrees celsius.
When soldering with temperatures over 665 F (350 C) and after long work pauses (more than 1 hour) the tip should be cleaned and tinned often, otherwise the solder on the tip could oxidize causing unwettability of the tip.
In traditional soldering the solder tip is heated to somewhat higher temperature than the soldering melting point, so the tip has enough energy to melt the solder in use quicly and still not overheat the component.

 EPE Online Soldering FAQ Page
Soldering stations consist of a complete bench-top control unit into which a special low-voltage soldering iron is plugged.
The melting point of most solder is in the region of 188°C (370°F) and the iron tip temperature is typically 330°C to 350°C (626°F to 662°F).
A joint which is poorly formed is often called a "dry joint." Such a joint usually results from dirt or grease preventing the solder from melting onto the parts properly, and is often noticeable because of the tendency of the solder not to "spread," but to form beads or globules instead, perhaps partially.

Normal electronics grade solder is usually 60% lead - 40% tin or 40/60, and it already contains cores of "flux" which helps the molten solder to flow more easily over the joint.
Take extreme care to ensure that you don't allow the solder to cool with the braid adhering to the work, or you run the risk of damaging p.c.b.
Or, material may not be suitable for soldering with lead/tin solder (eg aluminium).
