[Ted Yapo] shared a method of easily and conveniently soldering to aluminum, which depends on a little prep work to end up only slightly more complex than soldering to copper. A typical way to make a ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

Improves wetting: Flux helps molten solder flow smoothly (or “wet”) across the surfaces, promoting even coverage and a strong ...

WHAT is claimed to be the only genuine aluminium and universal solder has recently been demonstrated. It requires the use of no fluxes when used on aluminium and its alloys, pewter, tin, or magnesium.

Surface-mount V-chip aluminium electrolytic capacitors from ACAL Components are designed to withstand reflow soldering to +260°C. Manufactured by NIC Components, the six new families of liquid ...

If you do a lot of soldering projects, you probably have a ton of solder beads around your work area. With a few tools you can melt them down and remold them into usable solder again. Solder isn't the ...

If you’ve ever tried to solder to aluminum, you know it isn’t easy without some kind of special technique. [SimpleTronic] recently showed a method that chemically plates copper onto aluminum and ...
