Who wants to know how to solder properly?

Any of the normal men, whether a programmer or a plumber, will say that the soldering iron is an indispensable thing, since it is the main assistant in combining various plastic and metal parts, from chips to tubes.

How to solder, every self-respecting man should know. If you do not know how to do this, do not get upset, because after reading this article, you will learn everything you need.

In order to connect two or more parts you need, you need to use a soldering iron, that is, solder them to each other. Soldering can be called the process of melting solder (special metal) on all surfaces intended for subsequent connection, which after cooling binds these parts. With the aid of a soldering iron and solder, it is possible to strengthen the parts and seal the unnecessary openings. How to solder:

• Using sandpaper to clean the surface of the parts to be joined, then degrease them with acetone or gasoline. This will eliminate all excess substances from the soldered surfaces. In order for the spike to pass just perfectly, you need to clean the surface of rust, fats and other oxidants. Such cleaning is carried out with the help of special solutions like flux. As a result, you protect the welded surfaces from the appearance of rust for a fairly long time.
• It is not enough to know how to solder correctly with a soldering iron, besides it is necessary to be able to make it properly cleaned. To do this, it is necessary to immerse the already heated soldering iron in the powder of ammonia or in rosin, which in turn will purify it from the oxidised metals and prolong the service life. It should be very cautious, since a heated soldering iron can easily cause a fire and from this no one is immune.
• The solder is a kind of mixture of a large number of low-melting metals, which, with little heating, melt and serve as an adhesive, that is, firmly hold the soldered parts. The shape of the solder is not fixed, which means that it can be anything, from leaves to chopsticks. With repeated use, the solder takes the form of a formless lump, which in turn makes it very difficult to use, since the heating of such a surface takes a long time. In order to avoid this, it is enough to cut off a small piece from it. We'll figure out how to solder: touch the red-hot soldering iron to the solder, and wait until it heats up, after that he must gather on the soldering iron tip and wrap him around. Carefully captures the brazed by its solder and no less accurately we transfer it to the point of spike parts, and then level the entire surface. Next, repeat this operation until the connection reaches a certain strength or the entire required area is closed. After the hardening of the solder has ended, it is necessary to wipe the welded surface with a damp cloth and clean it with a file or sandpaper. During stripping, you should try to make the surface as level as possible.
• How to solder the wires correctly? The secret of such soldering is very simple. Due to the fact that the wires are very thin and prone to damage, they should not be treated with various solutions like flux. It is enough to dilute a little rosin in a small amount of ethyl alcohol and this mixture to peel bare wires just before soldering.

So you have learned how to properly solder, now you can consider yourself a knowledgeable person in this field. However, to fully master this technique, practice is necessary.
