Fundamentals of Soldering
Soldering is a process which joins metals using a filler metal that melts at a lower temperature than the metals being joined. (Solder melts at less than 840°F or 450°C). The solder is distributed between closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary action.

Note:
Capillary action works best with joint clearances of .001" and .005"


To achieve a proper and sound soldered joint, the following steps should be taken:

Joint Design and Fitting: Design the joint to be soldered so that the clearance between the parts being joined allows the solder to be drawn in between them by capillary action. Secure the parts to be joined in Aladdin’s “Helping Hands” adjustable jig.
