I have a 5lb roll of .125" flux core 63/37 solder that I want to melt into a solid slug. Can this be done without making a huge mess and lighting something on fire ?

We have come across this where the operator was using thin gauge solder wire (more suited to fine pitch SMT soldering) to form large solder fillets (power connections or sheild cans). We found that the operator was feeding large amounts of solder wir

Has anybody heard about solder wires for rework with a V-notch in order to avoid solder balls which might be caused by shooting flux when getting hot. The notch is as deep to reach the core so that the flux can expand easily. I can imagine the effect

Hi, I purchase a leadfree aven solder pot 300w. We are wanting to pre tin power and ground wires prior to soldering onto pcb. I have some anti-erosion flux cored wire solder from koki S03x7Ca-70m 1.6mm. Can this solder be used? If not what is t

I have never added anything but bar solder to a solder pot so I have no experience with adding flux cored wire, but I have to imagine that it would smoke like crazy and gum up the sides of your crucible before you ever touched a wire to it. We use

Hi Im trying to find a supplier for 30swg HMP solder wire idealy the alloy I want is 93.5Pb, 5Sn, 1.5Ag, 296 to 301 degrees C. Flux cored. 30swg or 0.3mm diamiter. but the critcal parts are the diameter and the melting point, 300 degrees +-20 degree

If you add any "flux cored" wire solder to the pot make sure you have ventilation as the flux will burn off and smoke like crazy. This solder pot is like any used in a wave or selective solder, no flux. The flux is added to wire prior to di

Hi, 1. do not use flux-cored wire- the smell is bad and flux will evaporate anyway at the time of solder wire melting. 2. as suggested use solder bars, something like this: https://smtnet.com/company/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_company&company_id=39635

Kester makes a thermocouple solder: Alloy SN10PB88AG2 Flux "44" Core 58 Diam 0.031" I have used this to solder thermocouples to pcbs when profiling for lead-free temperatures. When done you can unsolder the thermocouple and reuse it again. This g
