Solder
Solder is an easily fusible bonding metal which in its molten state is used to join metal parts during soldering. The following types of solder are available:
Light solder joints
These include metals whose composition is chosen to produce a melting point at very low temperatures. Wood?s solder at 68 °C
Rose solder at 94 °C.
Soft solder in accordance with DIN 1707
Soft solders are lead-tin compounds with melting points between 180°C and 390°C.
Hard and high-temperature solders in
accordance with DIN 8513
Aluminium-based solders with melting temperatures between 575 and 615°C. Silver fillers for brazing have melting temperatures of 595 -860 °C.
Copper and nickel based solders
can be used at temperatures between 710 -1150 °C.
