Each novice radio amateur sooner or later has to get a minimal set of tools and learn the basics soldering basics. To perform work quickly and highly as possible, it is necessary to master the soldering of the rosin.
How to solder a soldering iron with rosin
In order to start work, you must purchase minimal devices:
- electric soldering iron;
- tin or solder;
- rosin.
Relative to the power of the soldering iron, the usual 40 W (voltage 220V) is suitable. For home use of such a soldering iron is quite enough. Now Solder - it will be needed to connect nodes and details. Solder can be different: rosin, tin alloy with lead. It is sold in the form of tubes (inside the flux) or in the form of a wire. The last option is better.
As for the selection of solders, the hardness and melting point is suitable for a flux with marking of pos (tin-lead solder), 60 is a percentage of tin, and 40 (this figure is not indicated, we calculate it yourself) - so much lead in this solder. Well, if you manage to find solder with a high lead (it differs in color, it will be darker). The melting point of such a solder is an order of magnitude higher, and this means - the increased strength of the soldering.
And finally, about fluxes - this substance is designed to remove from soldered parts, oxides. This is not avoided, because the tip of the soldering iron is copper and when heated will be oxidized, so it will be possible to remove the nagar. If this is not done, then the solder will not be attached to the details, but simply spread. Speak such contaminated stare will not work.
The easiest and most reliable flux is rosin. The material is natural, because the rosin is made of pine resin. This is a succulent liquid, has a pleasant coniferous aroma. Sold with chasses in pure form, in the form of a viscous or liquid flux. For beginners, both pure rosin and flux alcohol-rosin, this is a universal material consisting of a solution of rosin and ethyl alcohol in its pure form.
How to solder rosifoli
Everything you need acquired, prepared, you need to clean the steering of the soldering iron (and if it is not flattened, do it yourself). The thinner the tip, the more subtle work on the soldering can be performed. The corner of the sting should be dihedral 30-45 degrees.
How to solder rosin:
- Open the window, you need to work in a well-ventilated room.
- Turn on the soldering iron, wait until there is an unpleasant smell and characteristic smacks - the sting is hammered and ready to use.
- You can turn off the soldering iron to clean the sting.
- Turn on the electrical appliance again, wait when the sting is increasing.
- You can slightly post the locks of details (to touch the rosin several times to the riveted sting so that the tip is covered with the solder) to perform the high-quality grip of the soldered parts.
- Take the rosin, touch the tip of the sting to the rosin to get a little solder. Wait until it gets warm. It will take literally a few minutes.
- Attach the sting on the pine board for a few seconds, then repeat your actions again.
- After a few repetitions, you will succeed.
- The newcomer when mastering the oscillations soldering it is more convenient to work, so that the sting was bare, it is the most basic error when working. Because of the big bare of sting, the scheme often occurs.
- When working with a copper wire, one prominent is enough, that is, you need to warm up the sting, touch the rosin, make a sting to the working surface, lift the wire, omit in the rosin, attach a hot tip to the surface and lift the wiring.
- As a result of the actions done, the rosin will begin to smoke, the wire will continue to the canifoloic mass. After that, it will be necessary to cover the solder Tin, transfer to the wire.
- If, as a result of the actions done, the wire changed the color from yellow to silver, then this means that everything is done correctly. To solder 2 wires, you need to post both.
