SOLDERING Meaning and
Definition
-
Soldering is a technique used in various industries, particularly electronics and metalworking, where two or more metal objects are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal alloy. It involves using a heated soldering iron or soldering gun to heat the joint area and the filler metal, called solder, thus creating a strong and durable bond between the metals.
Soldering is commonly performed by first cleaning the surfaces to be joined to remove any oxides or contaminants that could hinder the bonding process. Flux is then applied to the joint area to prevent further oxidation and promote wetting, which enables the solder to flow smoothly along the joint. The soldering iron's tip, usually made of copper, is heated until it reaches the melting temperature of the solder. The molten solder is then applied to the joint, where it solidifies upon cooling.
Soldering is preferred over other methods of joining metals, such as welding or brazing, when the parts being joined have a lower melting point, are more delicate or when a lower heat input is desired. It allows for a strong electrical and mechanical connection between the joined metals, making it a widely used technique in the assembly and repair of electronic circuits, plumbing systems, jewelry making, and other applications.
In summary, soldering is the process of using heat to melt a filler metal, known as solder, to join two or more metal objects together, providing a reliable and durable bond.

Etymology of SOLDERING
The word "soldering" has its origins in Old French. It comes from the verb "soudre", which means "to join or unite together". In turn, "soudre" can be traced back to the Latin word "sūdere", meaning "to sweat" or "to weld". The metaphorical link between joining metallic parts and the process of sweating or welding together is how the term "soldering" came into use to describe the act of bonding or fusing metals together using a solder.
