Soldering is the process of joining two metal items. It secures these connections so they won’t break loose when exposed to vibration or other mechanical forces because it creates a strong bond between them. This article focuses on different applications and types of soldering, such as silver solder, and how each one can be used […]
When you’re facing disconnected pipes, you’ll need to solder them to join them together. You’ll need to insert hot copper and a melted metal alloy to fuse the pipes in order to avoid leaks and secure the water flowing through them. However, you need to be wary of what metals you use in your solder. […]
Water heaters with well-maintained and regularly replaced anode rods can last far longer than their typical life of eight to twelve years. With millions of water heaters ending up in a dump every year, the need to prolong their life is vital. Defects in water tanks caused during manufacturing, transportation, or installation will rust and […]
Lead is a toxic metal that was used for many years in common household products and municipal services such as plumbing. This metal can be discharged into the air from motorized vehicles and industrial sources and may enter drinking water through the corrosion of aging lead service lines or welding solder. Lead that contaminates drinking […]
Wire solder is a fusible metal alloy with a melting point that is low enough to be melted with a soldering iron or soldering gun while still having the attributes to meet specific applications. Solder is used to bond metal workpieces together and its applications are extensive. Solder is commonly used in, electronics, heating, air […]
