SOLDERING
YOU MAY ANSWER THIS VIA A GOOGLE FORM TO BE POSTED IN THE GOOGLE
CLASSROOM.
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT SOLDERING
Soldering is a joining process used to join different types of metals together
by melting solder. Solder is a metal alloy usually made of tin and lead which is
melted using a hot iron. The iron is heated to temperatures above 600 degrees
Fahrenheit which then cools to create a strong electrical bond.
