Soldering as a technique in jewelry making at MTSIFA
Abstract
Soldering is the joining of two or more similar or dissimilar metals by the use of solder and
application of heat to the object. Solder is an intermediary non-ferrous alloy whose
composition in the molten state becomes extremely fluid, and has an affinity for metals
joined, the proportions of the metal components in solder alloys are constituted to give
them the thermal property of melting point of the parent metal being joined. The solder flows
freely in the space between the parts to bond them solder acts as permanent filler.
