Vacuum Aluminum Brazing (VAB) is utilized to perform fluxless brazing of Aluminum components in a high vacuum environment. The process demands tight control of temperature uniformity together with low ...

Most of us are used to temperature controlled ceramic heating elements, but there are other ways to get those irons up to temperature. Using scraps from older, presumably broken, soldering irons ...

After this prep, [Ted] uses a hot soldering iron and a blob of solder, heating it until it sticks. A fair bit of heat is usually needed, because aluminum is a great heat conductor and tends to be ...

Like welding, it may use one of several different heating methods. Soldering is similar to brazing but differs in that the liquidus of the filler metal (solder) must be less than 450° C. Soldering may ...
