• Soldering: Uses low heat and filler metal without melting the base metal;
    • Temperature – Below 450°C
    • Base Metal Fusion – Base metals do not melt
    • Filler Material – Required (low-melting alloys like tin-lead or silver)
    • Strength – Weakest joint, used for electrical and delicate work
    • Applications –  Electronics, circuit boards, jewelry, plumbing
    • Heat Source – Soldering iron or torch
