What is the purpose of the alloy in soft soldering?
To join two metals using heat
What do electricians rely on the soldering iron to provide?
The required high temperature (about 400°C)
Why is alloy important in the soldering process?
To ensure proper contact and bonding
What should you always do to the soldering iron tip before and after use to keep it clean?
Wipe it with a damp sponge
