Good and bad conductors of heat. Most metals are good conductors of heat; silver and copper are exceptionally good. On the other hand, substances such as cork, wood, cotton and wool are bad conductors. Both good and bad conductors have their uses. The âbitâ of a soldering iron is made of copper, so that when its tip is cooled through contact with the work, heat is rapidly conducted from the body of the bit to restore the temperature of the tip and maintain it above the melting-point of solder.
