This view has more or less been completely turned upside down, says Dr. Wadhwa, who is co-editing a special issue of scientific papers on pregnancy and stress to be published in Health Psychology next year.
A wire feeder is used to supply solder. Both lead-tin and silver-tin material can be soldered. Process recipes will differ depending on the alloy composition. For soldering 44-pin chip carriers to a board using soldering preforms, power levels were on the order of 10 Watts and solder times approximately 1 second.
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.
