Soldering each type of solder and alloy has different melting temperatures. The term "silver solder" denotes the type of solder that is used. Some soft solders are "silver-bearing" alloys used to solder silver-plated items. Lead-based solders should not be used on precious metals because the lead dissolves the metal and disfigures it. The distinction between soldering and brazing is based on the melting temperature of the filler alloy. A temperature of 450 °C is usually used as a practical demarcation between soldering and brazing. Soft soldering can be done with a heated iron whereas the other methods typically require a higher
Constant phase element Constant phase element A constant phase element is an equivalent electrical circuit component that models the behaviour of a double layer, that is an imperfect capacitor. Constant phase elements are also used in equivalent circuit modelling and data fitting of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data. A constant phase element also appears currently in modeling the behaviour of the imperfect dielectrics. The generalization in the fields of imperfect electrical resistances, capacitances and inductances leads to the general "Phasance" concept: http://fr.scribd.com/doc/71923015/The-Phasance-Concept The electrical impedance can be calculated: where the CPE admittance is: formula_2 and Q and n (0<n<1) are frequency independent. Q =
