Frequent application of flux and solder should minimize accumulation of oxidation. Tip tinner should be used sparingly. A person I trust always uses flux and solder every second joint - using brass wool to clean the tip. He uses tip tinner after every 30th joint. Also use the lowest temperature possible to achieve a solid joint. Don’t leave the soldering iron sitting for extended periods with power to the tip. Reduce the temperature when not using the iron for soldering. Some soldering stations will automatically reduce temperature if no movement is detected. And always re-tin the iron before putting it away.

BIG QUESTION: I do wish for info on 1 thing. You speak of 'lower' temp of 500 deg, for tinning the tip, 'lower' than used in soldering. But no mention of the solder used & it's melting point/ soldering temp range? I have electrical no lead solder, with a range given of 416-454 deg F, I just discovered, which is actually lower than ALL of the temps discussed in this video, for tinning & soldering.

Just one caveat ---- dont buy any *red* Weller soldering iron or equipment; its their lowest quality product line but it's not even all that cheap. On my channel I compared a red Weller to a Harbor Freight Schneider soldering station that costs $20 less and is better designed, a much better buy.
@goodun29744 ай бұрын
Good video, and I've been soldering electronics for 55 years! I feel I should reiterate that the reason that copper is used as the preferred base metal for soldering iron tips is because it has excellent heat transfer characteristics; but unfortunately many of the cheap tips sold in bulk online are made of steel or iron throughout and have far inferior heat transfer charactistics which make it more likely that you will heat-damage the board because fully iron or steel tips will take longer to solder connections, and you can cause the foils to delaminate from the board. Tips made of a solid magnetic material can also induce current and voltages in sensitive components and damage them. You can check your tips with a magnet and they should only be attracted to the magnet at the pointy business end and not at the back end of the tips. There's a video on my channel where I demonstrate this. The pointy end of the tip needs to be plated with iron because unlike copper, which is easily dissolved into the solder and flux, iron will allow the solder to wet to it but isn't so easily dissolved. It's always best to buy your solder, flux and tips from an authorized electronics specialty distributor based in the country where you live instead of ordering them from Amazon, Banggood, Ali Express or whatever. PS, I strongly prefer the brass wool as a tip cleaner compared to the sponge which can create stress fractures in the tip plating; some people also saturate the sponge so much that steam comes up from it when they wipe the tip, and that's definitely doing it wrong!

@ale318ti I shielded my spindle wires. ( only like half way though so I made a new emi sheild that was proper length. ) Also I had some 12v lines for my stop start and hold buttons that ran through some relays that trigger auto shutdown when the drivers error out. The wires were a jumbled mess around the spindle area. I looked at my opto isolation board amd the leds were dimly lighting up at full power on my spindle. Realized it was attacking the 12v lines that are attached to the buttons and relay circuit. It's nit fixed yet, I've just identified rhe issue. I've been busy with school and work.

Solder is traditionally made of about 60% tin, 40% lead (the ratio may vary) and includes rosin flux inside the solder. Leadfree solder substitutes other metals for the lead, uses different and particularly unpleasant caustic,corrosive fluxes, and in my experience is far harder to work with for the average hobbyist.
@DaftyBoi4123 ай бұрын
@@goodun2974 Most good lead free solders these days now have no-clean flux, which is non corrosive and much eaiser to work with than previously. Thankfully the lead free solder tech has come a long long way since leaded solder started to be phased out of many manufacturing processes. The leadfree stuff I use runs like water even with my 40W iron (and it's not fancy solder or anything, it's good stuff but only costs like £15 for 100g of 1mm). You will run into huge issue if you try and use lead free solder with an iron that has had leaded on it though, or if working with an old board that has had leaded solder used on it prior as they do not mix, and it'll just make the solder work like it's full of impurities and clump up (this is actually still a big reason a lot of people don't like it when they try it, as they used the same iron that they use for leaded solder, and wonder why it it doesn't flow properly, then blame the leadfree solder). You have to fully remove and clean any old lead solder with wick before soldering with leadfree on the same board, and I'd start with a fresh tip completely if I was changing from leaded to lead free solder, or the other way round (or swap back to the appropriate tip).

As a telecom technician I occasionally had to do soldering repairs/upgrades in the field. I found the best/easiest way to clean my Weller soldering tips was to use a small piece of cardboard and insert the tip into one of the cardboard edge holes and rotate it in there. Very little tip heat loss (unlike a cold/wet sponge) and almost always took only one insertion in the cardboard to totally clean the tip. Of course on my office workbench I used the proper tip cleaning methods. Also, we had bins full of extra solder tips so replacement when necessary wasn't an issue.

I even question if they know how to solder in practice :-) Weller should stop wasting money and look how successful youtubers make their videos - short, up to the point, close up for great details, demonstrate real examples instead of talking, no stupid background music. It's that simple.
