To answer this question, you need to think about what kind of soldering you are trying to do, as well as understanding the anatomy of a soldering iron tip. | |
=== Soldering Tip Anatomy === | |
- | Every soldering iron tip is composed of copper, which often has an overall plating of iron, and |
+ | Every soldering iron tip is composed of a copper core, which often has an overall plating of iron, and a further plating of chrome on the non-working portion (the tip of the "tip"). Years ago, soldering iron tips were made from copper with no plating. Solder slowly dissolves copper, so the tips would become pitted and misshapen. |
- | A thin iron plating solved that problem |
+ | A thin iron plating solved that problem, as iron isn't as soluble in solder but it does conduct sufficient heat to melt it. This allows tips to last a great deal longer, as they are less prone to react with the solder. The chrome plating on the shaft is not as capable in wetting the solder and is not readily oxidized. You use the parts of the tip that have iron plating to solder with. |
- | The higher tin content of modern lead-free solder and the resulting higher soldering temperatures mean that tip wear is increased |
+ | Wear occurs to the tip when the iron is hot and exposed to tin. The higher tin content of modern lead-free solder and the resulting higher soldering temperatures mean that tip wear is increased. However, modern advancements in tip manufacturing causes wear to be less of a concern when [[Soldering Best Practices#Section_Tinning|Best Practices]] are followed. |
