    SOLDERING
                    
                        Soldering is a jointing process used to join different types Electrical or Electronic component together, also metal. 
                    Soldering differs from other metal bonding approaches such as brazing or welding in both the temperatures used to create the bond and the resulting strength of the bond. The generally accepted definition of soldering given by the Welding Society is that soldering takes place at temperatures below (450oC). Higher temperature bonding processes produce stronger bonds that are not subject to stress-induced creep.

How does it work?

Solder is melted by using heat from an iron connected to a temperature controller. It is heated up to temperatures beyond its melting point at around 450 degrees fahrenheit which then causes it to melt, which then cools creating the soldered joint.

As well as creating strong electrical joints solder can also be removed using a desoldering tool.

Solder is a metal alloy used to create strong permanent bonds; such as copper joining in circuit boards and copper pipe joints. It can also be supplied in two different types and diameters, lead and lead free and also can be between .032" and .062". Inside the solder core is the flux, a material used to strengthen and improve its mechanical properties.


Types of Soldering

There are three types of soldering which use increasingly higher temperatures, which in turn produce progressively stronger joints:

  • Soft soldering (90 °C - 450 °C) - This process has the lowest filler metal melting point of all the soldering types at less than around 400°C these filler metals are usually alloys, often containing lead with liquidus temperatures under 350°C. Because of the low temperatures used in soft soldering it thermally stresses components the least but does not make strong joints and is then therefore unsuitable for mechanical load-bearing applications. It is also not suited for high temperature use as this type of solder loses strength and melts.
  • Hard (silver) soldering (>450 °C) – Brass or silver is the bonding metal used in this process, and requires a blowtorch to achieve the temperatures at which the solder metals.
  • Brazing (>450 °C) – This type of soldering uses a metal with a much higher melting point than those used in hard and soft soldering. However, similarly to hard soldering, the metal being bonded is heated as opposed to being melted. Once both the materials are heated sufficiently, you can then place the soldering metal between them which melts and acts as a bonding agent.

What metal used In solder?
                                                     
                              Solder is basically metal wire with a "low" melting point, where low for our purposes means low enough to be melted with a soldering iron. For electronics, it is traditionally a mix of tin and lead. Tin has a lower melting point than Lead, so more Tin means a lower melting point.

multimeter

What is a digital multimeter? A  digital multimeter  is a test tool used to measure two or more electrical values—principally voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms). It is a standard diagnostic tool for technicians in the electrical/electronic industries. Digital multimeters long ago replaced needle-based analog meters due to their ability to measure with greater accuracy, reliability and increased impedance. Fluke introduced its first digital multimeter in 1977. To better  understand  digital  multimeters,  it’s  helpful  to  become  clear  on  the  basics  of electricity.                       After  all,  digital multimeter  always  measure  some  aspect  of  electricity. In  the  case  of electricity,  that  force  might  be  a  generator,  battery,  solar  panel  or  some  other  power supply.  The  pressure  created  by  that  power  supply  is  called  voltage.   Voltage  is  the  pressure  applied  to  the  circuit.   Current  is  t

Annemometer

Annemometer is also known as wind speed meter. It is a measuring device.  It measure wind speed and it's direction. The term is derived from the Greek word  anemos , which means  wind , and is used to describe any wind speed instrument used in  meteorology . The first known description of an anemometer was given by  Leon Battista Alberti  in 1450. Connection For connection we need a wind speed sensor  & device for reading signal of sensor. First of we need a DC supply for activate sensor and device. Above picture it clear that wiring diagram. When a DC power supply connected with sensor and it blade run then in output we get signal. That signal connected in device. And device show result. Wind speed measure in m/s, kph, mph. Application Mostly wind speed meter used in industrial areas. And also it use in home.

Ammeter

It's Electronic device in which we measure current in amperes (A)in close Circuit. It is connected in series with circuit. The effective resistance of ammeter is low The Resistance of an ammeter is zero. A moving coil of galvanometer is converted in to an ammeter by connected a suitable low resistance in parallel to it. Circuit must be disconnected in order to attach the ammeter. Ammeter considered as less accurate value. Type of ammeter There are 7 type of ammeter. 1.Moving coil  2-Moving magnet  3-Electrodynamic  4-Moving iron  5-Hot wire  6-Digital  7-Integrating Moving coil ammeter:                                   The D'Arsonval galvanometer is a moving coil ammeter. It uses magnetic deflection, where current passing through a coil causes the coil to move in a magnetic field. The modern form of this instrument was developed by Edward Weston, and uses two spiral springs to provide the restoring force. The uniform air gap bet
