Been using soft solder for years, it's better and worse than the lead free stuff in different ways. The lead free has a higher melting point and is more fragile when solid but it's relatively safe to work with, nowadays it's everywhere and one of the reasons a lot of modern electronic stuff fails due to fatigue or bad joints. It's a devil to work with but not as toxic as the old stuff. Soft solder has a degree of flexibility thanks to the lead so less prone to cracking, lower melting point too but the downside is the lead, easy to repair and fix stuff but slightly toxic. Lead fumes are quite nasty Great to see Bob's skilled hands at work too. You can sort of replace lead free with leaded but it's hit and miss. Having enough flux is key too all kinds of soldering.

We used to use 'raw spirits' and 'killed spirits' to SOLDER brass and munze metal which was a softer brass alloy, the difference between the two 'spirits' was the 'killed spirits' was that the 'killed spirits' was 'killed' with zinc so that it would not react so heavily with the base metals. Strips of 'galvanised iron' were placed in the 'raw spirits' untill the acid stopped reacting and this was called 'killed spirits'. You could use 'raw spirits' on galvanised product with subsequent soldering using 'killed spirits' but on copper and brass you only use 'killed spirits' ! Paste fluxes were hardly ever used in the production of any of the items we made and we used 60\40 solder most of the time but used 40\60 solder on stainless steel, those proportions are lead\tin in that order. All solder was stamped with the appropriate quantities of lead\tin in them. I ,must add that I completed my 'indentured apprenticeship'almost 50 years ago when the vast amount of the manufacturing work that we did in the Queensland Govt Railways was of a sheet metal variety ? As a Plumber and Drainer it was mandatory to complete the sheet metal side of the apprenticeship as well. I was fortunate that I also had to complete levels of Oxy acetylene and Arc Welding, I was also fortunate that we had some very good Boilermaker Welders who were prepared to help me with Arc Welding ?

When I was taught soldering - in nineteen hundred and frozen to death - we used Phosphoric acid to solder stainless steel and Bakers fluid - killed spirits - on bronze, brass, steel and copper with tinman’s (60/40) solder. Lead was “wiped” using plumber’s solder and tallow as flux. Fluxite paste, that Bob was using, is killed spirits in a gel. Cored solder, for electrical work is resin, so non-corrosive. We, also, used plumbers smudge, carbon black in grease, to stop solder sticking where you don’t want it. When hard soldering with oxy- acetylene we just used soot from the acetylene flame, with no oxy added, to deposit carbon on to the part, then removed the soot where we wanted to solder.

Lead has a sweet taste that’s why youngsters used to chew painted surfaces it’s called pica medically
@SeanBZA4 жыл бұрын
@@mikewoods4177 The Romans used to boil spoilt wine in lead lined pots to make it sweet. the sweetness came from the hot acetic acid in the spoilt wine reacting with the lead to form lead acetate, which, in addition to being a soluble and toxic form of lead, is also quite sweet tasting in small doses. Thus your sweet wine would slowly kill you as the lead built up in your body. The lead in paint was mostly lead oxide, added as a white pigment. It too would react with CO2 in the air and moisture, along with heated rooms, to slowly form lead carbonate which is off white, thus the paint yellowing with time. Also it is slightly soluble, especially in a mild acid like your saliva is, and thus also has a slight sweet taste. Downfell of roman life was lead in the wine, and to a lesser extent lead piping, because only the newest piping would have exposed lead surfaces, as the water source for Rome was in the mountains, where the water was very high in dissolved limestone rock, which would gradually precipitate up in the water supply to form a synthetic marble, which was actually prized in Medieval times as a source of very thin large slabs of stone that would have multi metre lengths with no visible joins in it, often used in churches for alters. Strange that Pagan Rome later on was the foundation of the Christian church, which it tolerated in some respect as just being another god worship.

The Leaded solder mustn't be used for New electrical soldering. They wanted to ban the use of leaded solder all together but they couldn't. They had to allow it for repair of older units cos the old and new solders don't mix reliably. That also meant they couldn't ban the sale of it. Maybe the rules might change again with Brexshit. I've had two of those Silverline pencil torches. Both the bloody things leaked from the control valves … Flames Everywhere Not Fun One leaked straight off, the second leaked after a couple of months. I couldn't get it to behave no matter how I cleaned it up Nowadays if I need to flame solder I use a dinky little torch that holds a lighter as a gas tank. Same kind of needle flame, cheap as chips AND safer.

It's not dangerous using water for the test, but it would be if tested with any air in it. If it breaks with water the pressure will drop instantly and will only make a little pop.
@noelhenderson7004 жыл бұрын
With liquid water you won't get a burst. One of the joints might fail but liquid water is incompressible so the pressure would relieve instantly. A burst would occur with the prolonged release of energy from a compressible fluid as it expands.

You can get 60/40 or 63/37 lead tin from bang good or ali express - You might need to kiss a couple of frogs to sort out the genuine from the counterfeit shite, Don't buy a lifetime supply without getting a 50g sample roll first, genuine Mechanic brand is decent quality and not floor sweepings for a reasonable price - don't expect to pay peanuts for the real thing - decent quality lead costs, even from china (but not quite as much). The flux cleans the site of the join so on a building site you need an aggressive caustic flux for pluming, electrical components tend to be cleaner and as (usually) model making isn't usually done on a building site with greasy fittings you can usually get away with using electrical rosin on this sort of job (just use your loaf). If you do use aggressive flux - CLEAN the site thoroughly or you'll see just how aggressive pluming flux is - it will eat through thin copper in no time if left. Bob's got a nice touch and makes it look easy - using a flame on thin tin with electrical solder tales finesse, be careful not to burn it. Electrical should be used 320 - 380c, above 420c it will burn and turn brittle - go canny and keep the flame moving to avoid hotspots - if you see red you are stuffed.
