How to use and precautions for gas soldering iron
Working principle of gas electric soldering iron
The butane gas produced by liquefied butane is ejected at high speed from the storage tank, and the flame generated after ignition is used to heat it. But it is not directly used to heat the soldering iron tip (low thermal efficiency), but to heat the porous ceramic substrate catalyst with a flame, and when heated to red, a large amount of infrared radiation is emitted to heat the soldering iron tip (patented technology). High thermal efficiency, flame temperature up to 1300 ℃, controlled by adjusting the size of the flame to maintain a temperature between 200 ° C and 500 ° C.
usage method
When using, first rotate to the right and turn on the gas source switch. At this time, you can hear the sound of gas flowing and smell a little gas. At this point, you can use a lighter to aim at the opening of the soldering iron tip to ignite it, and then pay attention to observe that the inside of the opening of the soldering iron tip should quickly turn red. Ready to use, adjust the valve size with a soldering iron to control the temperature of the soldering iron tip.
When adjusting the temperature, the temperature can also be determined by observing the brightness of the opening of the soldering iron tip. There is a certain delay in closing the valve, and the flame will not immediately extinguish. Also, be careful not to lower it too much, otherwise it can be very dangerous. There is a small hole at the bottom of the soldering iron for refueling, which is the same as refueling our lighters when in use.
matters needing attention
The soldering iron tip is a long-lasting soldering iron tip made of pure copper substrate and processed with multiple layers of iron plating, chrome plating, and tin plating. It cannot be polished or its shape changed with a file. There are various types of soldering iron tips in the attachment. When purchasing, you should choose according to your needs. Due to the limited capacity of the gas storage tank, preparation work should be done before welding, and then the soldering iron should be ignited. It is not possible to ignite it for a long time without using it; Corrosive flux cannot be used in welding.
The heated soldering iron should not be placed directly on a table, plastic products, or other objects to avoid scalding them. Be careful not to touch it with your hands to avoid danger. If there are children nearby, be even more careful. After use, store it after it has cooled down.
