How to tin a soldering iron
New soldering iron head on the tin method for the first time, energized to the heat to be able to tin, can be used more than 800 number of sandpaper or knife to remove the tip of the soldering iron tip part of the oxidized layer immediately dipped in rosin or solder paste and then go to dip on the tin into the. Subsequently, such as the soldering iron tip oxidation does not stain the tin, and with the beginning of the method once again can be.
First of all, I think you should have a better quality of the soldering iron, why is it, because the good quality of the soldering iron soldering iron head surface will have a layer of metal plating, this layer of metal plating is to prevent oxidation, in general with this layer of metal plating, the soldering iron head will not be oxidized, although the soldering iron head on the tin will be oxidized, but will not be oxidized to the head of the soldering iron. If the soldering iron tip is not tinned, just wipe off the oxidized tin on a sponge soaked in water, because the tip will not be oxidized, and it can be easily tinned.
Remember, do not sand, or the metal coating is destroyed, then the iron head is ruined.
Keywords: quality soldering iron tip. Metal plating. Water-soaked high-temperature sponge. Erase. Do not polish.
If the appeal doesn't work, the second method, guaranteed to work. In the soldering iron is not plugged in the time with a file to file the soldering iron head to bright, and then use the tin wire will be wrapped all over the head of the soldering iron. Finally plugged into the electricity and wait for the tin wire melting on it, this approach is the best way I have felt for many years, a hundred hits.
Finally note that the soldering iron head should always ensure that there is tin, especially when not in use, or tin is oxidized and finished on the tin is not good.
New Luo iron can be used directly with rosin containing solder wire melted in the Luo iron head, because the new Luo iron head is specially treated, if you can not tin, can also be used with rosin, in the heating of Luo iron at the same time, the Luo iron head invasion of rosin on the and melt the solder wire, generally can solve the problem.
If the Luo iron head is the old Luo iron head, the top has been oxidized seriously, you can use a utility knife or fine sandpaper, the Luo iron head of the oxidation into the clean up, and then heated invasion of rosin, with the solder wire melted to the Luo iron head, because rosin is a clean-up role and can help the role of the solder wire flux.
Luo iron head temperature is generally not too high, too high is easy to burn Luo iron head.
