UNIT: WORKSHOP PRACTICE 2
TASK: REPORT ON SOLDERING
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this exercise was to practice soldering on a wooden board and construct a
soldering circuit on the wooden board using tack nails and copper wires
...
The soldering process involves heating the surfaces to be joined and
melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong and
durable joint
...
Solder is a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between
metal workpieces
...
There are two types of joints: wet joints and dry joints
...
It is a
good joint and leads to a strong connection
...
This appearance is caused
by the crystallization of the liquid solder

Strip a cable of its insulation using a wire stripper
...
Solder the copper wires onto the tack nails using a soldering iron and solder
DATA PRESENTATION
SOURCES OF ERRORS
1)Failure to properly clean the tack nail heads, causing the solder to loosen and form weak
joints
...
3)Oxidized soldering cartridge – If the soldering cartridge suffers from oxidation, the
wetting capabilities are severely hampered due to the barrier created by oxidation,
impacting the smooth flow of solder and the wetting process
...
Underheating prevents the solder from reaching
optimal fluidity, impeding adequate contact with the component
...
CONCLUSION
This exercise highlighted the importance of proper preparation and technique in
soldering to achieve strong, reliable connections
...
RECOMMENDATIONS
1)Ensure the heads of the tack nails are properly cleaned before the soldering process
...
3)In case of oxidation, allow the soldering gun to cool and file it to remove the barrier
...
Monitor for overheating and allow the soldering iron to cool if necessary
