Synopsis

Get the latest developments in solder technology

You can't work in electronics without solder -- and you shouldn’t work with solder without Solders and Soldering, Fourth Edition. Profusely illustrated, this book by the world's top solder educator has been the leader in its field for two decades.

You’ll learn 29 different methods for soldering and heating (for both automatic and manual procedures), and learn about the strengths and weaknesses of each method for varying applications. This up-to-date edition deals at length with modern cleaning materials and processes, emphasizing EPA and OSHA guidelines and regulations, and provides you with state-of-the-art techniques for soldering with miniaturized circuit boards.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The Leader for Over Three Decades

"...a recommended addition to the reference library of anyone involved in solders and soldering." -- Welding Journal, on the Second Edition
