4. Aplikace
Oatey 22017 95/5 Solder is suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- Plumbing systems, especially those carrying potable water.
- Refrigeration lines.
- Cooling equipment.
- Any application requiring a lead-free solder that can withstand frequent and extreme temperature fluctuations and vibrations.
5. Preparation for Soldering
Proper preparation is essential for creating strong, leak-free solder joints.
- Čisté povrchy: Ensure all surfaces to be soldered are clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease, or oxidation. Use a wire brush or abrasive cloth to clean copper pipes and fittings until bright.
- Apply Flux: Apply a thin, even coat of appropriate lead-free flux to both the male and female parts of the joint. Flux helps clean the surfaces further and allows the solder to flow properly.
- Assemble Joint: Assemble the joint immediately after applying flux, ensuring a snug fit.
6. Operating Instructions (Soldering Process)
Pro efektivní pájení postupujte podle těchto kroků:
- Heat the Joint: Using a suitable heat source (e.g., propane torch), apply heat evenly to the fitting, not directly to the solder. The goal is to bring the entire joint to the solder's melting temperature.
- Test Solder Flow: Periodically touch the solder wire to the joint, opposite the heat source. When the joint reaches the correct temperature, the solder will melt and be drawn into the joint by capillary action.
- Aplikujte pájku: Once the solder begins to flow, remove the heat source and continue feeding solder into the joint until a complete bead is formed around the entire circumference. Avoid overheating, as this can burn the flux and prevent proper solder flow.
- Cool and Clean: Allow the joint to cool naturally without disturbance. Do not quench with water, as this can weaken the joint. Once cool, wipe away any excess flux residue with a damp tkanina.
7. Údržba
This solder product itself requires no maintenance. Store unused solder in a dry place at room temperature. Ensure soldering tools are cleaned and maintained according to their respective manuals.
8. Troubleshooting Common Soldering Issues
- Solder Not Flowing:
- Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and fluxed.
- Apply heat evenly to the fitting, not the solder directly. The joint may not be hot enough.
- Check for proper heat source and technique.
- Leaking Joint:
- Indicates an incomplete solder fill or improper wetting.
- Re-clean, re-flux, and re-solder the joint, ensuring adequate heat and solder application.
- Avoid disturbing the joint while it cools.
- Burnt Flux:
- Caused by overheating the joint.
- Reduce heat application time or intensity. Ensure heat is applied to the fitting, allowing it to transfer to the solder.
