Weldcote Metals Common Solder is a solid, lead-based wire solder in a 0.0625" diameter, formulated for joining copper and most copper alloys, lead, nickel alloys, and steel. This common solder works with soldering guns, irons, and torch applications, making it a versatile choice for metalworking and repair professionals who need dependable, consistent joins.
Key Features:
- Diameter: 0.0625" solid wire construction
- Compatibility: Suitable for copper, most copper alloys, lead, nickel alloys, and steel
- Heat Sources: Works with soldering guns, irons, and torch applications
- Acid Core Option: Designed for materials with poor solderability, including stainless steel applications
- Rosin Core Option: Formulated for electrical applications
- Tin/Antimony 95/5 Option: Delivers high electrical conductivity and high fluidity for moderately elevated temperatures; recommended where lead contamination must be avoided, but not for use on brass or HVAC connections
Ideal For:
- Metal fabrication and repair shops working with copper, steel, and nickel alloys
- Electrical technicians needing rosin core solder for circuit work
- Applications requiring acid core solder for stainless steel or hard-to-solder materials
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can this solder be used on potable water systems?
No. This is a lead-bearing solder and must not be used in potable water systems.
Q: Is this solder suitable for HVAC or brass connections?
The Tin/Antimony 95/5 variety is not recommended for brass or HVAC connections; check the specific solder type before use on these applications.
Choose the acid core, rosin core, or Tin/Antimony 95/5 variant based on your material and application needs for a secure, reliable solder joint.
