Can anyone tell me what is the melting point of this solder?

Not sure the melting point but I think it melts around 4-500 my iron is usually set around 650 and it's great stuff

The melting point of 99.3% Tin, 0.7% Copper solder is 455 °F (227 °C) As with any solder wire, you'll need to bring your iron 200-300 °F above that point in order to adequately heat your work piece so you don't end up with a cold joint. Because this is a fairly high melting point solder, it's not preferable for more delicate electronics (ICs, surface mount components), but should be fine for things like through-hole resistors, wires, etc.

Like the other respondant I can't give you an exact number but it melts well with my ancient 25-way soldering iron. A great replacement for old fashioned 60/40 Pb - based some solder

The one I have gets up to about 700 or 750 deg F. It does not heat up fast. If this final temperature is right for solder I do not know. I have replaced this melter with a Lee 4-20 production pot.

I don't quite understand what you are asking. This is a paste that works the same as regular solder only at a lot lower temperature which makes it real nice on delicate electronics where it is not feasible to use a heat sink. I hope this helps you.

I can't tell you what wattage soldering iron but I can say that almost all soldering irons work with this stuff. It does not really require all that high of a temperature. If your iron will handle conventional solders, it will work fine with this. I understand it is not a lot of silver involved here even though it is called silver solder.

4o Watt is usually what is used. It will get the solder melted and stuck quickly. The faster you can stick it down the better off you are. These is less danger of breakage.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

my research says yes using 400 + degrees. Use adjustable temp control. I have not tried the lead Free solder Geri

Not yet. I don't use them for soldering. They are to hold plastic parts for building model kits for my railroading hobby. In looking at them, they look to be made of nylon base material. Not sure the melting point of nylon, but I would guess a solding gun or pencil could melt them.

I think all of my solder is lead-free silver solder, I clean it frequently while working and it seems fine. Don't know if it's more susceptible to damage or not.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

It will definitely melt zinc, I use wheelweight lead alot and it has a lot of contaminants, as for the max temp I'm not sure. I'm going to guess around 1000 degrees but I know when you get it good and hot the coils and even the lead itself glow red in poor/dark lighting

for surface mount part replacement, sra low temp. solder is invaluable...christopher

I'm not sure but it also did not clean silver well after soldering. I don't recommend it.

Honestly I think it could melt low temp metals. I dont know the melting point of copper. On large pieces, given some time, I do think it would melt soldering materials. I hope this helps.

Yes, MAPP will work fine for that. The melting point is only a little higher than that of plumbing solder. Be sure to use liquid flux, NOT the paste flux.

This silver bearing solder contains 6% silver (the remainder is tin) and melts at ~430F... silver solder used in other applications can range up to 40% silver and is useful because of its hardness... those melt at temps above 450F. The advantage of lower heat is probably useful to you in this application, but it may not be as hard as you want it to be. I would suggest you try it and see... cheap enough and little downside risk. If unsatisfied, you can always file it off and go with a higher heat/harder solder - be prepared to pay more and you may have to go for more exotic heat source (MAPP or oxy-acetylene). Good luck!

In my experience, it is the standard 76 degree melting point. Mine has been solid until that point.
