juottamalla

Juottamalla is a Finnish term used to indicate the means by which a task is performed, specifically by soldering. It functions as the adverbial participle form of the verb juottaa, and in Finnish it expresses method or manner. The phrase translates roughly to “by soldering” or “through soldering,” and it is most common in technical or instructional language.

In practice, juottamalla appears in procedures and descriptions that specify how metal joints are created. It is often used to introduce or qualify a step in a process, signaling that the operation relies on soldering rather than other joining methods. The related nominal form juottaminen refers to the act or process of soldering in general.

Context and related concepts: Soldering is a method used to join metal pieces by melting a filler metal, typically at temperatures lower than the base metals’ melting points. Soldering is distinct from welding, which fuses base metals together, and from brazing, which uses a filler metal with a higher melting point. In Finnish technical writing, juottamalla or juottamalla liitokset may be used to describe performing such joints by soldering.
