kõvajoodisjootmiseks
Kõvajoodisjootmine is a soldering process that uses a filler metal (solder) with a melting point higher than 450 degrees Celsius (842 degrees Fahrenheit). This distinguishes it from soft soldering, which uses filler metals with lower melting points. The process involves heating the base metals to be joined and then applying the filler metal, which melts and flows into the joint by capillary action. Once cooled, the filler metal solidifies, creating a strong metallurgical bond between the base metals. The filler metal is typically an alloy of copper, silver, nickel, or other metals, chosen based on the specific application and the metals being joined. Flux is used during kõvajoodisjootmine to clean the surfaces of the base metals and prevent oxidation during heating, ensuring proper wetting and flow of the filler metal. This method is widely used in industries such as plumbing, HVAC, electronics, and manufacturing where strong, durable, and leak-proof joints are required. Unlike welding, kõvajoodisjootmine does not melt the base metals themselves, making it suitable for joining dissimilar metals and for applications where heat distortion could be a concern. The resulting joints are typically very strong and can withstand significant mechanical stress and temperature variations.
