What knowledge do you have about the maintenance of OKI METCAL soldering iron tips?

The editor of Yapude Technology has compiled a maintenance Q&A list for everyone, hoping to provide you with some small help

1. What factors determine how long a soldering iron tip can be used under good conditions?

Operator's skills

The use of solder materials
The object being welded

2. The current soldering iron tips are more difficult to maintain than ever before,Is it because?

Use lead-free solder

3. What are the manufacturing components of soldering iron tips?

The copper surface is coated with a layer of iron, nickel, and chromium

4.Under which conditions will the soldering iron tip oxidize?

air

5.After welding,The best way to prevent oxidation is?

Tin plating on the soldering iron tip

6. Proper maintenance of soldering iron tips is required?

Wipe the soldering iron tip with a slightly damp sponge

Wipe on the copper wire coil
Apply a new layer of solder to the soldering iron tip

7.Which method is the most effective for repairing soldering iron tips?

Apply flux to the soldering iron tip, then immerse the soldering iron tip into the tin pot

8.Contacting a hot soldering iron tip with a very damp sponge will cause?

Form tiny cracks on the soldering iron tip

9. The more frequently the soldering iron tip is wiped on the sponge, the more it will cause damage?

It will cause more stress on the soldering iron tip

10. Using ordinary household sponge on the soldering iron tip will cause?

It will release chemicals that will corrode the soldering iron tip

It will release gases that are harmful to your health

11. Copper wire ball coil is the first choice for cleaning soldering iron tips because?

The temperature of the soldering iron tip does not rise or fall

12. Applying greater pressure to complete a weld will be?

May cause deformation of the vertebral soldering iron tip

13. The most effective way to transfer heat energy is?

Correct selection of soldering iron tip

14. When you choose a soldering iron tip,It's a choice?

Having the maximum contact surface but not exceeding the welding area

15. During the welding process,When the solder wire is continuously inserted into the soldering iron tip, it will cause?

The plating on the soldering iron tip may cause perforation

Soldering will gradually corrode the iron and copper on the soldering iron tip
The soldering iron tip will become unusable

16. During the welding process,The best way to protect the soldering iron tip is to use?

Welding thermal bridge

17. If using tweezers to remove and reinstall the soldering iron tip,It will be?

Will leave marks on the soldering iron tip

18. What water should be used to wet sponge?

Deionized water

19. What does lead-free soldering technology mean?

The temperature of the soldering iron tip is higher than that of lead

• The soldering iron tip is more prone to oxidation
• The lifespan of the soldering iron tip will be shorter

20. Welding equipment should be used for a long time when not in use?

Wipe the soldering iron tip clean with a slightly damp sponge or copper wire ball roll

• Apply a new layer of solder on the soldering iron tip
• Turn off the power of the device
