How To Make Soldering Flux Liquid
Flux functions to prevent oxides from forming on the surface of heated metals.
How to make soldering flux liquid. With the help of this filler material is made the connection of copper brass silver. Make your own liquid flux. Solder top tining is very important to keep clean when working with electronics.
Add approximately 250 ml 1 cup of water to the ingredients in the pan. Solder flux is a kind of chemical used in Automatic PCB Assembly and Hand Soldering. Some fluxes are corrosive so the parts have to be cleaned with a damp sponge or other.
For soldering electrical circuits using fluxes in the form of tubes filled with colophony. The liquid is quick-drying soft and does not need the application of heat. Once the solder flux is cooled be prepared to clean the solder flux residue in an appropriate time-frame.
Make sure that everything stays in place while this is happening. Here is a simple and easy homemade rosin flux made from pine cones. Rosin Flux is manufactured from a type of Resin obtained from pines and some other plants.
The solder flux carries the oxide under the components and can cause some resistances around your. For flux for electrical soldering use rosin-based flux to make solid joints. In previous videos we compared different types of commercial flux but did you know its possible to make a simple and effective flux at home.
Then use your soldering gun or blowtorch to heat the solder flux until it turns into a liquid. We didnt use it for soldering though. I tried making flux from pine gum literally scraped from a tree dissolved in 99 isopropyl alcohol overnight and dripped through a coffee filter.
