DETAILS
40/60 tin-lead acid core solder is used to solder many ferrous and non-ferrous base metals, (except aluminum). The solder contains an activated flux core and a separate flux application is typically not required. Primarily used for small connections as there is a limited amount of flux available to protect the surface. Heat sources include soldering guns, irons, and air-fuel torches. It is not recommended in high stress or vibration joints in the cooling industry due to lack of sufficient elongation properties. Acid core solders are not recommended for electrical or electronic applications due to corrosive properties of the flux residue. Lead bearing solders are not to be used in potable water system applications.
