What is a Brazing Flux?

A Brazing Flux (FLUX,BRAZING) is an item designed primarily for brazing but may sometimes be used for welding in addition to brazing.

What is a Welding Flux?

A Welding Flux (FLUX,WELDING) is an item designed primarily for welding but may sometimes be used for brazing in addition to welding.

What is an Electric Soldering Iron Tip?

An Electric Soldering Iron Tip (TIP,ELECTRIC SOLDERING IRON) is a metallic item designed to be attached to the end of an electric soldering iron or an electric soldering iron handle for the purpose of transmitting heat to the item being soldered. Tt may include an integral electrical heating element and may be designed to accommodate a tiplet.

What is a Copper Brazing Alloy?

A Copper Brazing Alloy (BRAZING ALLOY,COPPER) is a brazing alloy whose main ingredient is copper. It is supplied in the form of wire, bar, strip, or grains (granular). Excludes BRAZING ALLOY, SILVER.

What is a Silver Brazing Alloy?

A Silver Brazing Alloy (BRAZING ALLOY,SILVER) is any brazing alloy containing silver. It is supplied in the form of strip, rod, wire, pigs, grain, shot, chips and various preformed shapes such as washers, rings, and the like. Excludes BRAZING ALLOY, GOLD.

What is a Metallic Overlay Welding Powder?

A Metallic Overlay Welding Powder (WELDING POWDER,METALLIC OVERLAY) is a metallic powder used for coating metallic or nonmetallic surfaces by the welding process, to produce a surface resistant to abrasion and/or corrosion. It may be applied with an oxy-acetylene torch, furnace, or with a spray weld gun.

What is an Electric Soldering Iron Heating Unit?

An Electric Soldering Iron Heating Unit (HEATING UNIT,ELECTRIC SOLDERING IRON) is an item having a terminal end with a means of being attached and electrically connected to a soldering iron handle. The opposite end has a means to accommodate a soldering iron tip. It may include an integral thermostatic control. It is designed to transfer electrical energy into heat and to transfer the heat to a soldering iron tip. For heating units with integral soldering iron tips, see TIP, ELECTRIC SOLDERING IRON.

What is a Solid Cutting Electrode?

A Solid Cutting Electrode (ELECTRODE,CUTTING,SOLID) is a coated or uncoated nonfiller material in solid rod form. It is used to cut and pierce or groove and chamfer ferrous or nonferrous metals where the melting heat is supplied through the medium of an electric arc wherein the rod serves as carrier of the electric current. Excludes ELECTRODE, WELDING.

What is a Spray Gun Wire?

A Spray Gun Wire (WIRE,SPRAY GUN) is an item of various chemical compositions specifically designed for metallizing by flame spraying.

What is an Electric Desoldering Tool?

An Electric Desoldering Tool (DESOLDERING TOOL,ELECTRIC) is an item designed to transmit heat from an electric heating element to a desoldering tip/head for desoldering one or more connection(s) or multiple-pole component parts from wiring boards.
