Noun / Verb
Context #1 | Noun

metal joining

Solder is a fusible metal alloy used to join together metallic workpieces and has a melting point or melting range below that of the workpieces. It is commonly used in electronics manufacturing to create electrical connections.

Synonyms

bonding metal, filler metal, flux

Examples of usage

  • The technician applied solder to the circuit board.
  • He used solder to connect the copper pipes.
  • Solder flows into the joint as it melts.
Context #2 | Verb

Etymology

The word 'solder' originates from the Middle English term 'solderen', which comes from the Old French 'souder', derived from the Latin 'solidare', meaning 'to make solid'. The connection to the action of joining metals can be traced back to the practices of ancient metalworkers who used various alloys to fuse together materials. Over the centuries, the process has evolved significantly with advancements in materials and techniques. Initially, solder was often lead-based, but due to health concerns, lead-free solders have become more common in modern applications, particularly in electronics. The historical significance of soldering techniques can be seen across various cultures, where metalwork was essential for tools, construction, and art.
