Dip and Wave Method of Soldering - Dip soldering consists of dipping assembled, flux coated joints into pools or baths of liquid solder. These baths, which supply both heat and solder to the joints, may vary in size from 2 to 4500 kgs.
Dip method has the, advantage that the entire unit comprising any number of joints can be soldered in one operation thereby increasing production volume at minimum cost of equipment. Fixtures are needed to hold the unit and maintain proper clearances.
Many types of equipment, as listed below, are dip soldered:
(i) Electrical pigtail or lug joints,
(ii) Electric motor armatures,
(iii) Radiators of all types,
(iv)Cans of all types,
(v) Electronic gear such as printed circuits.
