How to properly maintain and extend the life of the tip

After applying lead-free soldering, the life of the soldering iron tip will be greatly shortened! How to properly maintain the soldering iron tip and prolong its life?
Generally, the tip structure is mainly made of copper, and the outside is plated with iron (iron plating layer), while the front end of the iron plating layer is plated with tin (tin plating layer), and the rear end is plated with anti-oxidation chromium. Since tin and iron are also highly reactive metals, they are easily combined into a mixed metal, especially at high temperatures. Moreover, the fluxes used in soldering (especially highly active) are also catalysts that accelerate their reaction to produce mixed metals.
When using the tip for the first time, adjust the temperature to 250 °C, then clean the tip and add a layer of new tin for protection. When soldering, clean the old tin on the tip, solder it, then put it. Return to the iron frame and repeat the above actions when soldering again.
The base of the soldering iron head is made of copper material with good heat transfer. The surface is plated with iron, tin and other materials. Since the soldering iron works quickly in the high temperature state, a steel tube is added to the copper tube to slow down the oxidation rate. In normal use, the oxide in the steel pipe should be cleaned in time. The specific method is to remove the oxide head from the top of the tip and the bottom of the tip down the bottom of the head every day (or every few days). This can completely prevent the oxide. The soldering iron is sintered on the heating core.
The cleaning sponge should not be too much water, so the excess water should be squeezed out. This can make the tip cleaned. Using a non-wetting cleaning sponge will damage the tip and cause no tin.
Try to use low temperature soldering. If the tip temperature exceeds 470 degrees, its oxidation rate is twice that of 380 degrees.
Do not wipe the soldering iron on the cleaning sponge and put it back on the soldering iron frame. Always keep the soldering iron on the soldering iron to prevent oxidation. Turn off the power after not using it for a long time.
When soldering, the position of the tin on the soldering iron tip should be avoided as always in the same place, so as to avoid local corrosion affecting the use of the whole soldering iron tip. When welding, do not apply too much pressure, otherwise the tip will be damaged.

Cook breakfast,lunch and dinner in any weather-hot or cold-on the single-burner,fully-adjustable multi-fuel stove.the cooking surface is compact enough to fit inside a pack ,but large enough to prepare a trail meal.with the opition of using liquid feul or unleaded gasoline,the stove is less expensive to fire up.the all-season stove is perfect for camping,hunting and even in cases of emergency.

Such products are the most common oil-type heater in the market. Electric heating heater, also known as "oil-filled heater", a popular safe and reliable space heater, which is mainly by the sealed electric components, metal heat pipe or heat sink, temperature control components, lights and other components. The heater is filled with YD series of new type of heat transfer oil. Its structure is to install the electric heating tube with a number of heat sink under the cavity, in the cavity around the electric tube filled with heat transfer oil. When the power is turned on, the heat transfer oil around the heating tube is heated to the upper part of the cavity, circulated along the heat pipe or heat sink, and the heat is radiated through the surface of the cavity wall to heat the space environment and achieve the purpose of heating. Then, the air-cooled heat-conducting oil is lowered to the periphery of the heating tube and heated again to start a new cycle. This heater is usually equipped with bimetallic temperature control components, when the oil temperature reaches the set temperature, the temperature control components to disconnect their own power. Electric oil heater heater surface temperature is low, generally not more than 85 ℃, even if the human body will not cause burns. The mainstream products on the market include: ordinary heat sink type - heat sink has 7, 9, 11, 13, etc., the use of power in 1200 ~ 2000 watts or so. It is safe, hygienic, smoke-free, dust-free and tasteless. It is suitable for people with easy access to the heater, such as living room, bedroom, aisle and so on. It is more suitable for the elderly and children's family. Product sealing and insulation are good, not easy to damage, the service life of more than 5 years. Disadvantages are hot inertia, the temperature is slow, too much solder joints, long-term use may be solder joint oil quality problems.
