mechanical solder spec
where do i find an industry spec for non-electric soldering. this is solder of sheet metal, etc. by soldering iron, induction, gas torch, oven, resistance, and dipping.

check out our whitepaper library.
what specifications are you looking for specifically: duration, appearance?
btw, of the items you mentioned, only gas torch is obviously non-electric. is non-electric relevant to the specification?

ihs has over 8000 specs related to "solder," so you'll need to get really specific.

by non-electric i mean soldering of joints not to include electric wiring. they have their own specs (ansi/j-std-001b). i want a spec that tells me how to solder:
method 1: the soldering iron is used for making small soldered joints and for producing and smoothing running joints and seams in sheet metal assemblies.
method 2: induction heating is used in making joints in large assemblies when the whole joint to be soldered must be at the joining temperature at the same time with minimum heating of adjacent areas.
method 3: the gas torch is used mainly in heating pipework and heavy metal joints and applying solder for the cosmetic smoothing of sheet metal surfaces.
method 4: oven heating is used for the simultaneous production of a number of joints pre-placed flux and solder. note: this method may only be used when the substained heat to which the whole assembly is subjected will not cause damage to its materials or components.
method 5: resistance heating is used to solder small parts or intricate or involved assemblies when it is desired to limit the heat to a selected portion of the assembly.
method 6: dip soldering is used for the simultaneous production of a number of joints on complex fixtured assemblies.

sounds like you really need brazing processes for structural applications.
aws has a lot of great info on this subject.
if available to you, go to ihs specs and standards and enter...
(doc no.) aws*
(text) brazing or soldering

regards, wil taylor
the braze spec uses temps 1200-1400f and solder <800f. is brazing done below 800f?
