Table of Contents

—The following soft solders melt at a temperature lower than that of boiling water: 1 part tin, 1 part lead, and 2 parts bismuth, melting point about 200° F.; 8 parts lead, 4 parts tin, 15 parts bismuth, and 3 parts cadmium, melting point 140° to 150° F.; 6 parts lead, 7 parts bismuth, and 1 part cadmium, melting point about 180° F. To ensure the alloys melting at the temperatures stated, the metals of which they are formed should be free from impurities, and care should be taken to prevent oxidation while making the alloys. When melting the metals, that having the highest melting point should be melted first, with a layer of resin over it, the other metals being added in the order of their melting points. The alloy should then be well stirred with a wooden stick, and poured quickly into moulds.
