What is soldering?

Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal (solder) into the joint. The solder has a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. It is commonly used in electronics assembly to connect components to a printed circuit board, as well as in plumbing to join pipes.
