🔩 Premium Aluminum Solder Wire: 96.5 Sn/3.5Ag .062 Flux Core - Top Quality for Efficient Soldering Review

I used it to solder aluminum leads on a Tesla ribbon cable 3. It worked well for the first two pads, but then not so well. When I used this with unmanaged aluminum flux it matched perfectly and worked great.

Before I give just one star but now testing it with a really great soldering station and setting it to 480 degrees Celsius works fine so I'm giving five stars now If you If you want to get good results from this product, you'll have to scratch the surface to get great results.

This is a real plumb bob, not a pole. I don't know what's in the flux, but it contains NO LEAD and will bond to aluminum. I ran this bead over the photo, then let it cool and tried to scrape the bead off with pliers. It went nowhere. The worst I can say is that you will need a pencil torch as even a 60 watt soldering iron does not generate enough heat at the junction to overcome the heat build up of aluminium.

I've been soldering for about 30 years. mostly electronics. Recently I needed to solder a small aluminum plate (2" x 2.5" x 1/8"). I prepared the surface, heated it with a torch and applied this solder. The flux came out as expected, that Solder melted as expected Cut the aluminum and don't stick to the aluminum surface Try a few more times, gradually increasing the temperature to the point where my material has melted, and doesn't go.
