5.4 Soldering methods.

5.4.1 Type I - Conduction soldering. Conduction soldering (solderingiron) shall be performed with soldering irons having copper bits which may beheated electrically, or by oil, coke or gas flame. Regardless of the type ofiron used, the coppper bit shall store and transmit heat from the source tothe part being soldered, shall store and convey molten solder and shallwithdrsw surplus molten solder as required. Internally firedgas-flame-heated soldering irons may be used where electric power is notreadily available, or where soldering is done automatically at high rates ofspeed. Electrically heated irons, often more convenient than gas-heatedirons, should be used in ~nual hfgh-speed repetitive operations, where lightweight and ease of ~nipulation are desirable and open flames areobjectionable. Selection of iron shall be such as to perform the necessarysolderi~g operations with the greatest efficiency. For soldering process,electzic soldering ii~ns? confotin3 to W-S-570, soldering guns, conformingto $7-S-564,or non-.leccric soldering irons, conforming to A-A-50971 may beused.

5.4.1.1 Procedure. The areas to be joined shall be heated above theliquidua temperature of the solder. TO deliver maximum heat to the part, thecopper bit of the soldering iron shall be applied at the correct angle. Theflat side of the bit shall be applie~ to secure the maximum area of contact.Excessive time ~d temperature aha~l be avoided to prevent unreliable joints

and damage to parts. If required, ther~l shunts (heat sinks) shall be usedfor protection of parts. The parts to be joined shall be held together insuch manner that parts shall not move in relation to one another during thesoldering operation. The solder shall be applied to the joint and not to thesoldering iron. The joint shall not be disturbed until the solder hascompletely solidified.

5.4.2 Type 11 - flame solderfn~. The selection of a gas or oil burning

torch for soldering shall be controlled by the size, mass, and configurationof the assembly to-be soldered. Time for performing the operation will alsobe a factor in equipment selection. Depending upon the temperature andamount of heat required, fuels such as acetylene, propane, butane, andnatural gas, may be used in open air, or with compressed air or oxygen.Portability till be another factor in selection of a torch. For field work,a soldering torch kit, A-A-51128, using propane gas, may be used for torchsoldering.

5.4.2.I Procedure. Parts shall be preheated with a neutral or slightlyreducing flameto bring the entire joint uniformly to the iiquidustemperature of the solder’,but no higher than necessary to provide asatisfactory joint. Localized overheating shall be avoided. The solder maybe introduced at one edge of the interstice, or in a groove provided for one

of the mating surfaces, and shall flow by capillary action to fill theinterstice.

DOD-STD-1866

5.4.3 Type 111 - Dip solderin~ Mp soldering shall be performed by -immersing the assembled joint with preplaced solder metal in a bath of moltenflux, by immersing the assembled joint into a flux solution and then into abath of molten solder, or by dipping the parts into a bath of molten solderalloy covered with a layer of flux+ Pots for the bath, either electricallyheated or gas heated units, shall be of such capacity and construction as toallow production without appreciably lowering the temperature of the bath.The flux shall be of a type which has a stable flowability within thesoldering temperature range, and processes satisfactory fluxing properties.The flux bath shall be free of metallic impurities.

5.4.3.1 Procedure. When required or specified (see 1.4), assembliesshall be preheated in a suitable furnace and atmosphere to a temperature of25 to 100”F below the solldus temperature of the soldering alloy, Generallywhen a molten bath of solder is employed, no preheating is required. Theassembly, together with jigs or fixtures, when used immediately upo~ removalfrom the preheat furnace, shall be dipped into the molten bath at a uni$onrate so that the position of the prepared solder metal is not disturbed.Soldering times are dependent upon the shape and cross section of theassembly. Soldering is complete when the solder metal haa flowed evenly intothe joints. At this point, the assembly shall be removed slowly from thebath at a rate that will not cause loss of the molten solder metal. The

composition and quantity of solder flux or molten solder shall be adjustedperiodically. The operating temperature of the molten flux bath shall notexceed the liquidus temperature of the specified soldering alloy by more than20”F.

5.4.4 Type IV - Resistance solderin~. The transformer, electrode, and -

voltage/amperage controls shall be of sufficient size and capacity to provide

adequate heat over an area large enough to permit free flow of the solderalloy over the area to be soldered, wlchout overheating.

5.4.4.1 Procedure. Assembled parts shall then be placed between aground and a moveable electrode, or between two moveable electrodes, and thecurrent passed through the system. Heating of the joint is generated by

contact with the electrodes, and the heat energy evolved is a direct productof the resistance of the work and the current passing through it (Q = I R).Resistance soldering electrode bit generally cannot be turned; therefore,flux and solder must be in proper position before heating. Heating still be

discontinued as soon as the solder metal has flowed and formed fillets.

5.4.5 Type V - Oven and furnace solderin~ Ovens and furnaces shall beof suitable design and size to maintain uniforms constant temperature withinthe soldering area. Devices shall control the wwrking temperature within oneand one half percent of the temperature required for the item or items to besoldered. Ovens and furnaces shall be equipped with a means of controllingthe atmosphere within the oven or furnace, as required, to prevent oxidation

of the basis metals.

5.4.5.1 Procedure. Parts shall be assembled with proper fit inalignment as required with proper clamping fixtures. Flux may be used inaddition to control of oven or furnace atmosphere. Assemblies, cradled andracked, shall be placed in the oven or furnace In such manner that theatmosphere can reach all parts of the soldering assembly readily, and bringthe entire assembly to soldering temperature in the shortest possible time.Parts shall be held in the oven or furnace until the filler metal has meltedand formedassembliesoxidation.or furnaceto prevent

5.4.6design and

the desired bond. After soldering has been accomplished,shall be cooled in protective atmosphere, as required, to preventThe cooling of parts may be accelerated on removal from the ovenby the use of an air blast on the hot parts, caution being takenwarpage.

Type VI - Induction solderin~. Induction coils shall be of suchconstruction as to provide suitable heating of the joint areas.

Coil design must allow for corner effects on rectangular parts, surfaceirregularities which must be in the heat zoue, and for joining of dissimilarmetals, particularly joints composed of both magnetic and non-magneticcomponents.

5.4.6.1 Procedure. The mating surfaces shall be coated with flux,either corrosive or noncorrosive, containing a minimum percentage of solventin order to reduce the amount of volatile matter driven off during heating.Alternately, parts may be enclosed in a suitable atmosphere. The fillermetal shall be placed in position and the joint heated by placing within, ornaar----, a ~tui~~b~~iadl~~~i~nhe~tfng enil.

5.4.7 Type VII - Ultrasonic solderinq. Oscillators for generatingelectrical impulses, magnetostrictive transducers, shall be of such designand construction as to provide suitable cavitation erosion on the surface ofthe metal, permitting molten solder to wet the surface. The ultrasonicvibrations shall be transmitted from the laminated nickel core, which is usedto reduce eddy currents, to the joint. A metal rod of suitable length, whichconnects the transducer to the soldering bit, shall be attached to the coreso that maximum disturbance will result at the free end. The free end of themetal rod, which forms the soldering bit, shall be immersed in a small poolof molten solder that contacts the surface to be soldered. The metal rodshall then be moved across the surface of the base metal or joint so thatultrasonic vibrations break Up the oxide on the surface, exposing theunderlying metal to the wetting action of the molten solder.

5.4.7.1 Procedure. The area to be coated shall be heated to solderingtemperature. A suitable quantity of solder shall then be melted on thesurface to fo~ a molten puddle. The end of the transducer rides over thesurface. Two such solder-coated areas shall then be placed together andheated, until the solder coat melts and forms a bond.

-.

5.4.8 Type VIII - Spray gun solderin~ Spray guns shall be of suitabledesign and construction, so as to permit heating and spraying a continuousfeed solid solder wire. Depending upon gun design, propane, acetylene, ornatural gas with oxygen may be used for heating and spraying. Equipmentshall be similar to that specified in MIL-M-3800.

DOD-STD-1866

5.4.8.1 Procedure. Parts shall be assembled with proper fit and fixedin alignment as required. Using ordinary metal spraying techniques, the vastmajority of solder is melted by the neutral flame of the gun. The soldershould contact the part in a semi-liquid form. The balance of heat required,to melt the filler metal and bring the entire joint uniformly to the liquidustemperature of the solder for flowing, is to be supplied by the part.

5.4.9 Type IX - Wave solderin%. Wave soldering equipment shall be of a

suitable design and construction to permit an automatic application ofsolder. A continuous stream of solder shall be pumped up into the spout,forming a head of solder through which the work can be passed. The equipmentand materials used shall pump a fresh amount of solder into the solder headat all times, so that dross will not accumulate on the solder surface or comein contact with the work. All flux and flux residues, which are wiped offthe work and normally stay on top of the solder bath, shall be carried downwith the vave into a s?ecial rese>oir, where they shall not come in contactwith any ~uture work. Means shill be provided so that solder which is pumpedout of the bottom of the soitierconcainer is always at the same temperature,and the solder reaching the head has no time ta be cooled down by air draftsand other incidental side effects. The eq=ipmenr shall be such that thetemperature of the solder touching the work shall be uniform and can easilybe controlled and maintained.

5.4.9.1 Procedure. Parts shall be fluxed by suitable applicationmethods such as brushing, rolling, spraying, foaming, dipping or wavefluxing. The work shall then be passed through the equipment so that the

molten solder and oil are pumped together to hit the ~ork simultaneously andprevent rapid oxidation. Oil dispersion shall be smooth and evenlydistributed, by injection where the velocity of the solder is greatest. Itis important that preheating prior to soldering be performed, in order togive the flux enough temperature and time to clean and prepare the surfaces,bec=use of the reduced time of the wave. After wave soldering has beenaccomplished, assemblies musr be adequately post-treated to remove oi.1~whenever used in conduction with this method.

5.5 Post-soldering treataent.

5.5.1 Coolin~. Proper jigging, assembly, or controlled cooling, shall

be empioyed to prevent excessive deformation of the joint, or failure of thejoint, during solidification of the solder. The cooling method may be variedto suit each individual application process.

5.5.2 Flux removal. Immediately after soldering and cooling, flux shall,or shall not, be removed depending upon the degree of corrosiveness. Fluxes

conforming to MIL-F-14256, or those ❑eeting the requirements of type R and RMA

of QQ-S-571, having a rosin base do not generally require removal of theresidue, except If appearance is a prime factor or if the joint areas is to bepainted or otherwise coated. Fluxes conforming to O-F-506, identified ascorrosive because of having a zinc chloride or other corrosive base, leave a.

5.6.15 Maximum extent of a single defect. When specified, no singleunsoldered area shall exceed 20 percent of the overlap distance of the jointfor aluminum and aluminum alloys, and 15 percent in all other metals.

5.6.16 Resoldering. Resoldering of joints shall be avoided. If for anyreason a satisfactory joint is not initially obtained, the joint shall betaken apart and the parts shall be cleaned. The entire soldering operationshall be repeated so that the quality standards for a resoldered joint shallbe the same as for an original joint. Excessive solder, unmelted solder,lack of penetration, cold solder, and disturbed solder at the joints willrequire only reheating and reflowing of the solder.

5.6.17 Humidity test. When specified (see 1.4), soldered areaa shall betested for completeness of flux removal residue, and corrosive action on thematerials involved, by the humidity test specified in method 507 ofMIL-STD-81O.

5.6.17.1 Test cabinet. The humidity test cabinet shall be lined withsheet metal, with soldered or welded joints, to form a vapor tight chamber.The walls shall be heavily insulated to minimize heat loss and condensation.Temperature and humidity controls shell be automatic, and shall be capable ofmaintaining a dry bulb temperature of 100 ~ 2°F and a wet bulb temperature of98 ~ 2°F’. There shall not be more than 2°F temperature difference between

any two points in the test area at anytime.

5.6.17.2 Procedure. Selected samples shall be placed in the humiditycabinet and exposed to the conditions specified in 5.6.17.1 for a period of72 hours. The samples at the end of the test period shall be examinedvisually, or at a magnification of 4 X, to determine evidence of corrosioncaused by contamination from flux residues or cleaning solutions.

5.7 Triplicationsdata. This standard is intended for use in the controlof nonelectric solaering processes as applied to various metals and alloysin manufacturing. These soldering procedures are used to obtain desiredproperties, such as leak tightness, pressure tightness, and heat conductivitywithin the limits of the reapectfve materials. The solders required for theprocesses detailed in this standard, as structural materials, are weak whencompared to the materials which they are generally used to join. To avoid

depending upon the strength of the solder, -jointsfor sheet metal structuralassemblies should be so designed that surfaces to be soldered by the variousmethods will require the solder only to seal and stiffen the assembly.

5.7.1 Copper and copper alloys. Copper and copper alloys are solderedto form simple economical joints-on equfpment such as heat exchangers,automotive radfators, heating units, finned tubing, water lines, and flexiblemetal hose that requires leak tightness with good beet conductivity.

DOD-STD-1866

5.7.2 Steels. Tin plated steel used for air ducts, amplifier frames,condensor and capacitor cans, air filters, and gas meter cases are oftensoldered by the dip soldering process. Terne steel is soldered for assemblyinto air cleaners, gasoline tanks, cans, radiator parts, oil pans, fireextinguisher bodies and burial caskets. Frames, tube covers, and chassis forelectronic equipment, made of galvanized steel, are soldered for assembly.Stainless steel cans, pails and buckets are often soldered after spot weldingor riveting to provide leak tight joints.

5.7.3 Nickel and nickel alloys. Nickel and nickel alloys aresolderable. Application should be used only where resistance to corrosion isnot an important factor. Solder can be used for sealing non-pressurizedwater containers, provided the strength of the joints is supplied by rivets,bolts, staking, lock seams, spot welds or other mechanical means. Thesoldering proiess should be lifited to joints in sheet metal not more than5/8 inch wide. Since the solders are weak compared to the basis nickel andnickel alloys, they should not be used :Dr at:actixg fit:ings tonickel-copper fuel tanks or pressurized water containers. In the eventsoldering ❑ust be used for joining nickel and nickel alloys, only thecorrosive fluxes (see 5.2.2), are recommended.

5.7.4 Lead and lead alloys. Lead pipe with soldered joints, or solderedcopper fittings, are used to convey water underground, or in drainage and.- --venting 9ystems. Leaded sheathed cables for telephone, telegraph, andelectrical power transmission conduit also require solder processing forjoining purposes and waterproofing.

5.7.5 Aluminum and aluminum alloys. Tube fin assemblies and cellularassemblies for aluminum and aluminum alloys are joined by dip soldering.

5.7.6 Magnesium and magnesium alloys. Soldering processes are sometimesused for gealing of electronic components encased in tin, or copper platedmagnesium alloy containers.

5.7.7 Cast iron. Soldering processes may be used for repair of brokenor worn cast iron equipment. Surface cracks and depressions caused byinclusions of metal-old reaction my be filled with solder, if the defectsare superficial and application is not critical. Zinc chloride flux shouldbe applied to the cast iron part prior to soldering application.

5.7.8 Cadmium-silver and cadmium-zinc solders. Cadmium-silver andcadmim-zinc solders have been used for the joining of aluminum and its alloysto itself, or to dissimilar metals, by processes detailed In this standard.These solders are extremely dangerous and are of a highly toxic nature.Overheating the solder during joining can vaporize the cadmium to producehighly dangerous and practically odorless fumes. Precautions must be takenfor proper ventilation which may not be suitable or available, duringsoldering processes. Their use iS not recommended as there are othermaterials,

5.7.9 Fluxes.

5.7.9.1 Noncorrosive. Noncorrosive, as used in 5.2.4 to classify fluxes

of this type, is only a relative term. The noncorrosive fluxes are not ascorrosive as the other fluxes listed, namely highly corrosive (see 5.2.2), orintermediate (see 5.2.3), but all fluxes must be corrosive in order to performtheir function. In general, the amount of corrosion resulting from ~onremovalof noncorrosive fluxes may not be harmful to the soldered part or article.

5.7.9.2 Chemical and reaction fluxes. Chemical and reaction fluxes are aspecial group of corrosive fluxes developed for soldering aluminum. Achemical flux is generally composed of an organic fluoborhle (such as borontrifluoride monoethanolamine), a metal fluoborate (such as cadmiumfluoborate), a vehicle (such as methyl alcohol), and a plasticizer (such asstearic acid). Modifiers such as zinc fluoride, zinc chloride, or ammoniumchloride may also be incorporated into the formulation. Reaction fluxesusually are composed of zinc chloride, tin chloride, or combinations of othermetallic halides and ammonium chloride.

5.7.10 For electrical and electronic solderinq. This standard does notcover electrical and electronic soldering requirements, and applies tomechanical soldering only.
