Basicaly i need to make a soldering iron tip, possibly a few. All custom pofiles to solder on a profiled pre tinned wire. Im more than happy with how to attach it to the electric iron i plan to power it with. But what matirial are they - should they be made from?
Experiance with old flame heated irons has taught me copper just gets dissolved in the solder quickly at that. I realy don't want to be reprofileing them all the time. i need the tip to be groved to guide the wire - iron whilst soldering to a pretinned part.
From what i have read online it sounds like there iron platted rather than copper. Does anyone have any idea of what though? Ie grade of matirial.
Thanks
