🔍 Key Concepts

• Flux function in soldering • Relationship between flux and clean metal surfaces • How solder bonds (tinning) to metal

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the metal surfaces right before solder sticks to them. What problem does flux solve? • Which option describes a preparation step that helps solder form a good bond? • Which choices sound like properties of the solder or iron, and which sound like something done to the surface being joined?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is about cleaning/conditioning the metal surface rather than changing the solder itself • Ask: does flux directly change the melting point or temperature of anything? • Decide which option best matches the idea of helping solder wet and adhere to the base metal.
