What is solder wetting in the context of soldering?
What is solder wetting in the context of soldering?
- The process in which the PCB or component repels the solder
- The process in which metal in the solder bonds with metal on the PCB or component (correct)
- The process in which metal in the solder repels metal on the PCB or component
- The process in which the solder becomes solid and separates from the PCB or component
What happens to the solder during the wetting process?
What happens to the solder during the wetting process?
- It solidifies and becomes detached from the component
- It evaporates and leaves a dry surface on the component
- It becomes fluid molten and can adhere properly to the component (correct)
- It becomes brittle and cracks on the component
What is the purpose of solder wetting in soldering?
What is the purpose of solder wetting in soldering?
- To create a barrier between the solder and the component
- To minimize the bonding between the solder and the component
- To repel the solder from the component
- To ensure proper adhesion of the solder to the component (correct)

Study Notes
Solder Wetting in Soldering
- Solder wetting refers to the ability of a molten solder to flow and spread evenly over a surface, forming a strong bond with the base material.
- During the wetting process, the solder melts and flows into the microscopic crevices and valleys of the surface, creating a strong mechanical bond.
Purpose of Solder Wetting
- The purpose of solder wetting is to ensure a strong, reliable, and durable joint between the solder and the base material.
- Proper solder wetting is crucial in soldering as it helps to:
- Create a strong mechanical bond
- Reduce the risk of defects and failures
- Improve the overall quality and reliability of the solder joint.
