8 minutes to show an arcane procedure to compensate for poor solder iron use. A hot metal put into a saline solution will shed scale or charred rosin from thermal shock. A salt water soldering sponge can maintain a soldering tips' cleanliness and prep it for "retinning".
Zinc chloride flux is available at hardware stores for plumbing use, but chloride ion contamination is a serious PCB defect. Salts should never go near electronic soldering. The only flux you should ever use for electronics is type R or RMA; modern designation L0 or L1. Type RA or M/H flux is corrosive, like salt, and must be completely washed off after soldering; and must never be used on stranded wire or in any location where it cannot be completely removed. Try to use materials that are marked J-STD-004; that's the industry designation for electronic soldering flux. You also must not mix ionic residue or incompatible flux with the flux inside your solder. This will deactivate both the salt and the flux and leave you with insoluble residue embedded in your connections. Use salt for tinkering and making mechanical parts, not for electronics.
Problem. Your tip is NOT copper - it is iron-copper-iron sandwich and iron is alloyed with nickel. Here is proper way to put TIN back on nickel alloy - use Zinc Chloride flux, usually used for Pipe Gas soldering, very very cheap. It is Perfect flux for retining such burned nickel alloy tips. 1) clean tip with 800 grain sand paper 2) while tip is COLD, dip it into burned cleaned tip Zinc Chloride flux 3) take piece of metal, soldering wire, SOFT solder sponge. Start heat to 300C, and RUB solder wire into tip. After 20 second, power off. 4) Wait until its COLD. Clean tip with SOFT wet solder sponge, wash it out with water. Repeat 2,3,4 until its covered in tin! Do not forget to wipe and wash tip and sponge from acid! 5) Now use normal Rosin flux and RUB solder until tip picks solder like new from factory. You are welcome.
@@_Mr_Master soldering tip "refresher" (tippy etc) is either "activated" (acidic) rosin flux + tin powder + quarz sand; OR zinc chloride flux + tin powder. First is not very effective, second is OK (if 10000% price overpaying is OK) provided you wipe the tip with soft wet sponge afterwards. Zinc Chloride flux is extremely active and will "eat" tip and your electronics in several days.
@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH You can do this exact same process as in the video but using 24V and you'll get sinterized solder powder to mix with the zinc chloride, it ain't that expensive to manufacture the stuff instead of overpaying.
This video is like a punch to the face of my soul. This is the kind of video you get from someone who does not know what the heck they're doing. The soldering iron's tip looks like that because he didn't clean it after each use. Electroplating over your gunked up soldering iron tip is not a solution. Do not do this. Instead, use a damp sponge to wipe the tip or a brass tip cleaner. Then put a bit of solder on the tip (called "tinning"). It's best to store your soldering iron with a cleaned and tinned tip. Also, it's good practice to clean and tin your tip any time you set the soldering iron down to keep the tip from oxidizing.
@@jamessever8936 Maybe it would work in a pinch, but you risk forming a bad habit by doing this. If your soldering tip wears out, buy a new one. They're not THAT expensive, and they last quite a while if you take care of them.

I do this same trick with my high temp 180 watt iron that I make my own tips for using 12mm solid copper bar. Without plating the copper before first use it starts flaking with oxidation almost immediately wherever the copper is exposed to air. The electroplating with tin helps shield the copper from oxygen at higher temps, the tip life is more than 10X longer than raw copper.

That reaction also rips the chlorine atoms off the salt molecule and generates quite a bit of chlorine gas. Only do this outside/in a well ventilated area and don't sniff the gas that's coming out of the reaction.
Also, the sodium atoms, that recombining with water molecules forms NaOH, alkalinizing it. Using for too long or reusing the same solution can make it corrosive. At least it will have some 'drain cleaner' side effect, if pouring tin (and lead?) ions along down the drain isn't of an environmental concern😆

Buy a serious soldering iron, and follow the basic rules of soldering and tips maintenence. My Weller station tips are all in perfect condx, after 30 years. All in all, my Weller did cost less than the most bargain soldering iron.
@@JasonWW2000 Pinecils and others like it are fine; I use one all the time. But I've also soldered with an authentic Weller made in the 90s, and the pinecil doesn't come close. The main upside is how fast they heat up, but that's because they have so little thermal mass.
They heat up quickly because they have a very powerful heating element and everything is fully embedded with no air gaps. They also have the temperature probe right at the tip so it's able to detect very quickly if the temperature drops and then it applies more power to keep it at the proper temperature. They are available in a wide variety of tips so you can use one with more mass if you need it.
So, I use a block of sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride) to clean my soldering tip during use and it takes approximately 4-5 seconds to restore the entire tip back to clean and tinnable. This has been a standard practice in soldering going back at least half a century so I have no idea why you’d want to go through such a long process, especially when it generates a toxic solution of lead and tin salts as an intermediate step.

Corrosion Risk: Electrolysis can cause corrosion of the tip, especially if not controlled carefully. The saltwater (sodium chloride solution) can accelerate corrosion, damaging the iron plating and the copper core underneath. Tip Wear: Repeated use of this method could wear down the plating on the soldering iron tip faster than traditional cleaning methods (like using a brass sponge or a tip-tinning compound). Electrolytic Byproducts: The process can create unwanted byproducts, such as chlorine gas (if salt is used), which could be hazardous in poorly ventilated areas. Overheating and Damage: If the current is too high, it could potentially overheat and damage the tip or other components of the soldering iron.
Good suggestion! Will try next time. During my childhood days we used to have Soldering iron with Copper tip and heated with a blow torch. They used to have Acid in place of flux. The technician will dissolve old Dry cell battery case(he used to tell me that Estrella battery case is more effective over Eveready battery case) in the Acid to get more strength for the Solder to stick to the Copper head. Thanks.
Yes, Zinc is also good flux, particularly the chloride. Also, the common AA or AAA batteries has more zinc than necessary and you can take the black paste and cut the zinc can and put it with little water and use that as a flux. The clear liquid has zinc chloride. This is the common zinc based acid flux. To make flux for soldering electronic components, do not use zinc based acid flux. Take rosin and dissolve in alcohol (methylated spirit) and use that solution. The solder core has activated rosin (activated rosin is more acidic)
Don't bother - just do what he did during the cut - Clean the tip. (Notice how the solder still does not stick until AFTER that cut in the video) The same crud that is preventing the solder from sticking will also prevent the electroplating. You cannot electroplate over crud on the tip. The video is BS.

Very interesting. I will try it. I have a number of solder irons that came with cheap tips with no tinning or tinning that was ruined over time. I tried to revive them but nothing worked. Maybe I can fix them with this trick.
Best brand tips lose tin too. It is oxidation of tinned surface. When soldering tip is not used, hold as much molten solder on soldering tips as much as possible, especially in between soldering when the tip is turned on hot. Do not leave clean soldering tip with power on. When storing soldering tip, leave molten solder on the tip, let it cool then wipe off any flux off the tip. The flux accelerates oxidation of the tin on the soldering tip.
Hello, dear friend, regarding the fact that the tip of the hoe was black and did not take the tin because of the oil with the tin wire that you use, if you could have used a dry wire, you would not have had these problems because I experienced this myself.

i never clean my solder tip and never ever looks like that unless you used it in plastic... i have t12 tips... and electrolysis using salt will create chlorine gas..
Trust me, you just gotta heat your oxidized soldering tip, and wiping it on a wet kitchen sponge and it would've fixed that, you don't even need to go through all these exhaustive steps to make a salt solution and blah blah. Just get a Wet Kitchen Sponge!
I've been successfully soldering ALL of my wiring projects for decades... You don't have to go through all this BS in this video if you keep your tip clean after each use... A small cup of brass lathe filings or course steel wool works wonders...
Using brush on the tip and then the solder would be much more effective and quicker... 😅 Anyway a good way to create tin film on other materials. Would it work for e.g. aluminium?
no le pone sal al soldador, hace galvanoplastia en la punta del soldador y la cubre con una capa fina de estaño, usa el agua con sal como electrolito, He does not add salt to the soldering iron, he electroplates the tip of the soldering iron and covers it with a thin layer of tin, he uses salt water as an electrolyte,
Lead-Free solder always destroy the tip very fast as I seen after years of soldering, some kind of buildup occur from this on top of the surface or completely removes it. some good 60-40 tin and not cranking the iron all the way up to 480C is what makes your tip last the longest. I have a few tips that I used so much the actual tip assembly is wearing and breaking down in itself but the actual edge of the tip where the tin is applied is still in perfect working condition
Keeping tip clean and use flux with each solder point. After soldering is complete wipe tip with cotton ball and add some solder to tip; let cool. This is standard procedure to protect iron and prolong it's life. Always use a drop of flux for each joint. A must for perfect shiny junctions.

They are available in a wide variety of tips so you can use one with more mass if you need it.
I usually wire wheel the tip to get a clean surface then dip in flux apply solder should hold
Excellent idea long lasting soldering tip. useful video friend...
What pls don't do this
You are doing well dear friend
Put your hot soldering tip in small amount of nh4cl and melt some solder wire touching thenh4cl ......try it
So, I use a block of sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride) to clean my soldering tip during use and it takes approximately 4-5 seconds to restore the entire tip back to clean and tinnable. This has been a standard practice in soldering going back at least half a century so I have no idea why you’d want to go through such a long process, especially when it generates a toxic solution of lead and tin salts as an intermediate step.
your solution is in the sae kind...chloride and ammoniac not near circuit board like current and salt make chloride gas
Если соль заменить на лаврушку или перец, больше вообще лудить не придётся.... 😆 А если заменить на сахар то жало превратится в электрод по чугуну 😂 Напишите ему на "ихнем", что сначала жало чистят, а потом лудят с флюсом, а не страдают фигнёй....
Либо сразу берут жало у которого на кончике покрытие есть, которое лудить не надо))
Corrosion Risk: Electrolysis can cause corrosion of the tip, especially if not controlled carefully. The saltwater (sodium chloride solution) can accelerate corrosion, damaging the iron plating and the copper core underneath.
Tip Wear: Repeated use of this method could wear down the plating on the soldering iron tip faster than traditional cleaning methods (like using a brass sponge or a tip-tinning compound).
Electrolytic Byproducts: The process can create unwanted byproducts, such as chlorine gas (if salt is used), which could be hazardous in poorly ventilated areas.
Overheating and Damage: If the current is too high, it could potentially overheat and damage the tip or other components of the soldering iron.

it’s salt in Turkish
@@poyrikkanal i knew it was salt, i didnth know thats how its written in turkish.

Nice video, keep it up ❤

Thank you for your comment and support.
Love that soldering iron
long enough to make it 👍
Good suggestion! Will try next time. During my childhood days we used to have Soldering iron with Copper tip and heated with a blow torch. They used to have Acid in place of flux. The technician will dissolve old Dry cell battery case(he used to tell me that Estrella battery case is more effective over Eveready battery case) in the Acid to get more strength for the Solder to stick to the Copper head.
Thanks.
Yes, Zinc is also good flux, particularly the chloride. Also, the common AA or AAA batteries has more zinc than necessary and you can take the black paste and cut the zinc can and put it with little water and use that as a flux. The clear liquid has zinc chloride. This is the common zinc based acid flux.
To make flux for soldering electronic components, do not use zinc based acid flux. Take rosin and dissolve in alcohol (methylated spirit) and use that solution. The solder core has activated rosin (activated rosin is more acidic)
Don't bother - just do what he did during the cut - Clean the tip.
(Notice how the solder still does not stick until AFTER that cut in the video)
The same crud that is preventing the solder from sticking will also prevent the electroplating. You cannot electroplate over crud on the tip. The video is BS.
@@halfrhovsquared Hahaha!
Old Joke! Someone sarcastically asked Thomas Alva Edison as to whether it is true that he failed 999 times while Inventing the Incandescent light???
No, actually I found out that you can't make an Incandescent light in 999 ways ... replied Edison calmly.
And I always say 'Mistakes are Human beings'...
Thanks.

Very interesting. I will try it. I have a number of solder irons that came with cheap tips with no tinning or tinning that was ruined over time. I tried to revive them but nothing worked. Maybe I can fix them with this trick.
To all the people new to soldering.. the real answer to this problem is only buy good quality iron tips. Then this problem is non-existent.
Can you suggest some brands?
Best brand tips lose tin too. It is oxidation of tinned surface. When soldering tip is not used, hold as much molten solder on soldering tips as much as possible, especially in between soldering when the tip is turned on hot. Do not leave clean soldering tip with power on. When storing soldering tip, leave molten solder on the tip, let it cool then wipe off any flux off the tip. The flux accelerates oxidation of the tin on the soldering tip.
Hello, dear friend, regarding the fact that the tip of the hoe was black and did not take the tin because of the oil with the tin wire that you use, if you could have used a dry wire, you would not have had these problems because I experienced this myself.
Amen thank you for defending his effort to help. Rock throwers leave
Excellent idea
thx my friend
It's good for jewellery cleaning up
Tato tenká vrstvička cínu nevydrží ani několik sekund. Očištění hrotu hadříkem nebo houbičkou pomůže více. Pokud je ten hrot originální, potažený železem. Pokud je to nějaký náhradní hrot z čisté mědi, lze ho obrousit, ale vydrží jen pár hodin, rozpoští se v cínu.

Same issue with my old soldering iron, I have to try this out. Thanks
Namaste Sir, which flux solder wire is best.thanks
Flix solder wire
As my tip gets dirty, I roll and drag the tip on the leg of my jeans. Not to long through so I don't get burnt. But works nice for removing the gunk.
Cool....😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love it! So how long exactly is the electrolysis time for plating the tin onto the soldering iron? I'm trying with 9v, myself
Good stuff.
Iron plating on Pace tips is the thickest and best. My ADS200 is too expensive now so an old Weller station will give the same results.
i never clean my solder tip and never ever looks like that unless you used it in plastic... i have t12 tips... and electrolysis using salt will create chlorine gas..
Trust me, you just gotta heat your oxidized soldering tip, and wiping it on a wet kitchen sponge and it would've fixed that, you don't even need to go through all these exhaustive steps to make a salt solution and blah blah. Just get a Wet Kitchen Sponge!
Thank you.
THANKS & GRAT.

I've been successfully soldering ALL of my wiring projects for decades... You don't have to go through all this BS in this video if you keep your tip clean after each use... A small cup of brass lathe filings or course steel wool works wonders...
Using brush on the tip and then the solder would be much more effective and quicker... 😅
Anyway a good way to create tin film on other materials. Would it work for e.g. aluminium?
no le pone sal al soldador, hace galvanoplastia en la punta del soldador y la cubre con una capa fina de estaño, usa el agua con sal como electrolito,
He does not add salt to the soldering iron, he electroplates the tip of the soldering iron and covers it with a thin layer of tin, he uses salt water as an electrolyte,
Lead-Free solder always destroy the tip very fast as I seen after years of soldering, some kind of buildup occur from this on top of the surface or completely removes it. some good 60-40 tin and not cranking the iron all the way up to 480C is what makes your tip last the longest. I have a few tips that I used so much the actual tip assembly is wearing and breaking down in itself but the actual edge of the tip where the tin is applied is still in perfect working condition
I like this video❤❤❤
