Soldering is the process used to build a soldering connection by using the heated tip of a soldering iron to melt soldering wire. The soldering tips are available in many different sizes and tip shapes, dependant on the application they are being used for. They are used to melt solder wire to connect two elements or components together to create a permanent connection and are often utilised in an electronics or manufacturing capacity as they often need to be conductive. The process of soldering is most commonly used by:
DIY enthusiasts
Plumbers
Electricians
Vehicle technicians

Soldering is often used for:
General wiring applications
Electrical repair work at home, in factories or for vehicles
Audio systems
Cable assembling
