This means that the first syllable is pronounced with an 'oh' sound, followed by a short 'uh' sound, and then a 'der' sound.

SOLDER Meaning and Definition

  1. Solder is a noun and a verb that is commonly used in the context of metalwork and electronics. As a noun, solder refers to a metal alloy that is used to join or fuse together two or more pieces of metal or electrical components. It is typically made from a combination of tin and lead, although lead-free solder alternatives are also available for environmental and health concerns.

    As a verb, solder refers to the act of joining or bonding two or more metal parts or electrical components using solder. This process involves heating the solder until it melts and flows between the parts, creating a strong and permanent connection when it solidifies.

    Soldering is an essential technique used in various fields, including electronics, plumbing, and jewelry making, where a strong and reliable connection is required for the proper functioning or construction of a device or structure. It is often performed using a soldering iron or a soldering gun, which supplies heat to melt the solder and a flux to promote the flow and adhesion of the molten metal.

    During the soldering process, the solder wets and adheres to the metal surface, creating a metallurgical bond between the parts being joined. This bond is usually characterized by good electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and resistance to vibration, corrosion, and temperature changes.

    Overall, soldering plays a crucial role in enabling the assembly, repair, and maintenance of various metal and electronic components by providing a reliable and durable means of joining them together.

  2. • A metallic composition for uniting or cementing metals.
    • To unite metals by the fusion of a metallic cement; to mend; to unite anything broken.
