A soldering iron is a tool used for joining two pieces of metal by melting a filler metal, called solder, and flowing it into the joint. The soldering iron consists of a heated metal tip that is used to heat the metal parts to be joined and melt the solder.

Soldering irons come in various sizes and shapes, from small handheld models for electronics work to larger models for plumbing and metalworking. They can be powered by electricity, butane, or other fuels.

Soldering irons typically have temperature controls to adjust the heat of the iron and a tip that can be changed to suit the particular application. The tip can be made from various materials, such as copper or iron, and can have different shapes and sizes, such as a chisel, conical, or pointed tip.

To use a soldering iron, the metal parts to be joined are cleaned and positioned together. The soldering iron is heated and applied to the joint, melting the solder and allowing it to flow into the joint. The solder solidifies as it cools, creating a strong bond between the two metal parts.

Soldering irons are commonly used in electronics, jewelry making, plumbing, and metalworking. They can be used to join wires, repair circuit boards, create jewelry, and repair plumbing fixtures.
