Soldering iron

A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering . It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two work pieces.
A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current (supplied through an electrical cord or battery cables) through a resistive heating element. Cordless irons can be heated by combustion of gas stored in a small tank, often using a catalytic heater rather than a flame.
Soldering irons are most often used for installation, repairs, and limited production work in electronics assembly. High-volume production lines use other soldering methods
A catalytic heater is a type of heater which relies on catalysed chemical reactions to break down molecules and produce heat.
