Copper, Brass and Nickel
soldering iron design and the nature of the task.
● Care should be exercised to avoid unnecessarily high tip
temperatures for extensive periods of time.
● A high tip temperature may increase any tendency to flux spitting
and it may produce some residue darkening.
● The tip of the soldering iron should be properly tinned. Severely
contaminated soldering iron tips should be cleaned with
Multicore® Tip Tinner/Cleaner.
● Wipe the tip on a clean, damp sponge before re-tinning with
LOCTITE C 511 wire.
Soldering Process:
1. Apply the soldering iron tip to the work surface. The iron tip
should contact both the base material and the lead at the same
time to heat both surfaces properly. It should take no more than
a fraction of a second to heat both surfaces adequately.
2. Apply LOCTITE C 511 flux cored wire to a part of the joint
surface away from the soldering iron and allow to form a joint
fillet. This will be virtually instantaneous. Do not apply excessive
solder to the joint as this will not improve joint integrity and it will
leave excess flux residues on the surface.
3. Remove solder from the work piece and then remove the iron tip.
4. The total process will be very rapid, depending upon thermal
mass, tip temperature, tip configuration and the solderability of
the surfaces to be joined.
5. The resin and flux systems are designed to leave relatively low
residues and to minimize residual activity. This is achieved by
ensuring some decomposition and volatilization takes place
during the soldering process
Cleaning:
LOCTITE C 511 flux cored solder wire has been formulated to leave
amber flux residues and resist spitting and fuming. In most industrial
and consumer electronics applications, cleaning will not be
required. The product may, therefore, be used to complement a
no-clean wave soldering or reflow process or to allow repairs to
cleaned boards without the need for a second cleaning process. In
high-reliability applications, the residues should be removed.
Should cleaning be required, this is best achieved using SC-01™
cleaner.

ALLOYS:
The alloys used in LOCTITE C 511 cored solder wires conform to the
purity requirements of the common national and international
standards.
FLUX:
LOCTITE C 511 solid flux is based on modified rosin and carefully
selected activators. In practice they exhibit a mild rosin odor and leave
a small quantity of clear residue.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Soldering with LOCTITE C 511 does not require any special methods
or deviation from standard hand soldering practices.
Soldering Iron:
● Good results can be obtained using a range of tip temperatures.
However, the optimum tip temperature and heat capacity
required for a hand-soldering process is a function of both
