Although m a n y books have been published on soldering techniques, there have been few so c o m p r e h e n s i v e as "Soldering in Electronics".
T h e first chapter deals with
the interaction of the various aspects which determine the result of the soldering operation, n a m e l y the quality of the soldered joints.
It is explained that the desired goals can
only be achieved if soldering is treated as a coherent system, all separate aspects of which are to be well prepared, often long before the actual m o m e n t operation.
This w a y of thinking has m a n y
of the soldering
implications for the other chapters, such as
on solderable coatings, solderability assessment,
and joint design.
