What kinds of metal can a soldering iron melt?

not much. copper, aluminum, gold, silver, , iron have pretty decently high melting points.

zinc low one. @ ~840°f, melts on stovetop.

lead melts in 600°f range.

solders specially formulated alloys. instance, aluminum , copper solders have high zinc content because zinc dissolves both of them @ around 950°f, forming solid solutions when solidify @ room temp. (think sugar dissolving in water.)

these solder alloys listed "low melt" , used low temp soldering of kind used in light hobbywork.

tin , brass , bronze solders listed low melt well.

no iron solders exist low melt. lowest iron solders in 2,600°f range. iron forms solid solutions aluminum, manganese, carbon, , magnesium. of have high melting points. carbon being highest of elements , aluminum being 1250°f, above hobby soldering temps. you'd use tig, mig, or arc.

know can use solder, there else can use soldering iron?
1. copper
2. iron
3. lead
4. zinc
5. aluminum
6. tin
7. silver
8. else, please tell me
if know, please tell me.
