History. Babylon and ancient Egypt.

The technology of joining two metal workpieces by soldering them has been known since ancient times. Soldering is thought to have been first used to join pieces of metal utensils in 3000 BC. Soldering was used on copper, gold and alloys based on them. In particular, excavations of ancient Babylon revealed gold vessels with handles brazed either with pure gold or with silver and gold alloys. Soldered ornaments were also known to the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt. In the second millennium B.C. Egyptians soldered no longer pure gold, but invented or soldered solders. In order to reduce the melting point of the alloy, the Egyptians annealed the solder in charcoal powder. A kind of cementation took place, as a result of which the surface layers were enriched with carbon and the melting point of the alloy was lowered.

Ancient Rome

Soft solders, the main part of which is lead and tin, are described in the works of the ancient Roman scholar and writer Pliny the Elder. In his "History of Nature", written in the 1st century A.D., Pliny described in detail the use of two types of soft solders: tetraria (consisting of 65% lead and 35% tin) and argentaria (consisting of lead and tin in equal proportions). It is noteworthy that these soft solders are still used today, albeit with slight modifications. The supplier Evek GmbH offers a wide range of soft solder at an affordable price.

Lead solders

Soft solders were mainly used in joining water pipes in the Roman Empire. Archaeologists found evidence of this during the excavation of Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius. Among the ruins of the city were found the remains of lead water pipes, the connection of which was made by soldering technology of soft solder from tin and lead. A similar technique was also used in Libya and Nubia.

Ancient Russia

Numerous examples of the use of soft solders in soldering are also known on the territory of our country. In particular, in the upper Volga Region during the excavations of ancient settlements, the appearance of which is dated IV-V centuries A.D., were found hardware and knifes of complex forms, separate parts of which were united with the methods of soldering with the use of soft solder. It is also known that brazing with alloys containing copper, tin and lead was used by Kievan Rus masters for making keys and edged weapons.
