Amerway OA Core Wire Solder Technical Data Bulletin
Technical Bulletin
| Description |
| The Amerway OA Core Wire Solders provide the highest degree of reliability when hand
soldering for production or repair. This product is an organic activated, water soluble flux cored
solder, designed for very difficult to solder applications. |
| Application |
| The Amerway OA Core Wire Solder is recommended for use on very difficult to solder materials
where rosin based fluxes and electronic grade organic fluxes are not strong enough. It has been
used effectively in many non-electronic applications such as lamps, fuses, and jewelry. This flux
is active on copper, brass, bronze, steel, nickel, and stainless steel. It is also recommended for
industries doing bulk joining of metals such as in air conditioning, refrigeration, radiators, etc. |

| Availability |
| The Amerway OA Core Wire Solder is available in standard tin-lead and lead free alloys; in a
variety of wire diameters from 0.020 to 0.125 in a variety of flux percentages from 1.1% to 4.0%
and in weight including 1 lb., 5lb. and 20 lb., spools. |
| Safety |
| Amerway OA Core Wire Solder as used in typical soldering process will generate a small amount
of decomposition and reaction product fumes. These fumes must be adequately exhausted for the
operator’s safety and comfort. Wash hands after handling and before eating, drinking or
smoking. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet before using. |
| Residue Removal |
| The post -soldering residues of the Amerway OA Core Wire Solder are completely soluble in
water. Cold water soaking can be used. However, hot water will greatly accelerate the cleaning
process. Local regulations may require pre-treatment to remove dissolved lead from water where
tin-lead solder is used. A pH adjustment of the effluent water may also be required. |
