Question

Molten solder flows between the two base metals being soldered because ____. A. the atmospheric pressure pushes it in B. of capillary action C. there are no surface pores in the base metal D. the tubing surface melts and the pressure differential forces it in

Answer 1

Answer:

Molten solder flows between the two base metals being soldered because of capillary action.

Explanation:

Capillary molten solder takes place when a metal and a melt is brought into contact with the tube and an accessory after heating. Due to the phenomenon of capillary action, the molten metal rises and extends in any direction, due to the small space that remains between the wall of the tube and that of the fitting; With this, when cooling, a completely hermetic union is achieved.
