Soldering of plumbing elements made of copper and titanium zinc

What is flying?

Soldering of plumbing elements made of copper and titanium zinc is possible thanks to different models of soldering irons. There are various on the market. Obviously, this method is not very popular with plumbers at the moment, but regardless, working with a blowtorch is something every plumber should master. Knowing the correct procedure and having the right tools for soldering can come in handy especially when renovating the roofs of cultural monuments, where the gutter system is often made of copper gutters. Another material that is currently being flown is titanium zinc. In our country, this material is expensive, which is why there are few roofs made of this material. But if a plumber has a demand for a contract made of this material, just the experience with the casting of titanium zinc sheets will certainly help him to obtain it. I admit that I myself have no experience with soldering and it was the desire and willingness to try it that got me to the workshop for the realization of aerial models, which were realized just from titanium zinc. For a beginner it was a suitable event, because estimating the correct temperature of the flying body, fixing the material in the desired position and subsequent flying, required the necessary attention. In the “laboratory” conditions in the workshop there were no adverse influences, such as strong winds, possible rain.

Aids needed for flying

So let me briefly introduce the tools I needed for this job. And it doesn’t matter if I was constructing an airplane, or if I was going to fly titanium zinc gutters. This experience helped me to try out the necessary tools for reliable flying. These included agrofix solvent, unigel flux, and ZINNFIX copper tip cleaner.
