CORROSION COMMENTARY Available to Purchase

NEW SOLDERING FLUX CUTS CORROSION. Experiments carried out at the Tin Research Institute have resulted in a new soldering process in which the flux spreads more smoothly and quietly over a wider area with scarcely any spattering of the metal. Mr. W. R. Lewis, assistant director of the Institute, who conducted the experiments, used polyethylene glycol—now commercially available—in place of acidified water as a vehicle for acid fluxes.
