"soldering torch"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "soldering torch"?

A soldering torch is a tool used for melting and joining materials, usually metals, by applying heat. It produces a small, focused flame that heats up solder, a metal alloy, which then melts and bonds the pieces together. Soldering torches are commonly used in electrical work, plumbing, jewelry making, and small repairs where precise heat is needed. The tool is typically fueled by gas, such as butane or propane, and allows for fine control over the flame's temperature, making it ideal for tasks that require accuracy and a strong bond between materials.
