What is an Alloy?

An alloy is a substance made by melting two or more elements together, at least one of them a metal. An alloy crystallizes upon cooling into a solid solution, mixture, or intermetalliccompound.

What is solder?

Solder is an alloy, which is a combination of two or more metals. It is heated to its melting point and used to join together other metals. The most common solder is called half-and-half, or "plumber's" solder, and is composed of equal parts of lead and tin. Other metals used in solder are aluminum, cadmium, zinc, nickel, gold, silver, palladium, bismuth, copper, and antimony.

What does the term "Tinning" refer to?

Tinning is a process of coating the two surfaces to be joined with a thin layer of solder to help the main mass of solder flow and melt into the joint.

On today's lesson I almost finished my lamp. The LEDs are on the top of my lamp, the cable goes through the hole between my base and the aluminium and that's pretty cool, cause my design saved some of my time. Because other girls had to drill a hole in a base and in an aluminium piece.
On today's lesson I had some trouble with melting the wire so it could join the cable parts with LEDs. That's because I didn't push strong enough and melted wire just didn't want to stay on the place where she supposed to be. As I pushed it a bit harder and actually held the thing (that melts wire ) on the place where I want melted wire to stay and then put some wire on its top-it melted in a sec and everything was good and stayed in a right place.
Next lesson I'm going to cover the cable and put a piece of plastic on top of it and I'm done. Yay!
