- louprado 12y agoLead vaporizes at 1749 °C. Not going to happen while soldering.
- sliverstorm 12y agoI don't believe that's quite how it works. I don't think it needs to vaporize the way boiling water vaporizes, to be entrained in the smoke.
- kazinator 12y agoOf course, liquids have vapor pressure at any temperature between melting and boiling. I think there is no question that whatever vapor there is can be carried by convection along with the hot gases.
